WORLD CLASS

Impsport has been at the forefront of race suit development since the 1970s, producing garments for Tour de France champions, Commonwealth Games gold medallists, World Champions and athletes competing at the highest level across global cycling disciplines.

The T3 Racesuit range represents the latest evolution in this lineage, combining decades of elite level experience with advanced in house research, development and pattern engineering. The result is a new generation of performance focused race suits designed to meet the demands of the modern competitive cyclist.

IMPSPORT T3 RACESUIT BROCHURE

RACE PROVEN SPEED

Impsport’s race suit development programme is informed by long term collaboration with elite performance pathways, including work with Scottish Cycling athletes competing on the international stage. This input supports an ongoing process of aerodynamic testing, pattern refinement and material development within our custom race suit range.

A clear example of this performance driven approach is John Archibald, who represented Team Scotland in the men’s individual pursuit at the Commonwealth Games, progressing to the final and securing a silver medal. Archibald has also achieved double British titles in the individual pursuit at the British National Track Championships, demonstrating sustained performance at the highest domestic level.

Alongside national programmes, Impsport supplies high performance race suits to professional teams worldwide. Every garment benefits from the same rigorous development process, attention to detail and precision manufacturing, whether produced for elite competition or club level racing.

Research & development

Independent Wind Tunnel Testing

'I served as the test rider for evaluating the performance analytics of the Impsport T3 Suit, engaging in comprehensive tests encompassing a variety of well-known brands and models at speeds of 10, 15, and 20 m/s (36, 54, 72 kph) respectively.

The findings were unequivocal – the Impsport T3 Suits emerged as the two swiftest suits across all tested speeds. A closer examination of the data revealed a significant reduction in my overall CdA, solidifying the remarkable performance of the suit.

I was keen to get one of these suits for myself.'

Specialist aero fabrics

Both the T3.1 Aero Suit and T3.2 Aero+ Suit are crafted from fabrics optimised for aerodynamic performance, informed by detailed airflow analytics throughout pattern development. The T3.1 Aero Suit delivers a high-performance single-layer construction, offering streamlined efficiency for elite racing. The T3.2 Aero+ Suit builds on this foundation with patented boundary layers (EP3213911B1) on the upper sleeves and side panels, generating measurable reductions in drag for riders seeking maximum aerodynamic advantage.

● Patented multi-membrane boundary layers (EP3213911B1) – T3.2 Aero+ only: strategically positioned to manage airflow and enhance aerodynamic stability.

● Channelled fabrics in high drag zones: optimise airflow around the rider, increasing streamline efficiency for both T3.1 Aero and T3.2 Aero+ suits.

● Airflow-driven pattern design: seam placement and garment contours are guided by wind tunnel testing and computational airflow analysis.

● Smoothing textured fabrics: control and trip airflow across the torso, legs and flanks while maintaining a precise, close-to-body fit for superior performance.

GEORGE FOX CYCLING SOLUTIONS

Specialising in aerodynamic bike fitting, George Fox brings hundreds of hours of wind tunnel testing experience with both cyclists and triathletes to every bike fit. By combining empirical data with individual rider metrics, George ensures every adjustment is informed and optimised for maximum performance. His evidence-based approach underpins his work with industry-leading businesses in bike fitting and cycling coaching.

At Impsport, we integrate insights from George’s testing into the development of our T3.1 Aero and T3.2 Aero+ Suits, using real-world rider data to refine fabric selection, pattern design, and seam placement. This collaboration ensures that every suit is engineered for optimal aerodynamic performance at the highest levels of competition.

Impsport T3 Suit Wind Tunnel Testing With George Fox

Why go slower...when you can go faster?

Aerodynamic drag is the dominant force limiting speed above ~30 km/h, with the rider’s body, clothing and position contributing the majority of resistance. Reducing drag through an optimised riding position and specialised aero garment delivers measurable performance gains in speed, efficiency and CdA (coefficient of drag × frontal area).

The Impsport T3 Suit is engineered for aerodynamic optimisation - with fabrics, panel geometry, seam placement and airflow management refined through computational airflow analysis and wind tunnel validation. This aerodynamic engineering reduces flow separation and turbulent wake, allowing you to convert more of your power into forward speed.

Wind tunnel testing at 40 km/h demonstrates a 9.2 W energy saving versus baseline, translating into tangible speed advantages in racing and high‑intensity efforts. With drag reduction and streamlined airflow at its core, the T3 Suit sets a new benchmark in performance‑driven cycle apparel. Don’t just ride - elevate your performance with Impsport.

Integrated number pocket

Impsport T3 Suits feature integrated race number pockets designed to maintain a streamlined aerodynamic profile while protecting the garment from pin damage.

● T3.1 Aero Suit: available with single or double integrated pockets, or no pocket, depending on rider preference. Pockets are optimally positioned to meet race regulations while reducing drag.

● T3.2 Aero+ Suit: fitted with a single integrated pocket or no pocket. Seam placement and pocket positioning are engineered to enhance airflow and maintain optimal streamline shape in the time trial position.

British Cycling has confirmed that it will not adopt the recent UCI regulation restricting built-in style number pockets, meaning Impsport’s integrated pockets are permitted in the majority of UK events. This provides a clear aerodynamic advantage over traditional pinned numbers while protecting the suit fabric.

Regulatory note: In BC UCI‑sanctioned events such as the National Road Race Championship and the CiCLE Classic, number pockets are only permitted for individual time trial events and cannot be used in bunch races.

Custom fitting service

'The custom fitting process takes the fit and performance of these already market leading suits to an incredible level. I was in disbelief at how much faster the new custom fitted suit was. I knew these fitted suits were something really special.'
