FAQs

What makes the Vita fabric special?

Vita fabric is an eco-sustainable material made with regenerated nylon. It's exceptionally lightweight (190 gr/m2), 25% thinner than standard knits, offers excellent coverage, and has a smooth, soft feel against the skin.

Is the chamois suitable for all triathlon distances?

The Elastic Interface® SUPER-Tri S chamois is specifically designed for triathlon performance, providing comfort for rides up to 6 hours. Its perforated design and high-density foam offer good protection and quick-drying properties, making it suitable for sprint, Olympic, and half-Ironman distances. For ultra-endurance events, individual comfort may vary.

How do I wash and care for the tri suit?

Machine wash the suit at 30°C. Do not tumble dry; it should be air-dried. Avoid harsh detergents or fabric softeners.

What is the UV protection level?

The suit provides 50+ UV protection, safeguarding your skin from harmful sun rays during outdoor activities.

Are there pockets for nutrition?

Yes, the suit features ergonomic mesh back pockets designed for convenient storage of nutrition or small essentials during a race or training.

What are the main material differences between color variants?

The Black variant uses primarily recycled polyamide, while the Bluing variant uses a polyester blend for its main fabric, with polyamide in the bottom insert. Both offer performance stretch and comfort.

Can the front zip be opened during a run?

Yes, the YKK front lock zip is designed for easy adjustment and can be opened for additional ventilation during the run leg of a triathlon or during intense training.

Troubleshooting

Suit feels too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have consulted the DHB Clothing Sizing chart and selected the correct size. Different fabric compositions (polyamide vs. polyester blends) may have slightly different stretch characteristics.

Chafing during activity

Verify the fit is snug but not overly tight. Ensure flatlocked seams are positioned correctly against the skin. If the issue persists, consider using a chamois cream.

Chamois is uncomfortable on long rides

The SUPER-Tri S chamois is designed for rides up to 6 hours. For longer durations, additional chamois cream might be beneficial, or consider a suit with a more robust chamois if primarily used for extended cycling.

Leg grippers sliding up

Ensure the leg grippers are positioned correctly on the leg. If they continue to slide, ensure the leg size is appropriate for the suit's circumference.
