Zone3 Lava Long Distance Tri Shorts Men - black/white

If you're committed to IM distance events and beyond, you need to know that your supplier is just as committed as you are. Over these distances, you'll feel every imperfection, every quick decision and every cost saving a brand has made.

The multi-award winning Lava collection has been Zone3's endurance staple since its launch in 2013, and Zone3 has been researching and developing it ever since. A fully-fledged collection of men's and women's wetsuits and separates, Zone3 has selected the best Italian and French materials to repel water, optimize aerodynamics and improve comfort.

Comfort is king in endurance races. The Lava suit has benefited from significant improvements to the material used on the upper body to improve breathability, temperature control and freedom of movement.

Features of the Zone3 Lava Long Distance Tri Shorts for men

• High quality fabrics ensure the perfect level of compression, performance and comfort throughout the race.
• Ergonomic panel design, fit and fabric positions are engineered for temperature control.
• Extremely high quality, Iron Performance padding from Cytech. Crucial for IM distances.
• Integrated Italian leg grippers for maximum comfort and support throughout the race.
• Functional pocket design for race day nutrition.

Fabric:

• Sensory:- An extremely smooth and soft fabric that feels fantastic against the skin, it provides extra support and compression on the legs along with a fully water repellent coating. The fabric is highly breathable and sweat-wicking, while the 360º stretch effect ensures total freedom of movement.
• Integrated leg grippers: Premium Italian design using natural gold fibers for enhanced comfort. This extended panel is bonded for optimum fit and draught resistance. The grippers keep the legs in place on the bike and run without an extra seam seen on most tri suits. This fabric is also highly breathable, wicks moisture and is comfortable against the body for a great fit.

Performance:

• Super snug waistband - A 3.5cm elastic waistband has been added to the shorts to ensure an extremely comfortable and supportive fit.
• The legs are provided with balanced compression through a carefully designed panel shape and the high denier rating of the Sensory fabric. This improves muscle support and helps to increase blood flow away from the legs, reducing the amount of lactic acid and improving endurance and stamina.
• Brand new 'Iron Performance' surface designed by Cytech, one of the world's leading surface manufacturers in Italy. One of the most important aspects of racing over this distance is comfort in the saddle. The innovative perforated pad lamination ensures maximum breathability and quick drying. The high-density foam offers more cushioning and protection while cycling, and the central channeling in the perinea area is designed to compensate for pressure points. The high elasticity of the padding also maximizes freedom of movement when swimming and running.
• The Tri Short is designed to sit slightly higher on the waist than a normal Tri Short to cover the back in the aero position.
• Rear Nutrition Storage Pocket: Plus, a new zippered pocket on the back that is perfect for valuables or nutrition that need a more secure fit during the swim and can be eaten on the way to T1.
• Construction: using heat bonding, flat lock stitching and closed seams to strike the perfect balance between comfort and speed.
