The top has been re-engineered to combine panels of Killa Kompress compression fabric to support muscle groups, alongside Orca's new Tri-Enduro mesh fabric for breathability and wicking, and the latest generation Vapour for fit and comfort.

The internal bra has been constructed with compression and mesh fabrics for support and comfort, an internal pocket and a new zip system to make getting in and out of the top easier. Key features for endurance distance racing include the safety elastic pocket, reflective elements for visibility in low light conditions, and a front control zip for increased ventilation when required.
