FAQs
What is the main advantage of the sleeveless design?
The sleeveless design offers greater freedom of movement for the arms and shoulders, particularly beneficial during the swim stroke and reducing heat buildup during warmer conditions.
How should I clean my Activate+ Sleeveless Trisuit?
Rinse with cold water after each use and machine wash on a cold, delicate cycle (30°C) with a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and tumble drying. Hang dry in the shade.
Are the materials environmentally friendly?
Yes, the Activate+ Sleeveless Trisuit is constructed from 100% recycled performance materials, including the main fabric, mesh back panel, and leg grippers.
What is the purpose of the Tri-Lite pad?
The Tri-Lite pad is a lightweight, comfortable pad made from recycled foam. It provides cushioning and support specifically for the cycling portion of a triathlon, designed to be unobtrusive during the swim and run.
How do the leg grippers work?
The recycled silicone UFO leg grippers are designed to hold the suit securely in place on the thigh without causing discomfort or restricting blood flow. They ensure the leg openings stay down during all three disciplines.
Can I store nutrition in the pockets?
Yes, the trisuit features an elasticated rear pocket and a new cargo pocket, ideal for carrying energy gels, bars, or other small race-day essentials.
Is this suit suitable for long-distance triathlons?
The Activate+ Sleeveless Trisuit is excellent for sprint, Olympic, and middle-distance triathlons. For ultra-distance events, some athletes may prefer a trisuit with a thicker, more specialized chamois for extended cycling comfort.
Troubleshooting
Trisuit feels tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size according to the ZONE3 sizing guide. Try a different size if necessary. Ensure the suit is properly positioned on your body.
Chafing from leg grippers or seams
Verify the trisuit is the correct size and not too tight. Apply a thin layer of anti-chafing balm to areas prone to friction. Ensure the leg grippers are lying flat against the skin.
Pad feels uncomfortable during cycling
Ensure the pad is correctly positioned. For longer distances, consider if a trisuit with a more substantial pad is more suitable for your needs. Always wear underwear with the trisuit is not recommended for optimal performance and comfort.
Fabric retention after swimming
Rinse the suit immediately after swimming and wash according to care instructions. Ensure the suit is hung to dry properly, avoiding prolonged dampness.
