We are delighted that in March 2019 Exosuit was launched. Exosuit gives athletes proprioceptive feedback to help improve posture, stability and feeling of power. To help make this possible Thread iteratively developed the garment and it’s patented technology with Exosuit. It was tested and refined in conjunction with Progressive Sports in Loughborough and now this amazing technical garment is available to buy.
On Monday, Thread is off to Munich for ISPO, the sports industry trade fair, to meet suppliers and bring back inspiration, market insight and great new materials and hardware.

Shirin Gerami crosses the line at WTS Edmonton as Iran’s first and only female triathlete!
Thread and Shirin worked together to make the specialised kit that had to provide complete coverage with minimal effect on mobility and thermal burden. In a world of minimal, one-piece figure-hugging kit this seemed a tall order, but this was achieved with thoughtful design and selection of the coolest possible materials.
“They were comfortable, they looked awesome, they were easy to bike and run in and at no point in time did I wish I had a layer less.”
In a very short time window we were able to create toiles, produce artwork, source print and construct the final race kit. Shirin campaigned tirelessly for permission to race, which was finally granted the morning of the event.
