Lava Aero ¾ Sleeve Warmth Top
ZONE3's key considerations when crafting this top were:

Achieving an aerodynamic, women's-specific fit.
Ensuring comfort against the skin.
Using functional fabric for optimal temperature control.
Providing convenient access to pockets for nutrition.
Incorporating UV protection.

The Aero Top is a versatile addition to your gear collection. Race conditions can shift rapidly, especially with more long-course triathlons happening earlier and later in the season. This top is tailored to help you face the elements. Featuring 3/4 length sleeves and slightly thicker fabric compared to the rest of the Lava range, it boasts unique properties that make it suitable for warm weather races and ideal as an extra layer or standalone garment in cooler or wet conditions.
The Fabric:

Constructed from ZONE3's Sensory Fabric, this top excels in multiple aspects:
Remarkably smooth and soft to the touch, providing a delightful sensation against the skin—an essential feature for enduring long events.
Highly breathable and moisture-wicking, ensuring precise temperature control. In warm conditions, the fabric helps keep you cool, especially when wet. In cooler conditions, it works to retain body warmth while maintaining aerodynamic efficiency.
Offering 360° stretch, this fabric provides unrestricted movement and exceptional comfort.
The optical white color assists in reflecting the sun's heat and delivers excellent UPF protection.

The Fit:

Aerodynamic Fit: The panel design minimizes seams, with a higher front and lower back for optimal comfort and coverage when in the aero position. ZONE3 recommend putting it on during T1 rather than wearing it during the swim.
Nutrition Storage: The top features generously sized back pockets, maximizing storage for nutrition and ensuring easy access while cycling or running.
Full Front Zipper: This zipper facilitates easy donning and doffing and allows for added airflow and ventilation when needed.
