Founded in Kona, Hawaii in 1983, Zoot Sports operates its global headquarters in Carlsbad on Loker Avenue West near Poinsettia Park. The brand invented the first triathlon-specific racesuit and continues to engineer swim-to-run transition apparel, wetsuits, and cycling kits within the same North County endurance corridor where Carlsbad e-bikes & more serves the cycling segment. Italian parent company Manifattura Valcismon acquired a majority stake in October 2023, expanding the distribution footprint to 22 countries across Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Americas. The on-site showroom at Suite B runs direct-to-athlete wetsuit fittings and tri-suit measurements, a hands-on sizing service unavailable at standard retail outlets including OAKLEY VAULT at the Carlsbad Premium Outlets. The custom team program produces full-sublimation race kits on moisture-managing polyester-spandex chassis for triathlon clubs, TOUGHMAN series participants, and multi-sport organizations worldwide.
