The reception for blueseventy's original thermal suit far exceeded their expectations. blueseventy immediately heard from a growing market of eager open water swimmers who praised them for extending their outdoor swimming season. The THERMAL Reaction is their response to deliver this option to more swimmers. Built with a high-grade traditional YKK zipper for easy in and out, proven RST panels, SCS coating, triple glued seams, blind stitched and internally taped high stress areas - the only thing left to do is hook your key on the loop and jump in. MADE FOR COLD WATER Full internal zirconium jersey reduces water absorption and protects against heat loss. Paired with neoprene accessories the THERMAL Reaction is rated down to 48°F / 9°C while a standard full suit for swimming is typically good to 54°F / 12°C. VO2 CHEST PANEL A central split chest panel allows greater chest expansion and unimpeded breathing. REACTIVE STRETCH TECHNOLOGY (RST) Upgraded to silver premium Yamamoto #39 cell rubber, the RST panels improve arm mobility, reach and propulsion. S-FLEX 2mm thin side panels improve fit and body rotation in the water without sacrificing buoyancy. BUOYANCY + The THERMAL Reaction features a 4-5-4 panel design centralising core buoyancy to raise the position of the hips in relation to the rest of the body. Two 4mm chest panels accent natural lung buoyancy to optimise upper body position relative to the legs. 5mm neoprene supports the hips and lower torso, lifting the body in the water, reducing drag and improving speed. 4mm panels in the lower legs ensure a more efficient kick by keeping the legs on the surface of the water. Femme Fit Unisex isn't good enough. Fit and feel are everything. Just ask the amazing female athletes that helped blueseventy develop their women's specific range. blueseventy obsess over the fine details of all of their women's suits: smaller wrists and ankles, longer zippers to make them easier to get in and out of, and a lowered neckline to provide superior comfort and reduced chafing
Taking its name from a phrase coined by fast-jet military test pilots - (we'll let you research that one) - the BTW Speed Suit has been created purely in the pursuit of speed. Castelli utilised CFD analysis, 3D test mannequins, fabric research and testing, numerous wind tunnel tests, and real-world WorldTour riding, resulting in their most aero suit yet. Dimpled shoulders and sleeves deal with boundary-layer aerodynamics while a smooth body is deployed to reduce skin friction and reduce drag to as little as possible. The 3% saving comes at higher speeds, particularly between the 45-65 km/h range, speeds at which races are won and lost. While comfort wasn't the main focus for the BTW, Castelli still uses highly breathable, full-stretch fabrics. An increase in Lycra® content gives a super-snug fit, albeit with a slight reduction in wicking performance. And it doesn't have the same front opening as the San Remo suit, so pee stops are a bit more challenging. But it's a fast suit, and that's what counts. Progetto X² Air Seat Pad The top-end Progetto X2 Air Seatpad is now better than ever. Castelli has improved the shape of the back and improved the method of stitching it in place. The result is it now sits flatter and offers greater comfort. The X2 retains its awesome ventilating perforations, keeping you cooler and drier on endurance rides. The design allows air and moisture to flow directly to the surface fabric for quick evaporation maintaining dryness. A 3-layer component construction also features two densities of foam plus gel pads to provide progressive damping. A super-soft and stretchy next-to-skin layer, with an antibacterial finish, completes this premium pad.

Short-distance race suit for speed and comfort Endurance Evolution fabric is lightweight but supportive Close-cut top with longer legs Reduced seaming for faster swims Rear envelope pocket stays closed in the water but makes it easy to carry a gel Fleece seat liner smooths out the bike ride but disappears on the run Weight:170g
The Good-at-everything Race Suit The best triathletes are the ones who are good at everything. That's why we put so much into this suit.Let's start in reverse order:Run: At this point in the race, fatigue sets in. You'll love the comfort of this suit. The front Samremo opening construction doesn't pull you forward, and it makes pee stops easier and lets you open it up when you feel too hot. The fabrics are quick drying, light and cool. The seat pad that felt so good on the bike is small enough you hardly feel it. The two rear pockets compress your gels so they don't bounce around. The long legs with Giro4 leg gripper elastic don't ride up and don't bind. Maybe you'll even notice that you don't have as many burning spots where you've been chafed raw. Somehow, you're thinking that comfort gives you an extra push, some extra speed.Bike: You relish these couple of hours to put some distance into the other guys. This suit benefits from the aero research of Castelli's Pro PR suit but is tuned for speeds ranging from medium to high. The legs and sleeves provide excellent coverage while the back gives decent sun protection and the two pockets hold plenty of nutrition. And you appreciate the Castelli know-how in seat pad construction. Put your head down and pass a few more riders.Swim: The reduced seaming and long arms and legs help you cut through the water while the pockets lie flat and don't catch water. The fit is snug and the lightweight fabrics don't hold as much water. The shoulder area is extra stretchy for freedom of movement even under a wetsuit or swimskin.Key Features: Second-generation Sanremo short sleeve suit is faster than ever, Velocity Rev2 main body fabric delivers aerodynamics with excellent fit and moisture management, Back fabric is our Velocity mesh for breathability, yet it blocks 94% of UV rays for significant sun protection (UPF 16), Elbow-length sleeves with raw-cut edges for maximum comfort and aerodynamics, Castelli's Sanremo front opening makes it easier to bend for cycling and straighten out for the run and swim, while also allowing for easier nature breaks or opening up for extra-hot runs, 2 rear pockets lie flat in the swim but allow generous room for nutrition, New short construction fits more securely with more muscle support, Giro4 flat leg grippers on longer legs for maximum aerodynamics, KISS Tri seat pad that provides comfort on the bike and that you almost don't feel during the run, Weight:218 g.
Comfort and speed are two things that triathletes always seek. Being aerodynamic while ensuring ease of movement across triathlon disciplines is something the Castelli Free Sanremo 2 Suit Sleeveless has been designed to do. It provides a performance edge over two-piece tri outfits while offering the same levels of comfort.Its super-light Velocity Rev2 main body fabric ensures a great fit, maximising your freedom of movement when the suit is worn under a wetsuit or swimsuit, while reduced seaming along the legs helps you to cut through water. Meanwhile, the two rear pockets lie flat, facilitating your speed by keeping water out. They are, however, still roomy enough to store plenty of nutrition to perk you up once you start to cycle, while the aerodynamic construction and long legs will help you to build up some serious speed.You’ll also appreciate the highly breathable, cooling Velocity mesh fabric at the back that nonetheless blocks 94% of UV rays as you adopt ride position, not to mention the comfortable KISS Tri seat pad, which is nonetheless thin enough to be barely noticeable during your run. The run is where you’ll most appreciate the muscle support provided by the shorts and the GIRO4 flat leg grippers, which will keep the legs firmly in place as you pound along. The Castelli Sanremo front opening will also come into its own. Its accessible position means you that you will be able to open it part way, to enjoy a cool breeze on warm days or when you’re putting in serious effort, or all the way if you need to relieve yourself.Plus, in the wider context of the race, the front opening makes it easier to bend in comfort during the cycling portion, but still stretch out straight and tall during the swim and run sections. All of these little advantages will add up to make a big difference to you on competition day. Key Features:Now faster than ever!,Velocity Rev2 main body fabric delivers excellent aerodynamics, fit, moisture management,Velocity mesh is breathable yet blocks 94% of UV rays,Armholes constructed to lie flat and promote comfort,Castelli Sanremo front opening,2 roomy but flat pockets,Short construction fits securely with muscle supports,GIRO4 flat leg grippers,KISS Tri seat pad,Weight: 205g (M).

In 2016 we started our aero research project with the Norwegian Technical University in Trondheim. Besides having a couple of brilliant professors and PhD students to come up with ideas and do the basic research, they have a couple of wind tunnels, rapid prototyping capabilities, CFD analysis and a true desire to make fast stuff. The first big success from the research was Team Sky's TT suit that placed four riders in the top eight at the opening Tour de France time trial. Then the UCI made it illegal. So this suit isn't UCI legal (but neither is your bike). It's faster than the pro cyclists' suits and very illegal due to the silicone ribs in the arms. The main body fabric is an impossibly light 50 denier — usually in sports clothing 40 denier is considered ultrafine. The legs and sleeves are long for aerodynamics, while the light fabrics are great for dealing with heat since they're thin enough to not get weighed down, yet the 8% Lycra® content holds a bit of moisture next to your skin for rapid cooling. The insane stretch allows us to make something that truly fits like a second skin on the bike but that doesn't restrict in any way on the swim or run. The PR Speed Suit KISS Tri pad offers some welcome padding while you're on the bike but is thin enough to not bother you on the run. This suit offers real time savings on the bike leg while providing cooling and comfort on the run, but it was made with the expectation of being worn under a swimskin or wetsuit for the swim. It's optimized for high speeds — top age groupers or pro athletes, or anyone looking to set a new PR.
