Forza Compressor This amazing fabric lifts and supports muscles to dampen the vibration due to dynamic flexion and extension, as well as isometric flex during exercise. De Soto was the first company to produce compression garments in 1997. Since then we have offered Forza Products that have helped thousands of triathletes win as well as improve on their personal best. Research findings from extensive university studies show the Forza Compressor fabric used in our garments help to improve athletic performance by delaying the onset of fatigue by as much as 12%, and by giving an improved sense of body position. We assemble the garments of this fabric with proprietary articulated stitching techniques that maximize comfort and fit while minimizing constriction and drag. Consider each Forza garment as an “exterior ligament” for your body! Mobius Comfort Compression A Mobius Strip is a surface with only one side and one boundary. Mobius (aka Mobius Comfort Compression) is our new form-fitting, yet non-binding compressive fabric. When blending fibers the knit created makes repeated mobius loops so that the same surface is on both sides of the fabric. You will notice comfort and support without constriction, opacity without unnecessary weight, and durability from a very smooth surface on both sides. We use this fabric on the Mobius Tri Short and the Mobius Cycling Bibshort. We also use Mobius on the leg bands of all our shorts so there is no tight squeeze or binding on the legs. Liftfoil3 Liftfoil3 fabric is a highly technical fabric created by Emilio De Soto and is made exclusively for De Soto by a manufacturer in Italy. Liftfoil3 is FINA approved hydrophobic and compressive fabric. It is hydrophobic because of a very tight Microweave, so tight it limits absorption of water and/or sweat. Liftfoil3 is knitted with coldBlack Technology — At speeds below 5 mph (8 kph) the best surface to flow though water is a smooth surface like Liftfoil. Liftfoil3 is designed to be worn very tight. When stretched on a moving body, Liftfoil3 becomes thinner, so it absorbs less water. Because it compresses against the skin, it reduces passive drag, and acts as a foil to lift the body at the water surface. coldBlack Technology Sun Reflector – UV Protector: Dark colors heat up stronger when exposed to direct sunlight compared to light colors. Now there is coldblack, a special finishing technology for textiles which reduces heat build-up and provides reliable protection from UV rays. Clasico 7mm Pad The Pad is the short, the short is the pad You have never seen anything like this because it has never existed until we first did it in 2012. We have created an integrated pad where instead of just sewing a pad into the short, we actually create the short by sewing the fabric to the pad all the way around the perimeter. The pad stretchs in all directions. There are no seams between your body and the saddle. The pads for triathlon and road bikes are shaped differently to accommodate forward-rotated pelvic position when on a steeper seat angle bike versus a more conventional road bike position. The proprietary foam fiber floats when it gets wet. The fiber absorbs very little moisture this allowing for a quick-drying garment.
