Our priorities when designing
this top were:
1. Aerodynamic, women’s specific fit
2. Comfort next to the skin
3. Functional fabric with optimum temperature control
4. Easy access to pockets for nutrition
5. UV protection
The
Aero Top is a very useful piece of kit to have in the locker. Event conditions
can change quickly and with more long-course tri events taking place earlier
and later in the season this top is designed to help you brave the elements.
With 3/4 length sleeves and slightly thicker fabric than the rest of the Lava
range this top offers some unique properties which makes it suitable for warm
weather races but also perfect as an extra layer or worn by itself in cooler or
wet conditions.
THE FABRIC:
The
top is made from Zone3's Sensory Fabric which
is effective in a number of ways:
•
The fabric is extremely smooth and soft to touch
meaning it feels fantastic next to the skin, exactly what you would want for
such a long event.
•
It is also highly breathable and sweat wicking for
optimum temperature control. In warmer conditions the fabric will work to keep
you cool, especially when wet. In cooler conditions, it works to maintain body
warmth whilst still ensuring aerodynamics.
•
We would recommend the Lava Tri Top for hot conditions,
the Aero Top for temperate or changeable conditions and a combination of the
Lava Tri suit or Tri Top with the Aero Top as the outer layer for cool
conditions.
•
The fabric offers 360o stretch for total freedom of movement
and comfort.
•
The optical white colour helps reflect the suns heat
and offers high UPF protection.
THE FIT:
1. Aerodynamic fit - The panel design uses minimal number of
seams and the front is higher and the back is lower, allowing for optimum
comfort and coverage when in the aero position. We would recommend putting it
on in T1 rather than wearing on the swim.
2. Nutrition storage is maximised with big pockets on the back to
stock up on nutrition and make it easy to access whilst on the bike or run.
3. A full front zipper allowing it to be put on and taken off easily
and allow extra airflow and ventilation if required.
