Speed Silks is a form-fitting, head-to-toe equine jockey uniform made entirely from Aero Dimplex®, an aerodynamically-engineered fabric to reduce drag. Your secret weapon!
Aero Dimplex is a low-resistance material that was designed using wind-tunnel testing. Aero Dimplex actively generates a turbulent airflow from the small dimples. The turbulence reduces friction, which is the theory behind the dimples on the surface of a golf ball to carry the ball farther. And it’s not all about sliding through the wind; you want to do it without feeling like you are wrapped in a sausage skin. Aero Dimplex absorbs sweat and transports it away from the body without drying out the skin. Aero Dimplex acts like a second skin, providing physical comfort thanks to skin-friendly properties, hygiene and freedom of movement.
The textile is a multi-layer knit structure that uses spun and textured yarns.
This use of different yarns ensures that moisture is transferred from the first layer to the outer layer where it can evaporate. Speed Silks products are made entirely of Aero Dimplex, a patented fabric engineered to reduce aerodynamic drag. Aero Dimplex® is dimpled like a golf ball, and those dimples are what give Speed Silks its aerodynamic properties.
Aero Dimplex is already used by competitive cyclists and runners. It’s rated as the world’s fastest fabric between 14 and 47 miles per hour.
Speed Silks are so comfortable, you’ll quickly forget you’re even wearing them. Unlike spandex or old-fashioned nylon colors, Speed Silks are extremely lightweight and breathable.
And Aero Dimplex wicks moisture away to help keep you cool on a hot track.
Speed Silks are form-fitting, and you’ll find they fit and feel much like today’s compression-style athletic wear, only lighter and more “airy.”
If it isn’t cold outside, wear what you would normally wear under your vest. We suggest you wear compression shorts underneath Speed Silks pants.
But if it’s cold outside, we recommend a warm layer underneath. Since Speed Silks are thin and breathable (much more so than traditional gear), they help keep you cool in hot weather. But that means they won’t keep you warm in winter. Many major athletic wear brands sell thermal compression-style undergarments –both tops and pants– that are designed to keep you warm.
