The LiveLica Short Track Lycra Suit is the high performance outer layer that finishes your race setup. It is designed to be worn over your cut resistant Kevlar undersuit, so you get the protection of Kevlar underneath and a fast, clean aerodynamic profile on top. With a focus on aerodynamics, comfort and total freedom of movement, it is the finishing touch for both training and competition.
Worn over your Kevlar undersuit
Short track skaters layer for a reason. The cut resistant Kevlar undersuit protects you underneath, and this Lycra suit goes over the top to give you speed and a race ready look. The two work together, so you never have to choose between protection and aerodynamics. Wear this suit over the LiveLica Level 3 cut resistant Kevlar undersuit for a complete short track setup.
The angled side neck zipper
The standout feature is a clever angled zipper that runs along the side of the neck rather than straight up the front. In the deep, low short track position your chin drops toward your chest, and a front zip can dig in right where you need to be relaxed. The side angled zip removes that pressure point and leaves the neck free, so you can hold a deep tuck and commit fully to the corner. For riders who want to get the most out of their cornering, it is a real difference on the ice.
Aerodynamics and freedom of movement
Made from a smooth, stretchy Lycra fabric, the suit sits close to the body to cut drag on the straights while stretching with you through crossovers, starts and corners. Nothing flaps, nothing restricts, and the close fit keeps the whole profile fast from the first lap to the last.

Sizing
The suit comes in a full size run, from junior 4 through 16 and senior S, M and L, so the whole club can be kitted out. A race suit should feel snug rather than loose, because a loose suit flaps at speed and costs you time. Remember to allow for the undersuit worn beneath. If you are between sizes or buying for a growing skater, message us and we will help you choose.
Care
Wash gently and dry flat away from direct heat to protect the Lycra and the zip. Avoid harsh detergents and tumble drying, which can shorten the life of the fabric.
Frequently asked questions
Is this suit cut resistant?
No. This is the aerodynamic Lycra outer suit. The cut protection comes from the Level 3 cut resistant Kevlar undersuit worn underneath. Together they give you protection and speed.
Why is the zipper on the side of the neck?
The angled side neck zip removes the pressure a front zip puts on your throat when you drop into a deep short track position, leaving the neck free so you can commit fully to the corner.
How should it fit?
Snug and close to the body for aerodynamics, with room for your undersuit beneath. A loose suit flaps and slows you down. Message us if you are between sizes.
