A Sum of Its Parts:

We are really excited about the features of our triathlon kits. Each one is designed with a long-distance woman in mind and addresses a problem the both of us have encountered many times.

Let's discuss:

1. Longer Flared Tanks - So many tri tops are very short and unless you are one of the 2% with washboard abs and the confidence to show them off, this cut is not flattering. The hemline of our top dips over the waistband of the short to ensure coverage and eliminates the chance of a racing strip sunburned into your lower back as you are bent over the aerobars. It flares ever so slightly to accommodate a woman's hips to prevent that window shade roll-up effect of straight-down tanks.
2. Elastic-Free Waistbands - Complimentary to the above item, we have designed the waistband of our shorts without restrictive and unflattering elastic. But it is still snug enough to stay up, even when soaking wet. Yes, SOAS has banned the muffin top! 
3. 5-Pocket System - Ever lose your chapstick in your jersey pocket because it is stuck under your rolled-up jacket? Have you ever launched your gel trying to extract it from under a water bottle stashed in your back pocket? Well, paired together, our shorts and tank offer a system of five pockets so you can organize large and small items. Two deep rear pockets on the tank are large enough to hold water bottles or arm warmers. Three shallow pockets on the shorts give you a place to stash your smaller items (chapstick, salt tabs) so they won't get lost. Placing them on the rear of the garment ensures optimum aerodynamics.
4. Single-Layer Fleece Pad - Despite popular belief, our research shows that a thinner pad means less friction and discomfort "down there" during and after a long ride.
5. Chafing Prevention - We use soft fluff thread and rub-reducing stitching. Seams are strategically placed outside of rub-zones.  Also, we only use heat transfers for logos and garment information so there are no scratchy tags.
6. Compression Bra - Our bra cups are made of compression spandex that maximizes support while the rest of the bra is made of super-soft, breathable mesh. Chances are, you won't have to double bag (read: wear an additional sports bra).
7. Mesh Rear Panel - The tank back is made of breathable mesh to allow maximum core cooling.
8. UV-Protection - the fabric of our kits has built-in UV protection in the fibers.
9. Anti-Microbial - Our fabric is anti-microbial and wicking so even when you have a long drive home after an epic ride, you won't have to worry.
10. Stylish - Perhaps the most important feature? We have classic and cool designs that make you look good while sweating. What's not to like?
