We’re all now familiar with clothing brands heading to the wind tunnel to collect some stats on how fast its latest aero offering.and it’s claimed to have tested 32 seconds faster than World Tour-leading speedsuits over 40km at 300w. Sweet, you now have a target to sit at if you want to reap the benefits, but one startup took this a step further.
With sleeves constructed from 3D textured tightly woven fabric developed in the wind tunnel, Go Faster claims the Level 2 jersey is optimised for speeds above 39km/h, and so it decided it was only going to sell to riders who could prove they could ride at this average speed. Cat Ears’ AirStreamz supposedly work the same way as the fur in a cat's ear, protecting the ears and breaking up and dampening the wind. Wind noise, according to Cat Ears, depends on speed, riding position, head shape and turbulence, and so the brand says wind noise levels are reduced by 14-16 dBA between 20 and 20k Hz - this is a reduction in sound pressure level of approximately 75%.
