Great triathalon suit!
This triathlon suit is fantastic! The padding provides just the right amount of cushioning for bike rides, making long rides much more comfortable. The overall body support is great too—it fits snugly without feeling restrictive, and the quick-dry material is a huge plus for transitioning between activities.The only downside? Let’s just say I don’t have the ideal physique for this type of suit, so I prefer to wear a shirt over it. But that’s more about me than the suit itself! Functionally, it’s top-notch, and if you’re looking for a well-made tri suit that delivers on comfort and performance, this is a great choice.Highly recommend!

Really form fitting, runs a bit small
I wanted to try this for use with SUP. I wear XL shirts and thought that 2XL would work for me, It is a bit too form fitting. Perhaps 3XL would be best for me. I intended to wear a long sleeve rash guard to protect against UV light exposure. It works ok for me if I put the rash guard outside.I would prefer to have the zipper in the front of the suit as I have limited mobility in one shoulder.The suit does provide a bit of warmth. The padding in the crotch area would also help in riding a bike. I think that the thickness in those areas are kept to a minimum to in order to keep the weight of the suit as low as possible for tri-athletes.

Great fit and comfort!
I already have a tri suit that I got last year to help keep my body temperature up a bit while swimming in the pool after I get home from work. At the time (I got it during the fall), it was getting darker earlier so would usually be night by the time I got home, and I didn't want to freeze while trying to swim. I'm a bit of a wimp when it comes to colder water, and my uncle had suggested that I get a triathlon suit which led to me getting a relatively inexpensive one (and also one specifically resistant to chlorine). When I saw this tri suit available to order, I liked the style and design of it so decided to give it a try!I did notice that there's not much info available on the product page about it. Of course, based on the material of this triathlon suit and my particular intended use of it (primarily pool-swimming in chlorinated water), I won't think negatively of it if the material doesn't last as long since polyamide doesn't seem to have good chlorine resistance. That said, I've been using it a bit so far since getting it, and I have been liking it so far! Although it's still summer and the pool water has been quite warm (in the lower 80°F range) so I haven't needed it yet, I look forward to using it more during Fall when the pool temp starts to lower.I ordered based on the sizing chart of course, and an XL seemed to fit my needs. My chest measurement is a bit over 40",my waist is about 36", and my height is slightly under 6'2", and the XL fit me perfectly! I was particularly happy that my height didn't cause the shoulder straps to strain too much. However, there's a bit of tightness in the crotch area though it isn't too uncomfortable, and once swimming I don't even notice it. Of course, the seat also has cushioning for biking, the legs have grippers to help prevent them riding up, and the zipper on the back is easy to get due to the long strap. If you can't reach to the middle of your shoulder blades or the small of your back easily, you may have issues. Fortunately, I have not felt any discomfort whatsoever with the zipper on the inside, and that is likely due to the covering over said zipper so it doesn't rub against your back. One other nice thing about this suit is that it has small pockets at the back waist on each side to put small items in.Overall, I find this triathlon suit to be a great value and hope that it will last a reasonable amount of time for my pool-swimming, though I honestly won't fault it if it doesn't last too long due to the material (though I will be sure to rinse it after each swim). If you plan to use this for salt water, however, I'm sure it will hold up much more reliably!

I get why triathletes wear these
I am not a triathlete but am an avid cyclist and ride an average of 50-60 miles a week. I've found over the years that padded cycling shorts help eliminate the discomfort that riding long distances, even with a padded seat, can cause. I have been using a pair of cycling shorts with built-in padding but they required layering under another pair of shorts. The multiple layers, combined with constantly moving legs, requires frequent readjustment and even then can easily result in some painful chafing.My first ride in this suit was a revelation... clearly there's a reason triathletes use these suits: they are form fitting, wick sweat away from your body, dry quickly, and because they don't require layers there's nothing to bunch up and create irritations. I chose to wear a UV blocking t-shirt over the top but if sleeveless works for you, or you'll be swimming in it, this onesie is all you'll need.

Nice kit
I've started competing in triathlons and prefer the sleeveless tri suits. I've purchased a Zoot (which is the gold standard in my opinion). This isn't that caliber, but it's also not as expensive. I do like the fit and I feel like the chamois is pretty good too. I'm definitely going to use it.

Lightweight and comfortable
This triathlon suit is very comfortable to wear. Easy to take on and off and wicks moisture easily. There were no scratchy feel or tags to worry about. The zipper is easy to operate. Overall, it is a good suit for all around.

Basic
Decent daily use. When you want to save the nice stuff for something good and just need something basic to get you through. Nothing spectacular, nothing horrible. 2 small pockets at the base of the color panels.
