Created for athletes, by athletes, Pelotan offers up to eight hours of protection from damaging UV rays with a single application. Trail and mountain runners spend long hours exposed to the sun, sometimes in particularly unforgiving conditions. Using Pelotan allows them to focus on training and competing without risking costly sunburn or skin damage. The Pelotan range also provides greater efficiency and peace of mind. The formula is lightweight and highly sweat and water resistant - essential for running fast and in changing weather conditions.
“Pelotan’s formula offers broad spectrum protection from UVA and UVB rays, which is essential for all runners’ skin health,” says ETT Performance Director Doug Stewart. “But more than that, Pelotan helps enhance performance, by being quick and easy to apply and reliable against sweat and rain. For a sport where the weather can change dramatically in one event, this can help athletes gain minutes on the trails - which can be a podium decider.”
Tom Austen, Founder of Pelotan, says: “We’re very pleased to partner with the whole Elite Trail Team. As they gear up for their key summer races, our products will keep them protected and performing at their best in some of the most testing environments and gruelling events on the circuit.”
Pelotan is high-performance sun protection created for athletes, by athletes.
