The reception for blueseventy's original thermal suit far exceeded their expectations. blueseventy immediately heard from a growing market of eager open water swimmers who praised them for extending their outdoor swimming season. The THERMAL Reaction is their response to deliver this option to more swimmers. Built with a high-grade traditional YKK zipper for easy in and out, proven RST panels, SCS coating, triple glued seams, blind stitched and internally taped high stress areas - the only thing left to do is hook your key on the loop and jump in. MADE FOR COLD WATER Full internal zirconium jersey reduces water absorption and protects against heat loss. Paired with neoprene accessories the THERMAL Reaction is rated down to 48°F / 9°C while a standard full suit for swimming is typically good to 54°F / 12°C. VO2 CHEST PANEL A central split chest panel allows greater chest expansion and unimpeded breathing. REACTIVE STRETCH TECHNOLOGY (RST) Upgraded to silver premium Yamamoto #39 cell rubber, the RST panels improve arm mobility, reach and propulsion. S-FLEX 2mm thin side panels improve fit and body rotation in the water without sacrificing buoyancy. BUOYANCY + The THERMAL Reaction features a 4-5-4 panel design centralising core buoyancy to raise the position of the hips in relation to the rest of the body. Two 4mm chest panels accent natural lung buoyancy to optimise upper body position relative to the legs. 5mm neoprene supports the hips and lower torso, lifting the body in the water, reducing drag and improving speed. 4mm panels in the lower legs ensure a more efficient kick by keeping the legs on the surface of the water.
A Suit That Delivers The upper body has been upgraded with a brand-new jersey liner for unrestrictive reach in the water and, new leg panelling delivers faster transition splits. Add to that a low neckline and VO2 chest panel (panels split with flexible neoprene), and you’ve got a suit that delivers everything you need for training and racing. Technologies and What Makes This the Best Reaction Yet REACTIVE STRETCH TECHNOLOGY (RST) - Further enhanced with ultra-stretch jersey, the RST panels improve arm mobility, reach and propulsion. S-FLEX - 2mm thin side panels improve fit and body rotation in the water, without sacrificing buoyancy. VO2 CHEST PANEL - A central split chest panel allows greater chest expansion and unimpeded breathing. LOWERED COLLAR - Curved closure flap reduces rear collar height, improving comfort and reducing chafing. Also features an easy-access key loop. QUICK EXIT LEGS - 2mm lower leg panels maximize the flexibility and promotes a quick release from your suit in transition. Taping on the internal seams is reinforced and allows you to cut the leg to a desired length. S-GRIP PANELS - A textured forearm print on our high stretch jersey provides extra feel for the water and additional grip in the propulsion phase of the stroke. AQUASEAL - The 4-way stretch fabric in the silicone cuffs seal the wrists from unwelcome water entry, without catching when removing the suit. BUOYANCY - The Reaction features a 4-5-4 panel design (referring to neoprene thickness), centralising core buoyancy to raise the position of the hips in relation to the rest of the body. Two 4mm chest panels accent natural lung buoyancy to optimize upper body position relative to the legs. 5mm neoprene supports the hips and lower torso, lifting the body in the water, reducing drag and improving speed. 5mm panels in the back of the hips are orientated to facilitate a raised body position when you roll to the side during breathing. FLEXIBILITY - Highly flexible 100% nylon ultra-stretch jersey is lighter and features 35% improvement in elongation compared to standard jersey. Care and storage Rinse your wetsuit in clean fresh water after each use. Dry inside out, then outside in. Keep away from direct sunlight. Avoid or limit use in chlorinated water.

Thicker Yamamoto rubber at the chest and legs gives swimmers the initial confidence and buoyancy they need. No other suit at this price delivers true open water swimming comfort without sacrifices to quality. SUPER COMPOSITE SKIN (SCS) - SCS coating in the legs and arms to provide a protective barrier against fingernails, wetsuit strippers and other enemies of triathlon wetsuits. SUPER STRETCH - Oversized arm gussets featuring super stretch jersey provide excellent flexibility and visibility. LOWERED COLLAR - Over twenty years of wetsuit design experience has made it's traditional zipper an industry standard. A curved closure flap reduces rear collar height, improving comfort and reducing chafing. ANATOMICAL LEG CUT - Shaped lower leg super stretch allows quicker exit from the suit. BUOYANCY - Built from a modified version of the popular Fusion suit, the Sprint lifts the lower half of the body in the water improving body position creating less drag and more speed while conserving energy. FLEXIBILITY - No other entry-level wetsuit features thin 1.5mm Yamamoto high quality neoprene in the arm and arm gussets. Review ''KILLER VALUE'' - Triathlete Magazine The draw: Speed for less The Sprint swims like a much more expensive suit with a comfortable, no-leak neckline, flexible shoulders and excellent rotation. Panels of super-thin neoprene run along the backs of the arms and lats (latissimus dorsi) to give it a fancy, flexy feel. You’ll use a few of the extra seconds you banked in the water to get it off around your wrists and ankles, but it’s worth it for the comfort and speed typically difficult to find at this price.

Bont Riot+ , the worlds first carbon composite heat moldable entry level cycling shoe now available with BOA retention system. The Riot+ combines Bont's pro series technical features, our power transfer platform, anatomical shaping with competition grade materials and BOA retention system to create the most technically advanced entry level road cycling shoe. Microfiber Upper Is Utilized Microfiber upper is used to provide the Bont Riot+ with a strong outer layer to withstand the rigours of everyday cycling whilst extensive perforations across the upper ensure excellent ventilation of the cycling shoes. Carbon Composite Construction The carbon composite construction of the Riot+ has been specifically designed to ensure maximum performance at low weight. The composite tub style construction of the chassis has been strengthened with the inclusion of carbon across high stress areas. The carbon has been sandwiched between layers of fibreglass to maximise strength. Retention System Z form velcro and micro adjustable BOA retention system are utilized in conjunction with Bont's anatomical design to ensure a secure fit. Ventilation The Bont Riot+ is highly ventilated via extensive perforations of the top panel. Anti Stretch Between the outer leather and the liner we add a material that is proprietary to Bont to stop the cycling shoe from stretching over time. This material has similar strength characteristics to Kevlar. The material is stitched to the outer leather and bonded to the liner so it can never move or be removed, it becomes part of the cycling shoes structure. This layer assits in pedalling efficiency by maintaining a supportive structure over the top of the foot in the upward part of the pedal stroke. Last Design A last is a replica of a foot that the cycling shoe is built around. Last makers do not make cycling shoe lasts, they only make shoe lasts so perfecting a cycling shoe last requires a great deal of expertise in functional biomechanics and ongoing research. At Bont, we have been perfecting our performance footwear lasts since 1975 and the process is ongoing. We believe we place more importance and thus place more effort into our last than any other cycling shoe brand and it is the reason that Bont cycling shoes continue to be a leader in providing the most functional and correct anatomical support to cyclists than any other brand on the market. Our motto in terms of cycling shoe fit is simple, We make shoes for cycling, not walking. Medial Longitudinal Arch Support Structural medial longitudinal arch support is provided in all models to stop over pronation of feet. Over pronation is one of the main contributors to incorrect tracking of knees during a cyclists pedaling phase due to internal rotation of tibia and femur. This can result in knee injuries. In addition, the rotation of tibia/femur can cause the pelvis to tilt resulting in lower back strain. Anatomical Heel Cup The anatomical heel cup shaping of Bont cycling shoes provides increased stability during the pull through stage of pedaling stroke and up stroke. This stabilization is achieved without any mechanical operation or over tightening of straps/laces allowing for increased comfort and blood circulation. Lateral Forefoot Support Bont’s lateral forefoot support ensures neutral positioning of the forefoot and alleviates common issues associated with over pronation and supination. These issues often result in incorrect tracking of knees causing injuries along with hip and lower back pain. Specifications: Model: ?Riot+ Material: Carbon Composite Construction with Microfiber Upper Stack Height: 4.8 mm Air Vents: Ventilations holes through upper and mesh inserts Innersole: Comfort Sole Guards: Replaceable Cleat Mounting: 3 Hole Look Configuration Closing Options: Boa dial and Z from velcro strap Weight: 280 grams
Bont Riot TR+, the worlds only carbon composite heat moldable entry level triathlon shoe. The Riot TR+ combines Bont's pro series technical features including our power transfer platform and anatomical shaping with competition grade materials to create the most technically advanced entry level triathlon shoe. Microfiber Upper Microfiber upper is used to provide the Bont Riot TR+ with a strong outer layer to withstand the rigours of everyday cycling whilst mesh inserts assist with the breathability of the cycling shoes. Carbon Composite Construction The carbon composite construction of the Riot TR+ has been Heat Moulding specifically designed to ensure maximum performance at low weight. The fibreglass tub style construction of the chassis has been strengthened with the inclusion of carbon across high stress areas. The carbon has been sandwiched between layers of the fibreglass to maximise strength. Retention System Independent double velcro closure system to allow for maximum adjustability. The main strap has been designed to allow it to be maintained in a fully opened state to assist in quick transition times. TPU Toe Protector The toe protector can protects the front area of the shoe from wheel rub and impact. Ventilation The Bont Riot TR+ is highly ventilated via integrated top mesh panels and ventilation holes throughout the side microfiber panels. Last Design A last is a replica of a foot that the cycling shoe is built around. Last makers do not make cycling shoe lasts, they only make shoe lasts so perfecting a cycling shoe last requires a great deal of expertise in functional biomechanics and ongoing research.

Our motto in terms of cycling shoe fit is simple, We make shoes for cycling, not walking. Carbon Fiber Bont carbon fiber is sourced exclusively from the world's #1 carbon manufacturer, Toray of Japan. The base of the Riot TR+ is made by hand utilizing uni-directional carbon fiber which is embedded with epoxy thermo setting resin. The fibers are hand laid in the matrix according to the strain they will have to bear. The Riot TR+ utilizes unidirectional carbon fiber allowing Bont to create a performance cycling shoe with very specific strength characteristics based on stress points in cycling. As unidirectional carbon absorbs less resin then cross weave fibers, it also assists in the weight reduction of the cycling shoes. Medial Longitudinal Arch Support Structural medial longitudinal arch support is provided in all models to stop over pronation of feet. Over pronation is one of the main contributors to incorrect tracking of knees during a cyclists pedaling phase due to internal rotation of tibia and femur. This can result in knee injuries. In addition, the rotation of tibia/femur can cause the pelvis to tilt resulting in lower back strain. Anatomical Forefoot Shape Conventional cycling shoes offer a “dress shoe” type shaping. Although highly aesthetic this will cause the toes along with the metatarsals to be overly constricted, compressing the nerves between the metatarsals which often results in the common hot foot sensation. Bont cycling shoes anatomical shaping allows the foot to function in its most efficient and anatomically correct position. The foot is supported in its endeavour to relax through the metatarsal joints allowing the pedalling force to be spread across the greatest possible surface area. Anatomical Heel Cup The anatomical heel cup shaping of Bont cycling shoes provides increased stability during the pull through stage of pedaling stroke and up stroke. This stabilization is achieved without any mechanical operation or over tightening of straps/laces allowing for increased comfort and blood circulation. Lateral Forefoot Support Bont’s lateral forefoot support ensures neutral positioning of the forefoot and alleviates common issues associated with over pronation and supination.
