The attractively patterned Castelli Sanremo Ultra Women's Speed Suit blends the aero shorts of the PR 2 Speed Suit with the top half of the Free Sanremo Suit, combining cutting edge aero technology with race day comfort.
Made for use in 70.3 and full-distance races, it benefits from the exhaustive CFD and wind tunnel testing performed while developing the PR 2. The practically seamless shorts, with their knee length legs and raw cut endings, produce very little drag as you race.
Benefits gleaned from the Free Sanremo Suit, meanwhile, include enhanced aerodynamics in the form of a close overall fit and elbow-length, raw cut sleeves, along with the suit’s trademark opening that gives you the freedom to adopt an extreme position for the bike leg, while remaining comfortable during the upright swim and run legs. It furthermore lets you vent the suit mid-race.
The mesh fabric at the back of the upper is breathable enough to keep you cool, while still offering UPF16 sun protection. Other useful features include Castelli’s specialised KISS Tri seat pad, which cushions your bike ride while remaining slender enough to be forgotten during the run and swim, and two small, side opening pockets that offer ample room for a couple of gels.
In other words, this suit does all it can to deliver marginal gains, without being so pared back that you lose features that will your life easier on race day.
