Product highlight: Tri Shorts 5504 and 5501

Our tri shorts are flying off the shelves for good reason. They are very comfortable, contour to your body, dry quickly, have tan anti-bacterial pad to keep you comfortable on the bike and the run, have a "no-bounce" pocket in the back, and they are very durable. Many of our customers claim the skinfit tri shorts are the most comfortable shorts they have ever worn and well worth the $89!
They come in two styles: The 5504 has a reflective "skinfit" print down the sidepanel and the 5501 maintains a more classic look with a smaller skinfit logo placed on the bottom of the shorts (See images below). The 5504 also comes in all-white for all of you heading to Kona, any other hot races, or if you just want to make a statement!




You can order these shorts through our webshop or by emailing us directly at skinfit.usa@skinfit.eu
The race season is in full-effect so make sure to get your orders in quickly! Have a good week everyone and keep living the Skinfit Lifestyle!

Last weekend....

Last weekend proved to be quite a success for Skinfit. We were up at Wildflower making sales, meeting people, and generally having a good time bringing our brand to the triathlon community. Plus, we got to support a great cause, Jenny's Light, which is a charity that was created by Becky Lavelle.

On the racing side of things we had two Skinfit athletes podium at the first Xterra Cup race of the series in Las Vegas. Lesley Paterson was 3rd and Christine Jeffrey was 5th...congrats ladies!

A host of other Skinfit loyalists/teams raced up at Wildflower and did very well...team Ascent based up in Los Gatos, Monterey Bay Multisport, and The Stanford Triathlon Team had a great showing for Skinfit.
We can't thank our athletes enough for their support and hard work. We look forward to future events and more stellar results.

Keep living the Skinfit lifestyle!

Team Skinfit in full-effect this weekend (and Monday)...

Team Skinfit was racing like crazy this weekend up at Sea Otter, at the Boston Marathon, and at collegiate nationals! The short of it is that Skinfit was well represented by James Walsh, Trevor Glavin, Reto Waeffler and the Stanford Triathlon Team. Everyone had solid races and proved that the Skinfit lifestyle is alive and kicking!

Trevor did three races at Sea Otter...the crit, circuit race, and cross-country. The road races were purely training and they proved to be nice and hard, which was what he was looking for. The cross-country race was brutal (38 miles, nearly 3 hrs, and HOT!) He managed 6th place in a tough field. James did the cross-country as well and got 10th. Not bad getting two Skinfit riders in the top 10 at a race as big as Sea Otter. The effects of the hard race are still being felt for sure!!!

Reto knocked out the Boston Marathon. He was on goal pace (2:38) until about mile 21 and had to slow a bit over the final 5 miles but still ran 2:47. Not bad considering it is only his second marathon and he only trained for 12 weeks. Something tells me he will crack 2:40 no problem on the next go =)



The Stanford Triathlon Team was in Texas racing 2009 collegiate nationals. The team placed 9th in the nation! Incredibly, five out of eight athletes that scored in the team competition are in their first triathlon season, which shows a lot of promise for the future. Plus, they all had fun and sported the skinfit aero shirts all weekend from the event, to awards, to the post race grub at Rudy's BBQ!
Here is a link to results.


So, some very solid results over the past few days! There is plenty more racing to come this season so stay tuned.

Keep living the Skinfit lifestyle!

Product highlight...Aero running tops

Looking for the most comfortable and functional running top on the market? Then you HAVE to try our Aero product line!


The Aero product line is a Skinfit classic. We have improved the existing aero fabric with a knitting process that combines two specialized fibers into a dual- sided fabric. The fibers are the latest high-tech innovation in the market. For the inside layer, we use Meryl Skinlife, a fiber that features integrated silver ions, which maintain an optimum natural Ph-balance to prevent bacteria growth, the cause of odor. For the outer layer, we use the fast-drying hollow fiber Meryl Nexten. Skinfit Aero is light and dry even when wet. The fabric is wind-resistant, which makes it an ideal partner for any climate. The ergonomic cut ensures perfect moisture transfer and functionality. Aero products are suited for training and competition. Aero can be worn as the outer layer or, on colder days, as an optimum intermediate layer. We use more expensive and advanced polyblend fibers (as opposed to using 100% polyester) to create a fabric that offers incredible comfort and performance.



Aero features:

-wind-resistant
-extremely elastic
-prevents bacteria growth and thus ensures neutral smell thanks to special fibers with integrated silver ions
-for competition and training
-soft and comfortable

You can order an aero shirt through our webshop (click on "webshop" and you will be linked directly to the aero shirt page) and it will be on your doorstep in a matter of days!
