INTRODUCTION

ZONE3's award-winning Lava collection was launched in 2013 and is designed specifically with long distance athletes in mind. The top and shorts won the Triathlon 220 Magazine Editor’s choice award with a 92% rating and the range has been a massive success with Ironman athletes racing all over the world.

Thanks to the popularity of the range, new products have been added and even further research and development has been conducted to ensure maximum performance and comfort. The garment you wear in an Ironman event can significantly affect your performance and therefore this range is designed to be lightweight, super- comfortable, exceptionally breathable, supportive and functional. New fabrics and features make the latest Lava collection an absolute must-have for anybody racing in long distance events.

The Lava suit has benefitted from a significant upgrade to fabric used on the upper body which ensures that it offers maximum breathability, temperature control and freedom of movement. This combined with a supportive compression fabric used on the lower body makes for an extremely high performance garment. Further attention to detail has then been added to make the suit more comfortable, crucial over the longer distances.

The key features include:

FABRICS:

Aeroforce Soft-Touch - A revolutionary French woven fabric is used on the main front and back panels and is extremely comfortable against the skin and technically advanced. It is one of the most expensive performance fabrics on the market, but once you have tried it you will understand why.

Key benefits include:

Extremely breathable and sweat-wicking for optimum temperature control.
Incredibly lightweight and quick drying whilst still being durable and offering a high level of UV protection
360° stretch for total freedom of movement.
A high-tech water repellent coating for drag resistance both in and out of the water and which repels sweat while on the go. Also, a very useful feature if it rains on the bike section, helping to keep you drier and warmer.
This market-leading fabric is used by a very high proportion of pro athletes. Comfort is crucial during a long-distance race and as soon as you feel this fabric against your skin you'll understand why it is a key feature in the Lava range. This fabric is used on the main front and back panels.

Sensory - ZONE3's Sensory fabric helps to mimic the Aeroforce Soft-Touch fabric and has an extremely smooth and soft feel together with a full water repellent coating. It also benefits from a reflective coating to help protect you from the sun. This fabric is used on the side and back of leg panels.

Aquaflo - The award-winning Aquaflo fabric is also used for extra support and compression on the front legs.

PERFORMANCE:

1.       Each fabric carefully chosen and positioned to improve performance, comfort and endurance.

2.       Balanced Compression is provided through the legs thanks to a carefully designed panel shape and the high denier rating of the Aquaflo fabric. This improves muscle support and helps to enhance blood flow away from the legs, therefore reducing lactic acid build-up and helping to improve endurance and stamina.

3.       Brand new ‘Iron Performance’ pad: Designed by Cytech, one of the world’s leading pad manufacturers in Italy. Probably one of the most important aspects of racing this distance is being comfortable on your bike's saddle. Perforated pad lamination delivers supreme breathability and quick drying capabilities. The high density foam gives more padding and protection when cycling and the central channelling in the perinea area is designed to offset pressure points. The high level of elasticity in the pad also maximises freedom of movement when swimming and running. It has been described by 220 Magazine as being "remarkably good on the saddle".

4.       Nutrition storage on each side of the legs and big pockets on the back let you stock up on nutrition and make it easy to access while on the bike or running.

5.       Premium Italian leg grippers – New, ultra-soft wide grippers give even pressure distribution and added comfort over silicone-style grippers. These are stitched to the bottom of the leg material rather than inside to create a more comfortable fit and do a fantastic job of preventing any movement during the cycle and run.

6.       Comfort fit design throughout the body and neck, together with slightly wider shoulder panels for increased protection from the sun.

7.       Optical white colour used on the majority of the top to help reflect the sun’s heat.

8.       Elastic Technology and binding gives a snug fit without any discomfort around the arms and neck lines. Also, new seam construction to prevent any chafing under the arm.

9. Stylish Flat locked stitching: Designed for maximum strength and minimum discomfort against the skin.

10. Front semi-auto lock zipper for extra ventilation during the cycle or run.

11. Total Zip protection: Soft fabrics cover the inside of the zipper and this is combined with a 'fold over' cover to minimise any discomfort from the zip on the chest.

The suit offers all-over comfort combined with performance during all three disciplines. If you're taking on a long-distance race this season its makers claim this will be the perfect suit. Please also see ZONE3's Aero suit option with short sleeves and its top and short separates.
