Huub Essential Tri Suit
The HUUB Essential Long Course Triathlon Suit has been designed to meet the needs of every triathlete.
Constructed using a lightweight, quick-drying fabrication, the Huub Essential Tri Suit keeps you comfortable at all times. The quick-drying fabrication works to keep you cool, dry and comfortable at all times by wicking excess moisture and sweat away from the skin. Straight from the water, this fabrication works to ensure quick drying times so you can get on with the next stage. Nylon Lycra panels have been used to provide great form and an aerodynamic fit. The nylon fabrication is super stretchy and non-restrictive because your clothing choice should never inhibit your natural motion. Mesh panels have also been used on the back of the suit to allow cool air to flow throughout the garment whilst, at the same time allowing hot, humid air to escape.
A lightweight fleece pad lining provides added comfort and protection on the bike plus, it also offers fantastic moisture displacement following a swim. The long sleeves offer a shoulder and upper arm UV protection for longer distance racing whilst a full zip can be used to control the temperature. In colder climates, it can be worn up to seal in heat or, when the temperature begins to rise it can be worn down to release an intolerable heat build up. Leg gripper have also been used on the suit to ensure a stay-put fit. Completing the Essential Tri Suit are rear pockets which provide ample storage space for your essential items.
If you have sharp nails, wearing gloves is recommended to prevent them from snagging on the material and potentially causing damage to it. Specially designed to keep you comfortable, protected and enhanced in open water, the construction and feel of the tri suit will mean that no outdoor water is a barrier. HUUB recommends that if you are on the border of two different sizes, going a size up rather than down would result in a better fit. It is vitally important to get a close fitting tri suit. Once you have an optimally fitted wetsuit on it feels like a second skin which is what makes it so effective when you are in the water. But with a garment that fits so tightly, the challenge is in how to get it on without damaging the suit or chafing or trapping your skin. Adjusting the suit to fit your body comfortably so that it doesn't cause discomfort whilst you are swimming also needs a little practice.
