Born Bound

"... where Born Bound have excelled is combining all that aero performance with enough comfort and durability for amateur triathletes to wear the Skärvatten Pro tri suit for long distance racing. I’ve tested this suit out, and the chamois pad is super comfortable. The silky smooth, ultra-stretchy fabric is breathable enough to keep your core temperature down. And while this certainly isn’t a ‘budget’ tri suit by any stretch of the imagination, you are getting a strong amount of performance for the price tag."

"Out of the box, the Skärvatten Pro LD offers far more than its good looks, with the lengthy legs and dimpled, laser-cut arm sleeves offering aero potential... Unlike plenty of pads in this test, I would happily race Ironman in the wide and well-padded option here, yet it didn’t cause me any hassle on the run either. The end result is an ultra-stylish suit that’s very, very hard to fault, and from a brand with a serious eco ethos."

"The Born Bound Skärvatten Pro tri suit puts performance front and centre, without cutting corners on comfort or durability. Rigorous testing as part of pro triathlete Kieran Lindars’ 30 watts project suggests this suit will be fast on the bike, saving Lindars 14 watts. You’d be hard pressed to find a more cost effective way of saving watts."
