Hot on the heels of signing a sponsorship agreement with the Federazione Italiana Triathlon (FITRI), TYR Inc is releasing details of its new Carbon apparel collection and its TYR Amp Pad, part of the Carbon line.
The marketing blurb from TYR, introducing the new Carbon line sets the scene…
‘You’ve heard eerie stories about monks on mountaintops who can do things like control their heart rate and respiration. Welcome to their world. Lower your body temperature, decrease your oxygen needs, lower your heart rate, and reduce lactic acid build-up with TYR’s new Carbon line. The Carbon Collection features the new Amp-Pad, a custom design engineered for long, demanding rides and worry-free runs.’
The Carbon apparel range comes in a variety of one piece and two piece options for male and female triathletes. Billed as ‘the future of performance – available now’, the TYR Carbon apparel range makes a number of claims:
• Supernaturally fast drying – even before you’re out of transition
• Its moisture wicking capacity outclasses everything else
• Carbon’s ‘cooling’ capacities lower body temperature
• Provides SPF/UV protection of 50
• Exceptionally strong flat-lock seams
• ITU approved zipper length
• Superior multi directional stretch capacity
• Remains effective over time and repeat washings
The final note from TYR is ‘Oh, and it can help lower your heart rate, reduce your respiration and decrease lactic acid build-up.’
As with the main Carbon apparel range, the TYR Carbon Amp Pad has focused on developing moisture management properties, alongside stretch and cushioning in the middle of the pad for those ‘long day epics’ with an extended time on the saddle.
