Current and future Voler Teams! I wanted to update you on some needed changes to Voler's custom line up.

1st, new bottoms!
We have updated the FS patterning, dong away with many of the flat lock stitches in the crotch area. We have also done away with the Elite fabric and replaced it with Forza. Forza is an embossed 40 denier compression lycra (that's good). Being embossed means is has a dimpled texture somewhat similar to the former Elite fabric but much much more durable and compressive. We are using two version of this fabric in the crotch area and the sublimated panels.

What all this means is an entirely new fit and function. Fit of the new bottoms (all men's and women's FS) is now more in-line with industry standard. Previously, it was necessary to size down in many cases. Our new Forza bottoms fit very true to size. If you had had to size down you will certainly want to try on the new pieces or at least plan to size back up to your regular size. If your previous bottoms were on the lose side or fit you well, you will probably be ok to stick with your current size.

In this new FS short you still have the option of ordering our Triton Lycra (our standard material). All other color and stitching options are the same.

Skin Suits
The new FS Skin Suits also get the new FS bottom. We have also changed some of the paneling on the tops. We have cleaned up the seams in the side panels making for a more clean, snug fit across the Torso.

Jackets/Vest - Women's Cuts!
We now have a complete line up of women's specific outerwear. Same materials, women's specific patterns. Gals, no need to size down anymore.

New Tri everything
Our entir Tri line up has been updated. I highly recommend ordering a complete sizing kit. Pretty hard to cover all the updates here but I can say you will be impressed!

Ordering
Our online order system is more or less the same. Some new features are being added but like Item categories, minimums and auto-pack remain the same.

Pricing
As with new fabrics, our prices have crept up a little, approx 4-7% depending. Cost of raw materials continues to go up year after year. Once you see the new stuff i think you'll see why.A very very nice upgrade in allot of ways.

Current order delivery is 1st week of Nov.

New sample kits can ship out as early as Sep 1.
