What is a triathlon suit?
A men’s or ladies tri suit is a single item of triathlon gear designed to be worn across all three disciplines. So you should be able to comfortably and effectively swim, bike, and run in one piece of kit.
Do you need a tri suit for a triathlon?
If you’re just new to the sport, it’s probably too early to invest in the best tri suit on the market. But, trust us, this is one addictive event! So, when you have a few more races under your belt and you know you’ve got the bug, we highly recommend you buy a men’s or ladies tri suit, particularly for race day. Not having to change clothes in T1 or T2 will greatly reduce your time, meaning you can fly from one discipline to the next. Kit is designed to transition seamlessly from the water to the bike to the run, making you as aerodynamic and comfortable as possible.
Should you wear underwear underneath a triathlon suit?
Whether you’re considering purchasing a men’s or ladies triathlon suit, we recommend you avoid wearing undies. Doing so will just contribute to unnecessary friction. However, be sure to purchase good quality kit that is not see-through (and test this by bending over in the riding position so you can stretch fabric and ensure it’s not transparent).
