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.
A completely new approach for sprint and short distance racing the Castelli Women's SD Team Race Tri Suit has been developed in close collaboration with the German Triathlon Federation (DTU) with aims to design a suit that's ready for any battle on the ITU (International Triathlon Union) circuit. In ITU racing you can't afford to lose valuable seconds in the water due to bad equipment. Therefore high-performance fabrics and optimised patterning for best aerodynamics and comfort on the bike till the finish line offer everything you'd expect from a suit that has to prove suitability on the highest level of pro racing.
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.

The Women's Core Spry-Oly Suit is a triathlon suit designed for shorter triathlon distances such as Olympic and Sprint. Made from Castelli’s Endurance Evolution fabric the tri suit provides optimum muscle support and is quick drying, which is ideal for triathlon as this reduces the chance of chaffing when transitioning from the swim to the cycle. A fleece seat liner replaces a normal tri pad. The fleece provides comfort on the bike but is virtually unnoticeable on the run. Reduced seaming further improves comfort on the run and the swim. An envelope rear pocket provides storage for a gel – likely all that’s needed for such short distances.
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
True Open Water Comfort A combination of thin neoprene and exposed super stretch jersey in the arms, shoulders and back provide excellent movement and reduced restriction. Thicker Yamamoto rubber at the chest and legs gives swimmers the initial confidence and buoyancy they need. No other suit at this price delivers true open water swimming comfort without sacrifices to quality. SUPER COMPOSITE SKIN (SCS) - SCS coating on the legs and arms to provide a protective barrier against fingernails, wetsuit strippers and other enemies of triathlon wetsuits. SUPER STRETCH - Oversized arm gussets featuring super stretch jersey provide excellent flexibility and visibility. LOWERED COLLAR - Over twenty years of wetsuit design experience has made its traditional zipper an industry standard. The curved closure flap reduces rear collar height, improving comfort and reducing chafing. ANATOMICAL LEG CUT - Shaped lower leg super stretch allows quicker exit from the suit. BUOYANCY - Built off a modified version of the popular Fusion suit, the Sprint lifts the lower half of the body in the water improving body position, creating less drag and more speed while conserving energy. FLEXIBILITY - No other entry-level wetsuit features thin 1.5mm Yamamoto high quality neoprene in the arm and arm gussets. Review ''KILLER VALUE'' - Triathlete Magazine The draw: Speed for less The Sprint swims like a much more expensive suit with a comfortable, no-leak neckline, flexible shoulders and excellent rotation. Panels of super-thin neoprene run along the backs of the arms and lats (latissimus dorsi) to give it a fancy, flexy feel. You’ll use a few of the extra seconds you banked in the water to get it off around your wrists and ankles, but it’s worth it for the comfort and speed typically difficult to find at this price.

A Suit That Delivers The upper body has been upgraded with a brand-new jersey liner for unrestrictive reach in the water and, new leg panelling delivers faster transition splits. Add to that a low neckline and VO2 chest panel (panels split with flexible neoprene), and you’ve got a suit that delivers everything you need for training and racing. Technologies and What Makes This the Best Reaction Yet REACTIVE STRETCH TECHNOLOGY (RST) - Further enhanced with ultra-stretch jersey, 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. VO2 CHEST PANEL - A central split chest panel allows greater chest expansion and unimpeded breathing. LOWERED COLLAR - Curved closure flap reduces rear collar height, improving comfort and reducing chafing. Also features an easy-access key loop. QUICK EXIT LEGS - 2mm lower leg panels maximize the flexibility and promotes a quick release from your suit in transition. Taping on the internal seams is reinforced and allows you to cut the leg to a desired length. S-GRIP PANELS - A textured forearm print on our high stretch jersey provides extra feel for the water and additional grip in the propulsion phase of the stroke. AQUASEAL - The 4-way stretch fabric in the silicone cuffs seal the wrists from unwelcome water entry, without catching when removing the suit. BUOYANCY - The Reaction features a 4-5-4 panel design (referring to neoprene thickness), 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 optimize 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. 5mm panels in the back of the hips are orientated to facilitate a raised body position when you roll to the side during breathing. FLEXIBILITY - Highly flexible 100% nylon ultra-stretch jersey is lighter and features 35% improvement in elongation compared to standard jersey. Care and storage Rinse your wetsuit in clean fresh water after each use. Dry inside out, then outside in. Keep away from direct sunlight. Avoid or limit use in chlorinated water.
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
