Zone3 Men’s Lava Aero Top Review

• Zone3’s priorities when designing this top were: Aero-dynamical Comfort next to the skin Functional fabric with optimum temperature control Easy access to pockets for nutrition UV protection The Aero Top is a very useful piece of kit to have in the locker. Event conditions can change quickly and with more Ironman events taking place earlier and later in the season this top is designed to help you brave the elements. With longh sleeves and slightly thicker fabric than the rest of the Lava range this top offers some unique properties which makes it suitable for warm weather races but also perfect as an extra layer or worn by itself in cooler or wet conditions. THE FABRIC:  The top is made from Zone3’s Sensory Fabric which is effective in a number of ways: The fabric is extremely smooth and soft to touch meaning it feels fantastic next to the skin, exactly what you would want for such a long event. It is also highly breathable and sweat wicking for optimum temperature control. In warmer conditions the fabric will work to keep you cool, especially when wet. In cooler conditions, it works to maintain body warmth whilst still ensuring aerodynamics. We would recommend the Lava Tri Top for hot conditions, the Aero Top for temperate or changeable conditions and a combination of the Lava Tri suit or Tri Top with the Aero Top as the outer layer for cool conditions. The fabric offers 360o stretch for total freedom of movement and comfort. The optical white colour helps reflect the suns heat and offers high UPF protection. THE FIT:  The fit is designed to keep the body as aerodynamic as possible. The panel design uses minimal amount of seams and the front is higher and the back is lower, allowing for optimum comfort and coverage when in the aero position. The tight fit makes it suitable to be worn underneath the wetsuit during a swim, otherwise Zone3 would recommend putting it on in T1 if it is a non-wetsuit swim  Nutrition storage is maximised with big pockets on the back to stock up on nutrition and make it easy to access whilst on the bike or run.  A full front zipper allows extra airflow and ventilation if required. Designed to go with the Lava Tri Shorts, this set will get you from the start to finish in the best time possible and help control your body temperature at the same time.

There are several key considerations that we like you to think about when buying any product, these are designed to help you to get the most of your money and also to help you find the very best products from a number of options available. Our first piece of advice is to check out the key features of Zone3 Men’s Lava Aero Top to ascertain what it is about it that stands out from the competition. We also recommend that you spend a bit of time comparing Zone3 Men’s Lava Aero Top to other products from Zone3 to see how it stacks up against similar products.

Then when you have spent the time looking at some of the key features, we suggest that you write yourself a list of things that your Tri Tops product must have. These ‘must haves’ can vary from specific features that you’re looking for, or it may be that you’re only willing to buy from a retailer like Wiggle Online Cycle Shop or perhaps you only want a brand such as Zone3. This list will really prove useful when you come to narrowing down your choices and ultimately whether you decide to buy Zone3 Men‚Äôs Lava Aero Top or an alternative option. We can’t stress this enough, once you have written your list, stick to it. So often we’re tempted by a good deal and end up straying away from the criteria that we set ourselves, which can mean we end up spending more, or buying a product that isn’t actually fit for the purpose we originally intended.
