VICTORIA—The Triathlon Canada Nation will be suiting up in new race apparel when swimming, biking and running around the world, thanks to a new partnership established with Z3R0D and Triathlon Canada.
Z3R0D, the triathlon race suit brand that is worn by the fastest international athletes, has inked a six-year deal to supply all race apparel for Triathlon Canada’s high-performance athletes and age group teams beginning in 2023.
“Triathlons are a demanding three-sport discipline that require athletes to be comfortable while competing in a variety of elements in order to ensure they have a competitive advantage, so we are excited to partner with Z3R0D to provide access to the critical race suits our athletes require for optimal performance in training and on competition day,” said Joe Morissette, chief executive officer, Triathlon Canada. “Z3R0D is a proven performer, and we look forward to having them with us on our team’s quest for the international podium.”
Z3R0D provide training and racing gear for triathlon but also for the three associated disciplines – swimming, cycling, running – as well as neoprene wetsuits, swim run gear, lifestyle apparel and accessories. Their competition suits are dedicated to performance, combining premium materials and fabrics together with an exclusive design enabling triathletes to practice their beloved sport in the very best way without forgetting style.
“We are very proud to partner with Triathlon Canada and offer age group & elite athletes our expertise and know-how. We are delighted to supply them with the very best when it comes to triathlon gear. At Z3R0D, we select the most advanced materials and technologies on the market”, said Frédéric Dorez, co-founder of Z3R0D. “We strive to continuously innovate in the conception of our products, to optimize the use that can be made of them. In this respect, having top athletes wearing our trisuits on all national and international races aligns with our vision. This privileged relationship and our proximity to triathletes are firmly anchored in our core values.”
The Z3R0D triathlon suits are incredibly fast both in and out of the water thanks to our Water Wear Weapon fabric technology and our Xtra flat seams. They provide great support to the muscles while reducing the soreness effect. They not only dry quickly but also stay in shape along the race. A reversed zip at the back will provide ventilation along the race and a specific short distance tripad will help the athlete stay comfortable on the bike and run legs.
Triathlon Canada and Z3R0D have already begun working with a group of Canadian triathletes to design the new look for when the suits will make their debut on the international start line in early 2023.
Triathlon Canada is the governing body of the sport in the country. Triathlon Canada’s more than 22,000 members include athletes, coaches and officials from the grassroots to elite levels. With the support of its valued corporate partners – 94 FORWARD, Z3R0D, Training Peaks, Subaru Canada– along with the City of Victoria, Government of Canada, Canadian Olympic Committee, Canadian Paralympic Committee, and Own the Podium, Triathlon Canada develops Olympic, Paralympic and World Champions in all race disciplines.
