When developing our NeoPro Tri suits - our Triathletes told us 2 things: You NEED sun protection on the back & sleeves, and NEED ventilation on the front - especially given the hot weather we endure almost year round in Australia!
To achieve this we used 77% Polyester & 23% Spandex Fabric on the front which is presented in a mesh-like breathable fabric.
On the rear & sleeves we opted for 88% Polyester & 12% Spandex fabric - super stretchy, super durable and the best of all - a UPF rating of 40.
We know things can get a little tight sometimes - had a couple beers in Iso? Eaten too much pudding? We got you. We know you still want to ride and don't want to replace your whole kit wardrobe.
We use top quality YKK Zippers that don't pop under pressure. YKK is the biggest zip manufacturer in the world, so we know the quality is up to our high standards.
Some people like longer sleeves for the extra sun protection, some argue it's more aero and streamline and some just use them because they are cool.
Whatever your reason, we increased the length of our sleeves to come just below the bicep head but not quite in the elbow ditch. At the end of the sleeve we have a Silicone gripper to stop it slipping up when swimming.
