Zoot Performance CompressRx
With Zoot’s CompressRx Calf Sleeves having scored extremely highly in our calf guards grouptest last issue, we expected great things of their equivalent tights. The hefty price tag of £150 further raised our expectation bar. But getting the tights on is quite a task. Having been warned by the website to be gentle, it’s an […]
Zoot Energy 3.0
Zoot entered the tri market in the mid-Eighties with a host of innovative products. And judging by its latest Energy 3.0, it won’t be long until it makes its mark in the running market, too. The Energy is a cushioned, neutral, high miler and although Zoot offers lighter shoes, these are still very light. The […]
Zoot Ultra CompressRX
Coming in as the most expensive guards on test is always a tough gig, but the Zoots shared a lot in terms of feel and design with the Compressport entry. They also replicated many of the plus points, including a really graduated and compressive fit, no excessive tightness at the cuffs and durability. Although they […]
Zoot ULTRA Tri Racesuit
Smart design features, as to be expected from a top-end triathlon suit
Zoot Advantage
Although most of us roll our feet inwards (pronate) when we run longer races, super-light racing shoes frequently come without any stability. But the Advantage supply just that: enough stability to make you feel the shoes are doing the job they’re supposed to do. From a tri point of view these are difficult to fault. […]
Zoot Women’s TRIfit Racesuit
The latest race suit from Zoot is aimed at comfort and long-distance performance. Using a double-zip system – one for the internal chest support and the other for the external suit – it was a little awkward to get into and produced some drag in the swim. But it still felt very supportive, especially on […]
Zoot Zenith 2
The Zenith is Zoot’s top-of-the-range suit, updated for 2009. BIOwrap balance technology makes the suit stand out in a crowd, giving it the look of a super-hero’s outfit, with padded panels mimicking the body’s musculature. But does it deliver a super-powered performance? 2mm Yamamoto neoprene exterior and 3mm balance panels on the interior allow the […]
Zoot Tri Ultra
This is the pinnacle piece of race apparel from American tri experts Zoot, and delivers a good balance of comfort and performance. The fabric provides a fine level of compression, but the short (seven-inch) inseam means this manifests mid-thigh. For more muscular athletes this could be a source of discomfort. That said, the hem is […]
Zoot Fuzion
The standout feature on the Fuzion is the fact that it’s made entirely from smooth skin Yamamoto neoprene, giving it a slight hydrodynamic edge over those that use uncoated rubber for some panels. It’s a relatively lightweight number and scored highly on shoulder flexibility. However, the test suit’s cut seemed very long in the body, […]
