BIORACER TEAM

£99 Bioracer say their Team suit is suitable for any distance, and with a big pocket stretching across the lower back there’s plenty of storage, even if you can’t divide supplies separately. It’s close-fitting, yet stretchy enough to suit stronger builds. We found things quite tight across the chest, but not overly restrictive. The legs are made from ‘Aquaracer’ fabric with a hydrophobic treatment – said to dry 40% faster than standard Lycra – and we found it dried quickly after a sea swim. The large silicone grippers also hugged our thighs perfectly. The top half is made with Bioracer’s ‘Tri Force Lycra’, with a quality YKK zipper. Underneath the red-checked pattern the black Lycra is a little thin, but you’ll appreciate the breathability. As for value, the Team hits the sweet spot: it’s practical, features quality, technical fabrics and won’t break the bank. bioracer.co.uk
