Description
Key Performance Features
High-Tensile Hypermesh™ Weave: Engineered for maximum ventilation, the specialized mesh structure allows air to move freely across your skin, facilitating rapid sweat evaporation even in stagnant, humid conditions.
Integrated Ice-Pocket Cooling: Features strategically placed pockets on the back panel designed for aid-station ice. This allows for direct-to-body cooling during the run phase to help regulate your core temperature.
Versatile Mega-Storage System: Includes oversized rear pockets capable of housing a full water bottle for self-supported training, plus secure internal front pockets for gels and salt tabs that stay put through every stride.
UVP 20+ Protection: Offers a essential shield against solar radiation while maintaining an ultra-breathable profile that won't trap heat.
Seamless Laser-Cut Leg Grippers: Utilizing a precision screen-pattern grip, the leg hems provide a secure, "second-skin" fit that eliminates chafing and prevents the fabric from riding up during the run.
World-Class Italian Chamois: Equipped with a premium Elastic Interface® pad from Italy, providing long-distance saddle comfort without adding bulk during the marathon.
Care Instructions
To maintain the quick-dry capabilities and the integrity of the Hypermesh™ fibers:
- Rinse: Always rinse in fresh, cold water immediately after your race or training session.
- Wash: Machine wash cold on a delicate cycle (use a mesh laundry bag to protect the mesh weave).
- Detergent: Use a mild, liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach, as they clog the mesh pores and damage the Spandex.
- Dry: Drip dry in the shade. Never tumble dry, as high heat will destroy the elastic fibers and the leg grippers.
- Maintenance: Do not iron or dry clean. Keep away from Velcro to prevent fabric snags.

3. How should I care for my Purpose gear after a session or race?
