Chillout, Aeromax or fleece?
- Chillout: the fabric of the LTD and Core tops, 90% polyester and 10% spandex at 140 g/m². The xylitol print reacts with moisture and air to create a cooling effect.
- Aeromax: the Italian fabric of the Elite Run Singlet and Elite Run Tee, tight-knit and high-stretch, and particularly light at 115 g/m².
- Fleece and brushed fabrics: in the half zips. The Hallocore version also has a water-repellent outer layer, and the Thermo Shield has fabric against wind and water on the front and shoulders.
Which size should you choose?
LTD and Elite are cut in a race fit and sit close to the body. If you want a less compressive feel or are between sizes, go one size up. The Core models have a slightly more relaxed athletic fit.
