Castelli Free Sanremo 2 Suit Short Sleeve – Electric Lime/niagara Blue 383

The good-at-everything race suit

The best triathletes are the ones who are good at everything. That’s why Castelli put so much into this suit. Let’s start in reverse order:

At this point in the race, fatigue sets in. You’ll love the comfort of this suit. The front Sanremo opening construction doesn’t pull you forward, and it makes pee stops easier and lets you open it up when you feel too hot. The fabrics are quick drying, light and cool. The seat pad that felt so good on the bike is small enough you hardly feel it. The two rear pockets compress your gels so they don’t bounce around. The long legs with GIRO4 leg gripper elastic don’t ride up and don’t bind. Maybe you’ll even notice that you don’t have as many burning spots where you’ve been chafed raw. Somehow, you’re thinking that comfort gives you an extra push, some extra speed.

You relish these couple of hours to put some distance into the other guys. This suit benefits from the aero research of Castelli’s Pro PR suit but is tuned for speeds ranging from medium to high. The legs and sleeves provide excellent coverage while the back gives decent sun protection and the two pockets hold plenty of nutrition. And you appreciate the Castelli know-how in seat pad construction. Put your head down and pass a few more riders.

The reduced seaming and long arms and legs help you cut through the water while the pockets lie flat and don’t catch water. The fit is snug and the lightweight fabrics don’t hold as much water. The shoulder area is extra stretchy for freedom of movement even under a wetsuit or swimskin.
