Engineered for performance



Introducing our most aerodynamic speedarms, the result of innovation and development by the Niviuk R&D team.
Designed to optimise flight performance and available for all pilots. 

Aero Speedarms are the result of months of work and research: the materials used for their construction have been tested in a wind tunnel,
allowing us to select the fabrics that offer the greatest reduction in drag and optimisation of air flow. The shape of the sleeves has been
adapted to the flying position, meaning that they fit each pilot.

Technical information
 

  • Sleeves made with a technical fabric that reduces aerodynamic drag and optimises airflow direction. Our R&D team has tested different materials in the wind tunnel and found that the chosen option is the best for reducing drag. 
     
  • Wind tunnel tests, at speeds from 18 km/h to 90 km/h in different flying positions, showed that the chosen technical fabric offers an aerodynamic improvement of up to 25% compared to the current fabric used in our R-Series Speedarms.
     
  • Competition Lycra with adjustable fit. Stitching has been added at strategic points to reduce creases and minimise drag. Lightweight fabric with a soft feel against the skin. Highest quality materials and comfort.

‘We decided to utilise these innovative materials in the new Aero Speedarms following our
Beyond the Glide philosophy: with the aim of providing advanced tools for pilots of all levels
to optimise their flight performance to the maximum,’
explains our R&D team.

Details and characteristics
 

  • Anti-slip waistband.
     
  • 4-thread flatlock stitched sleeve to optimise the fit and comfort of the garment.
     
  • Front zip with lock and neck protection to prevent chafing.
     
  • Fuchsia pink sleeves. Black, cuffs made of elastic fabric that covers the knuckles, elasticated cuffs with a comfortable, stretchy thumb-hole
     
  • Black torso made of lightweight, stretchable Lycra. DTF printed NIVIUK logos on the front and back, with gradient design.
     
  • It is highly versatile and adapts to different weather conditions: you can wear it over a down jacket when it's cold; or as a single piece or over a t-shirt when temperatures are warmer. If you want it to fit perfectly and take advantage of its aerodynamic characteristics, you will need a different size for different conditions. 

Manufacture and materials
 

  • Local and sustainable production with Oeko-Tex certification: the use of water and energy during manufacture has been minimised. 
     
  • Breathable, stretchy and compressive interlock fabric with UPF 50+ protection. Dope-dyed, high opacity black yarn.
     
  • Front and back panels are highly resistant to pilling and snagging. 
     
  • Fabric: 77% polyamide, 23% elastane.
     
  • Weight: 180 g/m2.
