A little while back we looked at Racing in the Heat, what's important re kit? However as it’s now autumn in AUS we thought we’d now have a look at cooler conditions. Responding to questions like:
- What should I wear for a cool triathlon race?
- What’s important when it comes to kit and racing triathlons in the cold?

Given many long course triathlons take place in warmer parts of the world it’s not surprising that we often get asked questions along the lines of:
- What should I wear for a hot race?
- What’s important when it comes to kit and racing in the heat?

A common question and worth spending a bit of time contemplating. When you think about it they are a critical piece of kit. Not only in regard to performance but also how enjoyable, or not, your tri experience will be. Discomfort, chafing, etc. can all put a pretty big dampener on things. The goal should be to put on your shorts and not think about them again until till you take them off. If so job done.
The aim in writing this is not to try and tell you which are the best tri shorts, but rather provide some thoughts and suggestions re how to go about evaluating and choosing the best triathlon shorts for you. Continue Reading>>>
In both the FUSION triathlon and running range there is a choice of tops and bottoms made from PWR or Compressor3 (Comp3) fabrics. Given these choices we often get questions along the lines of:
- Should I choose PWR or Comp3?

In a nutshell both are technical fabrics with different characteristics and benefits. A short and sharp summary of each fabric is on our Tech page with product descriptions available on individual product pages.
Decided to do a bit of local road testing (Sunshine Coast, Australia), pitting the PWR triathlon shorts and top (TRI PWR SHORTS & TRI TOP) against the Comp3 triathlon shorts and top (MULTISPORT SHORTS & MULTISPORT PRO TOP). Continue Reading>>>
