At Sported, we’re constantly testing, riding, racing, and refining what we stock – with one simple goal: bringing genuinely good products to the triathlon and endurance community.
As we head into a new season, here are 10 products that were new to us in 2025 and genuinely stood out. No hype – just kit we rate, use, and confidently recommend.
WETSUIT – BLUE70 REACTION
Our go-to all-round wetsuit for training and racing. The latest Reaction borrows features from the iconic Helix, delivering comfort, buoyancy and durability. Available in sleeved and sleeveless versions and ideal for age‑group athletes. New to triathlon? The Fusion wetsuit, winner of Triathlon 220 “Best on Test”, is also well worth considering.
SOCKS – Q36.5 & RUNDERWEAR
We spent a long time looking for a cycling sock that works in UAE heat without foot swelling. Q36.5 Clima, recommended by pro triathlete Julie Derron, performed brilliantly through the summer. For running, especially in a 70.3, Runderwear anti‑blister socks remain bullet‑proof.
PUMPS – FUMPA
For racing overseas, the Mini Fumpa+ is a travel essential. Pocket‑sized with a built‑in gauge for stress‑free race mornings. For the race itself, the Nano Fumpa avoids the hassle of CO₂.
TRISUITS – SURPAS & FUSION
Our personal favourite is the Surpas Insane 3 Trisuit, worn by the Norwegians at the World Championships in Nice. It’s ultra-light, highly breathable and performs brilliantly in hot racing conditions – exactly what you want when you hit the run in the midday sun.
It also looks fantastic when customised, making it a standout option for teams and corporate kit.
Our best-selling suit of 2025, however, was the Fusion Tempo Two, especially popular with first-timers at T100 events.
SUNGLASSES – RUDY PROJECT TURBULENCE
Lightweight, stable and comfortable – you forget you’re wearing them.
NUTRITION – STEALTH BIGr ENDURANCE
Modern triathlon performance is increasingly the sum of marginal gains: better bike technology and set-up, aero improvements, smarter training methodologies – and, crucially, better nutrition strategies. When it comes to carrying big volumes of carbohydrate on the bike in a format that’s easy to digest and travel-friendly, BIGr Endurance has become a favourite. It delivers 100g of fast-absorbing carbs with a full electrolyte profile in a 500ml bottle, in a simple one-sachet format.
Also new this year: improved STEALTH Lemon & Lime gels. Sported now also stocks Precision Fuel & Hydration, Maurten and SIS.
HYDRATION – HYDROGAINS BY EZGAINS
Proven 5–12 watt savings and trusted by the pros. We fitted Hydrogains systems for Willy Hirsch and Lisa Perterer ahead of T100 races. Pair with TriRig Kappa cages for maximum security.
CYCLING SHOES – SIDI T5
Now on version five, the SIDI T5 remains our triathlon shoe of choice: lightweight, breathable and fast through transition. We’ve also expanded our road cycling shoe range to include SIDI shoes.
POOL TRAINING – DRAG2ZERO OTION PADDLES
Designed to reinforce correct stroke pathways rather than brute force – a smart and different pool tool.
RECOVERY – PILLAR TRIPLE MAGNESIUM
Recovery matters. In endurance sport, sleep is quite literally *free drugs* – and one of the most powerful performance enhancers available. Pillar Triple Magnesium supports deep, restful sleep, helping triathletes consistently recover better, train harder, and show up fresher on race day (and yes, it helps those Garmin sleep scores too).
