FAQs

Is this suit suitable for women as well as men?

The Dhb Hydron Short Sleeve Tri Suit is designed as a unisex garment. While it aims for a universal fit, it's crucial to consult the sizing chart and consider individual body shape for the best fit.

How durable is the Vita fabric?

The Vita fabric is designed for high performance and durability in athletic conditions. It is resistant to abrasion and maintains its structure and coverage through repeated use and washing, provided care instructions are followed.

Can I wear this suit for a full Ironman distance race?

The CyTech Super-Tri S pad is recommended for rides up to 6 hours. While the suit is comfortable for all disciplines, for ultra-endurance events exceeding 6-7 hours of continuous wear, you might want to consider additional padding or a suit specifically designed for ultra-distance.

How should I wash the tri suit?

You should machine wash the suit at 30°C (86°F) with similar colors and avoid tumble drying. Do not use fabric softeners or bleach.

What is the UV protection level?

The suit offers 50+ UV protection, providing a high level of defense against the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays.

Does the chamois stay comfortable when wet?

Yes, the EIT Super-Tri pads are designed with perforated foam and quick-drying properties, ensuring comfort even after submersion in water and during the transition to running.

Troubleshooting

Chafing during activity

Ensure the suit is the correct size and fits snugly without being too tight. Double-check that the flat locked stitching is not causing irritation. Consider using a chamois cream if the issue persists during long rides.

Leg grippers slipping or rolling up

Verify that the silicone print is clean and dry. Ensure the leg length is appropriate for your inseam; if the suit is too long, it might affect the gripper's performance. Try washing the suit as per care instructions to potentially restore some grip.

Zipper gets stuck

Gently try to maneuver the zipper. Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth. If it continues to be an issue, a small amount of graphite lubricant (like from a pencil lead) applied to the teeth may help. Avoid excessive force.
