Double Olympian, Ironman 70.3 winner, two-time Super Sprint Oceania Crown and 4th in her T100 debut earlier in 2026.

has been on the up and up these past few years, swapping New Zealand winters for Girona summers, and using the heat to help her prepare for the fastest triathlon races in the world.

We got out for a ride with Nicole during the brutal summer heat to see what it takes to be at the top of the game.

🌋 Kona this weekend. The space in Pelotan investor palmares.

Here Kristian walks us through how he’s used UV Load across the whole build: tracking his sun exposure session by session so the Big Island heat is something he’s prepared for, not something he finds out about on the Queen K. You may have seen his UV Load scores in his Strava workouts (if you’re not too busy picking your jaw up from the floor at the work he’s putting in).

No stone unturned.

Next up in our series of pieces with our partner is

2nd at the Arc of Attrition, 3rd at Ultra Trail Snowdonia, rounding off the year with 28th at CCC in August. Most of the season built at altitude, where UV runs about 10% stronger per 1,000m.

Here’s what he used, when it came out of the vest, and why it stuck.

Ready to go again in 2027

What if sunscreen for sports didn’t have to be ‘relatively miserable’?
zlobinsky spends his life outside: whether it’s running, riding, camping, racing, resting or shooting – the guy gets a lot of time in the sun. Now he’s got the right sunscreen to keep up with him.

Kicking off the first in a series of pieces with our partner is reflecting on a challenging start to 2026 and how Pelotan played a key part in her return to training and racing smack bang in middle of the hottest summer on record 🥵

Kicking off a training block during a heatwave has it’s challenges to say the least, and protecting the body from the impact of high UV Load (with zero adaptation) is a way to ensure those early sessions don’t feel worse than they have to.

Here’s to a strong end to 2026 and an easier ‘on ramp’ into 2027!

Sunscreen is performance equipment. treats it like it.

Before the interval set, before the watch starts, the Pelotan goes on. UV loads the body the same way the session does. It drives up core temperature, adds oxidative stress, and drags on how well he recovers to go again tomorrow. Managing it is a marginal gain most athletes leave on the table (just not the U23 World Champion 🌈)

It starts in the car park. Pelotan on, rubbed in, invisible before you’ve finished your laces.

Then the mountain. Singletrack through the trees, out above the treeline, sun on the ridge for as long as you’re up there. It works harder at altitude than it does at sea level, and over a long run that adds up in the legs.

One application covers the whole day out. The climb gets your full attention. The sun gets none of it.

See you up there.

Pelotan in hand, straight off the edge into the sea.

Built to stay on when you’re wet. Sweat, salt water, a full day on the bike or in and out of the surf, it holds its ground. Sweatproof and water-resistant, made for people who actually move.

Stage 2: UV Load 81. High.

Lorena Wiebes made it two from two in Geneva. Riejanne Markus looked like she’d hold on, caught inside the final 500m, and Wiebes came off the wheels with 250 to go to beat Elisa Balsamo and Marianne Vos. Two stages, two wins, still in yellow, and a record seventh Tour de France Femmes stage win to her name.

Behind the sprint, the sun had a major impact. Stage 1 scored 62 under broken cloud. Yesterday the sky cleared to 6% cover at 32.8°C, and the UV Load climbed to 81. Four hours of racing with nothing overhead.

A heat dome has settled over much of the US. 170 million people are under it, and records are falling from Montana to the Gulf.

When it’s this fierce, the sun is relentless, and the athletes we work with are still out in it: on the bike, on the trails, on the road, doing what they love.

Our job is the sun, that’s what Pelotan handles. SPF 30 with the maximum FDA water and sweat resistance, so it stays put through sweat and won’t run into your eyes.

has spent the summer putting it through its paces on the MTB trails, ‘sweating like a witch in church’, and he’s a convert.
