ROKA GEN 2 ELITE AERO

£225 Points to Roka for producing identical aesthetics across their top-end suits for men and women. But there’s a hitch – one layer of breathable white fabric across the chest doesn’t leave much to the imagination. If this doesn’t bother you, or you plan to wear extra support, then the Elite Aero’s high-end construction delivers. It’s crafted with thermoregulation tech and wind-tunnel -tested fabric, comfy rub-free seams and ‘no-sew’ leg grippers for a super smooth finish. The compressive fit takes work to get into but is very comfy once on (especially with Roka’s added core support), while the low profile – if crudely stitched – chamois moves with the body as claimed for a barely-there feel on the run. The breakaway zipper works well in practice to aid speed, as do the sideloading nutrition pockets. uk.roka.com
