Trisuit Preferences

[breaker]

So I'm looking at getting a trisuit and thought I'd ask what the brands to go for are, probably more to stay away from if any. Currently doing sprint distances, but hoping to build up to the longer distances.

Commando. In the "plaasdam" on top of Platberg

I have Orca and a skins, both much the same!

 

Sportsmans warehouse is having a yellow ticket sale starting 2 Jan, you might be able to pick up a bargain on 2XU or First Ascent

Get the suit that fits the best.

They are all very good (I do not know Triathlon Gear SA)

 

I prefer a top and bottom, easier to go to the loo...

I tried to try on a trisuit yesterday (I am a girl). The inner bra made it impossible to get into the suit and put the top on. I really feel like I missed a memo or something I will probably go top and bottom for now

Still need to find one - but will start looking next month. Should give me a few session to test it out before my Sprint in May.

+1 Orca. So comfortable I want to wear it everywhere

Coming to think about it, I have heard of some ladies cutting out the inner support and wearing a good sports bra underneath. It's also an option. Just make sure you train the way you race.

Gosh. Yes! Some days I change so many times I think it would be easier to just spend the whole day in a tri suit.

I prefer a two-piece - toilet stops are easier and it is more flexible if you wear a different size top-to-bottom.

Problem though is the top can creep upwards and you have to keep yanking it down on the bike and run. That would annoy me to no end.
