The Tri Shorts

Just like the Lapa Trip Top we have tried to make these shorts as comfortable and as high performance as possible. 220 magazine first tested this two piece set and gave it a rating 92% and the ‘Editor’s choice award’ saying that the shorts were “Remarkably good on the saddle.” Materials have been carefully chosen to offer the best balance between support and comfort.

The Lava Shorts and Top have taken a lot of research and development to get them to where they are today. Racing this distance is no easy task so we hope that these shorts will help you every step of the way. Full suits also available it preferred to separates.

FABRICS:

Sensory- An extremely smooth and soft fabric that feels fantastic against the skin, it provides extra support and compression on the legs together with a full water repellent coating. The fabric is highly breathable and sweat wicking, while the 360° stretch ensured total freedom, of movement.

Integrated leg grippers: Premium Italian design utilising natural gold fibres for improved comfort. This extended panel is bonded for optimum fir and drag resistance. The grippers keep the legs in place on the bike and run and without an extra sea seen on most Tri suits. This fabric is also highly breathable, moves moisture and is comfortable next to the body which allows a great fit.

Features:

• Super snug waistband- A 3.5cm elastic waistband has been added to the shorts for an extremely comfortable and supportive fit.
  
• Balanced compression is provided through the legs that’s to a carefully designed panel shape and the high denier rating of the sensory fabric. This improves muscle support and helps to increase the blood flow away from the legs, therefore reducing the amount of lactic acid build up and helping to improve your endurance and stamina.
  
• Brand new Tri Comp Pad.
  
• Designed to sit slightly higher on the waist then a normal Trip Short to ensure coverage on the back whilst in the Aero position.
  
• Nutrition storage rear pocket: Also, a new rear zipped pocket for values or nutrition which need a more secure fit during the swim and can be eaten on the way to T1.
  
• Construction: Utilising heat bonding, flat-lock stitching and closed stitching to find the perfect balance between comfort and speed.
