When you commit to IM distance events and beyond, you need to know that your kit supplier is as committed as you are. Over those distances you will feel every imperfection, snap decision and cost saving that a brand has made.
The multi award-winning Lava collection has been ZONE3’s endurance staple since it was launched in 2013 and we have continued researching and developing it ever since. Now a fully-fledged collection of male and female suits and separates, we have sourced the very best Italian and French materials to repel water, optimise aerodynamics and enhance comfort.
Tested in the velodrome and approved internationally by our elite athletes in 2019, the Lava suit combines advanced aerodynamic panels, with water repellent coatings and drag resistant finishing to be our fastest ever Lava endurance suit.
The suit offers all over comfort combined with performance during all three disciplines. If you're taking on a long-distance race this season, then we hope this will be the perfect suit.

FABRICS
AERO-STRIPE– An innovative striped material from Italy is located on the raglan sleeves to improve aerodynamics. This UPF-50 textured material creates turbulence across the key boundary layers during high speeds on the bike, reducing drag and improving race times.
Aeroforce Soft-Touch - A revolutionary French woven fabric is used on the main front and back panels and is extremely comfortable against the skin and technically advanced. It is one of the most expensive performance fabrics on the market, but once you have tried it you will understand why.
Key benefits include:
• Extremely breathable and sweat wicking for optimum temperature control.
• Incredibly lightweight and quick drying while still being durable and offering a 50+ UPF protection
• 360° stretch for total freedom of movement.
• A high-tech Nano water repellent coating reduces drag resistance in and out of the water. Improving your swim time, repelling sweat and keeping you drier and warmer if it rains.
Sensory: An extremely smooth and soft fabric that feels fantastic against the skin, it provides extra support and compression on the legs together with a full water repellent coating. The fabric is highly breathable and sweat wicking, while the 360º stretch ensures total freedom of movement.
Integrated leg grippers: Premium Italian design utilising natural gold fibres for improved comfort. This extended panel is bonded for optimum fit and drag resistance. The grippers keep the legs in place on the bike and run and without an extra seam seen on most Tri suits. This fabric is also highly breathable, moves moisture and is comfortable next to the body which allows a great fit.
PERFORMANCE:
1. Each fabric carefully chosen and positioned to improve performance, comfort and endurance.
2. Full front zip – This feature allows the suits to be put on and taken off more easily and quickly. Crucial for making quick toilet breaks during a race; also allowing full torso ventilation during very warm conditions.
3. Balanced Compression is provided through the legs thanks to a carefully designed panel shape and the high denier rating of the Sensory fabric. This improves muscle support and helps to increase the blood flow away from the legs, therefore reducing the amount of lactic acid build up and helping to improve endurance and stamina.
4. Brand new Tri Comp Pad.
5. Heat Bonded Sleeves – For optimum fit and comfort and reduced drag compared to stitching.
6. Comfort fit design throughout the body allowing you to maximise performance across the swim, bike and run.
7. Optical white colour used on the majority of the top to help reflect the sun’s heat.
8. Nutrition storage pockets: located on the back and designed with a heat bonded cover to allow gels to be stored and make it easy to access while on the bike or run.
9. Construction: Utilising heat bonding, flat-lock stitching and closed stitching to find the perfect balance between comfort and speed.

"First impressions are excellent but we will see how will the tri suit be in a few more wears. Im 191cm and 90kg and XL fits great."
— Ivo B. (5/5)
"Purchased size small based on sizing chart. I am 5’9”, 142 lbs. , with 30” waist, and 37” chest. Legs, waist, and abdomen fit was great. Upper chest, shoulders, and biceps pretty tight. Waiting for race to start felt uncomfortable but during event did not notice upper body tightness of suit."
— Doug W. (5/5)
"Fits very well, good mobility and comfort. Keeps body at a steady temperature."
— Liam O. (5/5)
"Suit looks great and feels like it would be rapid! Bit pinchy on my armpits so not for me sadly but I'd definitely give this a go as if it fits well, youre onto a winner!"
— Sam C. (4/5)
"Let’s be honest - this is an expensive trisuit!!! But the cost was worth it, I didn’t even notice it during my first race. The comfort was excellent, with the pad being comfortable for both the bike and running. The way the jersey (top half) integrates with the shorts is great. It’s super easy to open to get extra cooling across your chest and (as a guy) great for that last minute nervous number 1. The arms were close fitting but not restrictive, and comfortable on the run. Size wise, I am 6ft, 87kg and quite broad. The large fitted great."
— Scott T. (5/5)
"Worn today for the first time in a tri race and it is a great piece of kit. Perfect fit for me - didn’t shift and rub as I’ve had with other tri suits The padded would be ideal in a longer race / ride imo"
— Raza B. (5/5)
"Excellent Tri suit worn for an Ironman distance race. Larger than usual chammy pad was very comfortable on the bike but unobstrusive on the run. I’d also be happy to wear this in sprint and standard races."
— Mike R. (5/5)
"A little tight under the arms but in general a good fit and very good quality, the pad is vary thin but somehow more comfortable than thicker pads in my cycling shorts."
