TRI SUIT
THE IDEAL SUIT FOR
ALL THREE TRIATHLON SPORTS
#1WHAT IS A TRI SUIT?
You can wear it for the swimming portion, thanks to its specially adapted fabric; you can keep it on for the cycling portion, thanks to the ultra-comfortable integrated chamois pad; and then you can run in it. The tri suit is a high-tech outfit engineered to make the triathlete comfortable during the three disciplines. Thanks to its second skin effect, it is worn from beginning to end of the race.
It is available in a one-piece suit version with or without sleeves or as an outfit made up of a separate jersey and tight shorts also known as a singlet + shorty.
I have used the Aptonia tri suit since my second Sprint triathlon. I really liked the suit's design, and I didn't feel any discomfort during the race. You can't feel it underneath your neoprene suit; the pad keeps you comfortable during the cycling section, and finally, during the running section, you enjoy freedom of movement and no chafing.
#2THE ADVANTAGES
OF THE TRI SUIT
COMFORTABLE SEAT Tri suits have a pad that is very comfortable when sitting on a bicycle and prevents rubbing. The pad is antibacterial, offering excellent standards of hygiene, and eliminates perspiration. It is however not as thick as a pair of cycling shorts. This is to ensure that it dries quickly when you get out of the water so that you can run comfortably.
TIME SAVING The Tri suit means you can mount your bike as soon as you get out of the water, and then continue directly with the running section.
BREATHABILITY The Tri suit's fabric is breathable and keeps you cool throughout the race.
QUICK DRYING The Tri suit is made of fabric similar to swimsuit material, and is therefore fast drying. It is also light and stretchy for complete freedom of movement during all three sports.
CARRYING CAPACITY Thanks to its handy pockets, the Tri suit allows you to transport refreshments, a bike pump or any other equipment you may need for the race.
#3THE DIFFERENT MODELS
SD TRI SUIT -
SHORT DISTANCE
The SD model is ideal for short-distance races (from Super Sprint to Olympic) and will keep you comfortable for all three triathlon sports during races of up to three hours.
LD TRI SUIT -
LONG DISTANCE
The LD model is ideal for long-distance races (from Olympic to Full Ironman) and will keep you comfortable for all three triathlon sports during races of over three hours.
#4HOW TO LOOK AFTER
YOUR TRI SUIT
It is advisable to wash the tri suit at a low temperature, i.e. no more than 30°C in a machine, and hang it in a place away from direct sunlight.
Do not tumble dry, do not dry clean and do not iron in order to preserve the properties of your tri suit. By following these precautions, it will last longer.
