Zone3 Lava Long Distance Triathlon Suit for Women, Black/White Zone3

Lava Long Distance Tri-Suit with Zipper and Short Sleeves

When competing in IM-distance events and beyond, you need to know that your equipment provider is just as committed as you are. Over these distances, you’ll feel every imperfection, every hasty decision, and every cost-cutting measure a brand makes.

The award-winning Lava collection has been ZONE3’s flagship endurance line since its launch in 2013, and the brand has continued to refine it. Today, this comprehensive collection of wetsuits and apparel for men and women is crafted from the finest Italian and French materials for optimal waterproofing, aerodynamics, and comfort.

Tested on the velodrome and internationally approved by the brand’s elite athletes in 2019, the Lava wetsuit combines advanced aerodynamic panels with water-repellent coatings and a drag-resistant finish to be the fastest Lava endurance wetsuit ever designed.

This suit combines all-around comfort and performance across all three disciplines. If you’re competing in a long-distance race this season, Zone3 hopes this will be the perfect choice.

FABRICS

Aerodynamic Stripe An innovative striped fabric of Italian origin is integrated into the raglan sleeves and upper back to optimize aerodynamics. This textured fabric, offering UPF 50 protection, creates turbulence at the primary airflow boundaries during high-speed cycling, thereby reducing drag and improving race times.

Aeroforce Soft-Touch A revolutionary fabric woven in France is used for the main front and back panels. Extremely soft against the skin and technically high-performance, it ranks among the most expensive technical fabrics on the market. But once you try it, you’ll understand why.

The main benefits are as follows:

• Extremely breathable and moisture-wicking for optimal temperature regulation.
• Incredibly lightweight and quick-drying, yet durable and offering UPF 50+ protection
• 360° stretch for total freedom of movement.
• A high-tech nanotechnology water-repellent coating reduces water resistance, both in the water and on the surface. It improves your swim time, wicks away sweat, and keeps you dry and warm in the rain.
• Sensory This extremely soft and silky fabric feels fantastic against the skin, while providing optimal support and compression for the legs, thanks to its full water-repellent coating. Highly breathable and moisture-wicking, it guarantees total freedom of movement thanks to its 360° stretch.
• Integrated leg support panels High-end Italian design using natural gold fibers for enhanced comfort. This elongated panel is bonded for an optimal fit and maximum tensile strength. The support bands ensure perfect leg support while cycling and running, without additional seams, unlike most triathlon suits. This fabric is also highly breathable, wicks away moisture, and offers optimal comfort against the skin, ensuring a perfect fit.

PERFORMANCE

• Each fabric has been carefully selected and positioned to enhance performance, comfort, and endurance.
• Balanced compression. Support is provided in the legs thanks to a thoughtful panel design and the high density of the Sensory fabric. This improves muscle support and promotes blood circulation, thereby reducing lactic acid buildup and helping to improve endurance.
• Women’s triathlon pad.
• Heat-sealed seams—for optimal fit and comfort and reduced friction compared to traditional seams.
• A comfortable full-body fit that helps you maximize your performance in swimming, cycling, and running.
• Stylish prints: So you look your best on race day and feel ready to take on the challenge.
• Sleek flat seams: designed for maximum durability and minimal skin irritation.
• Storage pockets for energy bars: Located on the back and featuring a heat-sealed lining, they allow you to store gels and access them easily while cycling or running.
• Construction: Features heat-sealed seams, flatlock seams, and sealed seams to strike the perfect balance between comfort and speed.
• Full zipper protection: Soft fabrics line the inside of the zipper and are paired with a flap to minimize any discomfort caused by the zipper at the chest.
