Any thoughts, comments on how your LS skin cooler shirts stack up with the new aero jerseys? Have you done any testing?
Thanks
We have some testing planned with Jim from ERO in the near future, but without that testing we have introduced a new Skin Cooler SDS fabric that now blocks 90 of UVB rays. No sense in us testing the old when this new fabric is already out on the market.
Featuring three spinal pockets for ice or cold sponges, commonly available at aid stations.
Made of De Soto Skin Cooler SDS™, it blocks up to 90% of the sun’s (UVB) burning rays. The three spinal pockets might not make sense to someone who has not endured an Ironman distance or half Ironman distance in very hot weather. The pockets line up along your spine and are designed to help your body cool. Our Shirt is great for aid station ice, sponges, or for carrying gel packets. You might be used to only using the lower pocket of your current jersey, but you will quickly find the upper pocket to be great for carrying sunglasses, a cell phone or your mp3 player. The center pocket may require the help of the aid station or a bit more flexibility on the part of the wearer. The pockets are not designed to carry excessive weight such as water bottles, gel flasks, or any comparable weight.
This is not a compression garment, yet it is supposed to fit snug, for aerodynamic purposes. Wear it over or under any triathlon top, triathlon suit, or cycling jersey. This garment is not designed for repeated use in a chlorinated pool.

Thanks. My two fastest IM bike splits were in the older version of the shirt. Looks like I’ll need to get one of the new ones and do some field testing.
