The Aerostripe sleeve fabric is designed to improve aerodynamics by reducing drag, which can help increase speed during the cycling and running portions of a race.

The cargo pocket is designed for effortless access. Simply reach to the designated pocket area, typically located on the back or side of the suit, to retrieve your nutrition mid-race.
Is the trisuit suitable for long-distance races?
Yes, the trisuit is designed for performance and comfort across all disciplines, featuring a supportive pad and precision seam placement to minimize irritation, making it suitable for longer events.
How does the enhanced mesh back panel improve performance?
The enhanced mesh back panel significantly boosts airflow and cooling, helping to regulate your body temperature and keep you comfortable during strenuous activity, especially in warmer conditions.
Can I use this trisuit for training as well as racing?
Absolutely. While designed with race-day features, its durable construction and comfortable materials make it excellent for regular training sessions.
What does '100% recycled performance materials' mean for the suit?
It means that all components of the suit, including the main fabric, chamois, and silicone grippers, are made from recycled sources, offering high performance while being environmentally sustainable.
How should I wash my Activate+ Short Sleeve Trisuit?
Rinse in cold, fresh water after each use. Wash separately on a delicate cycle at 30°C with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and tumble drying. Dry naturally away from direct sunlight.
Troubleshooting
Chafing or discomfort during wear
Ensure the suit is the correct size and fits snugly but not restrictively. Check seam placement and adjust the suit's position. Rinse the suit thoroughly after each use to remove any residual salt or chlorine that could cause irritation.
Suit feels tight or restrictive
This is often normal for performance-oriented trisuits. Allow a few uses for the fabric to adapt to your body shape. Ensure you are wearing the correct size as per the sizing guide.
Water retention in the pad
The Tri-Lite pad is designed to offer comfort and is made from absorbent materials. While it may hold a small amount of water, it is engineered to shed water quickly and dry efficiently during the bike and run phases.
Silicone grippers causing irritation
Ensure the silicone grippers are positioned correctly on the skin. If irritation persists, consider wearing a thin layer of anti-chafing balm on the skin where the grippers make contact, or try a trisuit with different gripper material.
