Top 5 Reasons SLYD is trusted by the Pros.
Super Stiff. For Super Hard Sends.
Our bars are 20% stiffer than the competition so your airways get blown wide open — and stay there.
Damn Near too sticky.
Sweat-proof medical-grade adhesive that stays locked through full races, drenched jerseys, and every send in between.

Silk-Thin and Goggle-Proof.
Premium silk sits perfectly under goggles and glasses without blocking or bunching. Comfort without compromising performance.
Your Mouth Is Skipping The Good Part.
Every breath through your nose picks up nitric oxide — about 6× more than a mouth breath2 — and it opens up blood flow in your lungs so the oxygen you're pulling actually lands. Keep the strip on, stay on your nose, and you and your little ripper stay in the good stuff longer.

Your Nose Makes The Good Stuff. Your Mouth Skips It.
There's a gas your body makes called nitric oxide. Your sinuses pump it out all day, and it hitches a ride on every breath you take through your nose. Open your mouth to breathe and you drive straight past it. Here's why that matters.
The hollow spaces behind your nose and cheekbones crank out nitric oxide nonstop — way more concentrated than anything in the air around you.1 Scientists measured a single breath in, both ways. The nose breath carried about six times more of it than the mouth breath.2 Same lungs. Same air. Wildly different delivery.
Nitric oxide relaxes blood vessels. Riding in on your breath, it widens the ones in the parts of your lungs that are actually full of air — so your blood shows up exactly where the oxygen is waiting.3 In lab testing, oxygen levels in the body ran higher on nose breathing than on mouth breathing, every time.4
More nitric oxide in your system means your body burns less oxygen to do the same work.5 Researchers chased it all the way down to the cell and found it squeezing more energy out of every bit of oxygen.6 Runners trained on nose breathing hit the same top-end numbers as mouth breathers while moving a lot less air to get there.7
Cool. So Why The Strip?
None of it matters if your nose quits on you. Almost all the resistance in your airway is jammed into one soft spot inside your nostril — and that's what caves in when you're pinned on lap 14. The strip holds it open. In testing, athletes wearing strips stayed breathing through their nose longer8 and said breathing felt easier doing it.9
The strip doesn't make the good stuff. It keeps the door open so you can go get it.
Don't Take Our Word for It
"The SLYD strip is a noticeable upgrade on the track and in the gym. We throw parts on our bikes based on performance and comfort — why not do the same for breathing? Won't line up without one from here on out."
"Made a big difference while I was riding mountain bike! I tell my friends all about them because I can breathe so much better now. Seriously — just get these."
"Racing mammoth motocross, the SLYD strips have made breathing at altitude a game changer. The airflow difference is real and they stayed glued on through the whole race."
"After washing and drying my son's nose they stuck wonderfully. He was excited and I was so happy he could breathe without difficulty. We will absolutely be buying more!"
