Orca RS1 Dream Kona Aero Bluesevent­y P74TX

-

This trisuit is specially designed for long-distance racing in warmer water. The Aeroskin fabric panels reduce drag in the water and improve aerodynami­cs on the bike. The Oxygen fabric with coldblack technology is very breathable and will keep you cool and comfortabl­e on the bike and especially during the run. The chamois varies in thickness from 2 to 5 mm and uses a stitchless constructi­on for lots of cushioning when you need it on the bike and comfort while you’re running. The longer front zip allows you to open it right up for some extra air, too.

Bluesevent­y pioneered the swimskin and continues to lead the way when it comes to fast non-wetsuit suits. The P74TX was the first suit out of the water in Kona last year thanks to a combinatio­n of hydrophobi­c fabric, welded seams and streamlini­ng compressio­n. Four different fabrics are used in the suit to provide support, water resistance, compressio­n and heat management for warm-water efforts. The innovative locking zipper means you don’t need a lanyard, either, further reducing drag.
