SLS3, a specialist in apparel, compression and accessories for endurance athletes has confirmed the formation of Team SLS3 for the 2017 race year. This builds on the 2016 outing for the Team SLS3, whereby members of the team ‘join an elite community of triathletes and runners as they compete at all skill levels’.
To become a member of Team SLS3 athletes must meet the following criteria:
- Live in the United States.
- Commit to a tentative race calendar for the 2017 season, with at least six sanctioned events.
- E-mail travis[at]slstri.com.
- Submit a race resume with all past results.
- Complete the application process by 31 December 2016.
Team selection is not limited only to professional athletes. Team SLS3 adds that it ‘wants to show the world the value of an active lifestyle, and that beginners can benefit just as much from the right compression gear as the pros’.
For 2017 SLS3 will have its team members pick and choose gear at ‘highly discounted prices based on their personal needs’.
During next year’s race season, team members can compete in events all over the world. Team members will promote Team SLS3 via social media through the publication of photos from races, and the submission of all race results. In public, team members act as ambassadors for the brand, while spreading a positive message about the benefits of racing and competition.
SLS3 was founded in 2007 by pro-triathletes Sebastian and Sylvie Linke. The company notes that its team dedicates time and effort to ‘offering top-notch professional sports gear, designed to keep up with the athletes day and night’. The company also works to maintain responsible business practices and a small carbon footprint.
