Who are you, and what do you do? Tell us a bit about yourself.

My name is Ben Kanute and I am a professional triathlete.

What is your favourite place to train, and what makes it special for you?

I love to train wherever I am at with my family. Our home is Phoenix Arizona and that has been amazing for the great winter weather. There are tons of trails to choose from, and also some great road riding. The variety is great during the winter months when base miles are high.

What is your favourite Santini item, and why?

It’s hard to pick a favorite Santini item, but the unico bib shorts are always a good choice. It’s important to have a good pair for those long rides.

What Santini piece or accessory do you consider essential for winter?

Essential winter pieces for me are the vest, and arm/leg warmer combos. It is cold in the morning but then heats up, so I love the packability of these items.

What Santini piece or accessory do you consider essential for summer?

Essential summer piece is again the unico bib shorts. Just an essential item for any ride to be enjoyable.
