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.

Comfort is king during endurance events, the Lava suit has benefited from significant upgrades to fabric used on the upper body to improve breathability, temperature control and freedom of movement.

Just like the Lava Tri Top, we have tried to make these shorts as comfortable and as high-performance as possible. 220 Magazine first tested this two-piece set and gave it a rating of 92% and the ‘Editor’s choice award’, saying that the shorts were "remarkably good on the saddle". Materials have been carefully chosen to offer the best balance between support and comfort.

The Lava Shorts and Top have taken a lot of research and development to get them to where they are today. Racing this distance is no easy task, so we hope that these shorts will help you every step of the way.
