Choosing a Tri Suit

Whether you are a man or a woman, when it comes to choosing a race suit there are two options.

All in One Tri Suits

The most common suit these days is an all in one tri suit. You can wear this for the whole event, even if it is a non wetsuit swim, and there is less chance of chaffing. The material is suitable to swim in and dries out fast. Some suits also wick sweat away from the body too.

Two Piece Tri Suits

The two piece suit is rarely seen these days, and the only reason people tend to wear them is because they feel a bit restricted in a one piece. The two piece tri suit offers a bit more flexibility and will keep you a fraction cooler in hot conditions.

Whichever style you choose, a tri suit should always be very tight fitting so that it keeps shape during the swim and doesn’t flap around on the bike. Although triathlon suits are designed to be tight fit, there should certainly not be any restriction in your breathing.
