The Castelli TRI Free Sanremo 2 Suit is a top - notch performance race suit perfect for 70.3 and full - distance triathlon races. It combines speed - enhancing aerodynamics with great comfort and useful pockets to support you throughout the big race.
**A Suit for All Phases of the Race**
The best triathletes excel in every aspect, and this suit is designed accordingly.
- **Run**: When fatigue kicks in during the run, you'll love the suit's comfort. The Samremo front - opening design won't pull you forward, makes pit - stops a breeze, and allows you to open it when you get too hot. The quick - drying, light, and cool fabrics are a dream. The small seat pad that felt great on the bike is barely noticeable now. The two rear pockets hold your gels firmly so they don't bounce. The long legs with Giro4 leg grippers stay in place and don't bind, reducing chafing. You might even find that the comfort gives you an extra speed boost.
- **Bike**: During the cycling part, this suit shines. It benefits from Castelli's aero research from the Pro PR suit, tuned for medium to high speeds. The legs and sleeves offer good coverage, the back provides decent sun protection, and the two pockets can hold plenty of nutrition. Castelli's expertise in seat pad construction ensures a comfortable ride. Put your head down and overtake more riders.
- **Swim**: The reduced seaming, long arms and legs help you glide through the water. The flat - lying pockets don't catch water. The snug fit and lightweight fabrics hold less water, and the extra - stretchy shoulder area allows free movement even under a wetsuit or swimskin.

**How to Use**
- **Swimming**: Put on the suit as you would a regular swimwear. Make sure it fits snugly but not too tight. The long arms and legs should help you move smoothly through the water. The pockets will lie flat, so don't worry about them getting in the way.
- **Cycling**: Once you're on the bike, adjust the seat pad for maximum comfort. The suit's aerodynamic design will help you gain speed, so just focus on pedaling. Use the rear pockets to store your energy gels and other small items.
- **Running**: After the cycling part, start running with the suit on. If you get too hot, you can open the front Samremo opening. The leg grippers will keep the suit in place, and the seat pad won't be a distraction.
**Notes**
- Before using the suit, check for any loose threads or damages. If you find any, contact the seller.
- Make sure to choose the right size according to the size chart. A suit that's too tight can restrict movement, and one that's too loose won't be aerodynamic.
**Maintenance**
- After each use, rinse the suit in cold water to remove salt, chlorine, or sweat. Don't use hot water as it can damage the fabric.
- Gently squeeze out the excess water, but don't wring it. Hang the suit to dry in a shaded area. Avoid direct sunlight as it can fade the colors and damage the fabric.
- If needed, you can machine - wash the suit on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. But it's best to do this sparingly to keep the suit in good condition.
