Sanremo Tri Suits – A new era in triathlon clothing

By Steve Smith · On May 3, 2014

One or two piece? Nearly every triathlete has debated this question.
Probably 98% of the men at Kona raced in two piece suits, but Frederik Van Lierde won in a Castelli Free one piece suit.
Usually it’s a trade-off between aerodynamics and the convenience of being able to heed the call of nature. Castelli’s Sanremo construction brings the best of both worlds.
It’s a one piece suit, but is only joined at the waist on the back and sides. The front is an overlap design with a full length YKK® camlock zipper. You get the smooth fit of a one piece, with the convenience of a two piece. The Sanremo construction was initially developed for Team Garmin for professional road racing and brought improved aerodynamics and comfort for cycling. It’s even more appropriate for triathlon.

Of course the triathlon versions of our Sanremo suits come with a tri specific seat pad.
The Kiss Tri pad is exceptionally comfortable on the bike and supportive but non-restrictive on the run.
The overall concept of our Sanremo triathlon suits is rounded out by carefully designed and clever placed pockets. The special construction causes nearly zero extra drag during the swim and on the bike. These high capacity aero pockets are nearly invisible to the wind or water, yet have enough capacity for a vest and arm warmers plus nutrition should race day turn cold.

The Sanremo construction is available in one piece men’s suits in both BodyPaint and Free level products, both sleeveless or the more aerodynamic short sleeve construction.
