Then, we are back in France with
the Kiwami brand.
The leading brand of racewear
and trisuit in France founded
by French Hélène Saloman and
Kiwi Craig Watson has one of
the widest and best range on the
market.
I was a lucky sponsored athlete
of the Kiwami team. In a decade,
I’ve been wearing nearly the full
range and I’ve felt the evolution
year after year. This time, I’m
introducing the Rio LD Aero.
CThe Rio LD Aero is one of the many trisuits
offering a sleeve on the arms. The sleeves don’t
move with the help of an elastic band which is to
me a tiny bit too tighted.
On the quads, it’s a silicone band and the result
is perfect.
Kiwami was one of the earliest brand to offer long
sleeves to improve aerodynamism. Innovation
is part of the Kiwami DNA.
The frontal zip is top quality and the protective
flap is hidden under an anti-irritation cover.
The back offer SPF 50 mesh panels which
provide increased aeration and sweat evacuation
at crucial areas. The mesh panels even help with
a « cool effect ».
The big advantage long distance athletes would
appreciate is the 5 ergo pockets :3 at the back
hidden under an aero material and 2 on the legs.
These 2 pockets are perfect to put small gel
bottles or gels.
