The northern California race series combines entertainment and racing. The energy and enthusiasm of the Golden Gate Triathlon Series aligns perfectly with SLS3’s belief in celebrating the joy of Triathlon.
“We are excited to be partnering with a growing, dynamic company like the USA Productions and the Silicon Valley Sprint and International Triathlon at Almaden Lake Park in San Jose, CA on June 12th and 13th,” said Sebastian Linke, owner of SLS3. “To be able to join in on the party that is The Golden Gate Triathlon Series and to expose so many avid, inspiring athletes to the SLS3 brand by supporting their ambitions to compete longer, farther and faster is invaluable to us.”
SLS3 will have a significant presence at the Silicon Valley Sprint and International Triathlon. SLS3 will be the exclusive apparel brand available for purchase at each event’s Health and Fitness Expo, and SLS3 will be featured prominently at the start and finish lines.
Participating athletes will have the chance to win SLS3 gear and see the latest in compression and race apparel technology. “
''Having the right technical gear during any triathlon race is crucial to any athlete. SLS3 has made apparel with athletes in mind and they have proven themselves once again with the new FX line.''

Memorial Day Weekend
This weekend has been very special for us - it has been the most successful weekend ever in our 3 year history. SLS3 athletes around the world earned top places at Ironman Brazil, Ironman 70.3 St. Poelten and the Giro D`Italia. Ivan Basso won his second Giro after 2006. He used the SLS3 compression socks to recover after the stages. We are looking forward to seeing him at the Tour de France this year. At the Ironman Brazil it was Petr Varbousek who finished 6th and Tereza Macel who the race. Both of them where wearing SLS3 compression. Petr loves the sleeves while Tereza was wearing the full socks. And in Europe it was Filip Ospaly who won IM 70.3 in St. Poelten, beating Macca and Raelert, while wearing the SLS3 compression sleeves.
