IKA IKA means strength and power, and athletes need them to conquer the finish line of an IRONMAN race. The design plays with two very opposing colours which represents the tense moment of a race (the black) and the peaceful feeling of having accomplished your goal.

CHAMOIS TECHNOLOGY

Our technologies are crucial to the performance of our garments, and we have developed proprietary chamois brands to highlight the quality and feature levels of differently specced shorts. All the different Santini paddings are designed by us and are handmade in Italy using our specialist manufacturing techniques. We stitch the special curves and depressions on the internal part of the chamois from the inside, so that there are no seams in contact with the skin.

IMG

IMG is a triathlon specific chamois ideal for long distance races. The IMG weighs only 52 grams and features the new innovative patented Tower Gel core by Nicolini which is 40% lighter, doesn’t absorb water, and is 60% more flexible than the gel core of our cycling bib-shorts. The structure of this gel is made of small “towers” which are bigger in the ischiatic area and diminish in size towards the edges of the seat pad, offering a high level of shock absorption for up to 7 hours in the saddle. The “tower structure” also enhances the breathability of the padding by 45%, and thanks to its flexibility it adapts perfectly to the body throughout the swim and the run.

STG

STG is a triathlon specific chamois ideal for short distance races. STG weights only 31 grams and features the new innovative Tower gel core by Nicolini which is 40% lighter, doesn’t absorb water and is 60% more flexible than the gel core of our cycling bib-shorts.

The “tower structure” also enhances the breathability of the padding by 45%, and, thanks to its flexibility it adapts perfectly to the body throughout the swim and the run.
