2. Tier-by-Tier Technical Description

2.1 ILT0 — Training Suit

• 82% polyester + 18% spandex high-stretch Lycra base
• 4-way stretch, moisture wicking, acceptable in both standing and skating postures
• Full sublimation: ink penetrates fibers — no cracking under stretch, no peeling after washing
• Best for: beginner ice sessions, roller-to-ice transition, club bulk orders

Selling point: Not "cheap tights" — it's a customizable, washable, everyday training foundation.

2.2 ILT1 — Pro Suit

• Same 82/18 high-stretch system, but pattern adjusted for forward-leaning skating posture
• Smoother front panel, cleaner side seams
• More "race-feel" than ILT0: tighter compression, less flapping fabric
• Best for: regional competitions, junior selection trials, team tryouts

Selling point: Training price, competition-grade pattern logic.

2.3 ILT2 — Airdrift™ 2 Aero Pro

• Entry into the Airdrift™ micro-texture aero system
• Airdrift™ 2 fabric: denser knit, balancing compression and abrasion resistance
• Screen-printed logo (small-area brand/certification mark) + full-body sublimation
• Zone logic: smooth front, micro-textured rear limbs
• Best for: clubs/academies wanting "aero" as a selling point

Selling point: First exposure to Airdrift™ boundary-layer management — no longer just shiny Lycra.

2.4 ILT3 — Airdrift™ 3 Aero Pro

• Airdrift™ 3 fabric: improved balance between aero drag reduction, breathability, and elastic recovery
• Flatlock or partial bonded seams; more systematic micro-texture on rear thigh and calf
• Can support ILT3-level wash-performance control (dimensional change, elasticity retention)
• Best for: provincial youth teams, association junior programs, mid-range overseas private label

Selling point: Aero no longer sacrifices breathability — back stays dry through 3000m / 5000m.

2.5 ILT4 — Airdrift™ 4 Aero Pro

• Airdrift™ 4 premium micro-texture fabric: lightweight + high adhesion + wash-stable aero
• Options: back zipper / off-center zipper, integrated hood, thumb loops, ankle cuffs, boot covers
• Add-on: wind tunnel / CFD summary, SGS / Intertek air permeability & abrasion reports, pre/post-wash comparison
• Best for: elite individual events, World Cup qualification, flagship private label lines

Selling point: Airdrift™ 4 = smooth chest and front thighs, micro-textured rear limbs — same push, less drag.

2.6 ILT5 — Mass Start / Team Pursuit

• Outer layer: Airdrift™ 4 aero knit
• Critical zones: Cut Resistance Level 4 (EN 388) — neck, groin, armpit, popliteal, calf, ankle, and other high-risk areas can receive cut-resistant lining or inserts
• Meets ISU Mass Start / Team Pursuit safety framework: cut protection can be integrated into the suit or worn as cut-resistant underwear
• For higher-level ISU events, Mass Start typically requires cut-resistant level 3; youth/development level 2–3
• Team pursuit features: country abbreviation ≥7 cm, national color blocks, uniform team identity, TV-friendly visibility

Selling point: Aero plus collision confidence — Mass Start is not "individual race with a hood," it's a safety tier switch.

3. Shared Technology & Process Foundation

• Base fabric: 82% polyester / 18% spandex
  High stretch, low cost, easy sublimation — ideal for B2B MOQ 1 piece and quick reorders.
• Sublimation customization
  Unlimited colors; team logos, sponsors, numbers printed in one pass — no added thickness, no loss of elasticity.
• Screen-printed logo (ILT2–ILT5)
  Used for small-area certification marks, brand badges, or reflective strips — avoids blocking micro-texture zone breathability.
• Posture pattern
  Cut for the deep crouch, hands-behind-back position: snug when standing, zero fabric bunching when skating (wrinkle = drag).
• Seam strategy
  Fewer seams on frontal surfaces; flatlock or bonded construction; seams placed under arms, behind legs, and along sides.
• Size system 150–195
  Covers junior athletes to tall senior competitors; supports measurement-based adjustments.

4. Aero Logic (Airdrift™ 2 / 3 / 4)

1. Smooth frontal zones → reduced surface shear
2. Micro-textured rear limbs → early boundary-layer transition
3. Longer attached airflow → smaller low-pressure wake
4. Posture-fit pattern eliminates wrinkles → no local "mini parachutes"
5. Wash-stable micro-texture and elasticity → aero lasts beyond first few wears

Standard 82/18 Lycra (ILT0/ILT1): aero through pattern only.

Airdrift™ 2/3/4: aero through fabric micro-texture + zoning + pattern working together.

5. Compliance & Certification Boundaries

• ISU Rule 224: Suit must conform to natural body shape — no rigid fairings, padding, or illegal aero attachments. Permanent stripes allowed (height ≤0.5 cm, width ≤2.5 cm).
• ISU Communication 2586 / 2651:
  • Short track, Mass Start, Team Events require cut resistance
  • ISU Mass Start typically requires cut-resistant level 3; youth/development level 2–3
  • Cut protection can be integrated into the suit or worn as cut-resistant underwear
  • Neck, ankle, gloves, helmet inspected per event rules
• SlideStar capability: EN 388 Level 3 / Level 4 / Level 5 cut resistance reporting available. ILT5 defaults to Level 4 in critical zones.
• Export/brand add-ons: OEKO-TEX, REACH, ISO 9237 air permeability, ISO 11092 evaporative resistance, Martindale abrasion.

ILT0/ILT1 use pattern for training-to-competition basics.

ILT2–ILT4 use Airdrift™ micro-texture for lightweight aero.

ILT5 combines Airdrift™ 4 with EN 388 Level 4 cut resistance —

From 150 cm juniors to 195 cm seniors, 1 piece custom, 7–10 day sampling, ISU-aligned thinking.
