THE TRISUIT = A 3 IN 1 PRODUCT
The trisuit is an iconic accessory for triathletes and a staple for triathlons.
- For swimming, its fabric is similar to that of a swimsuit.
- For cycling, its fine, soft skin adapts to your body shape and improves sitting comfort. The trisuit acts like cycling shorts, to be worn without underwear.
- For running, its fine gel skin is almost unnoticeable: you can run lightly.
All you have to focus on is crossing the finish line!
THE SMALL DETAILS THAT CHANGE EVERYTHING!
- This trisuit has thermoformed elastic at the arms and thighs, so doesn't move during use or when putting on a neoprene suit for the swimming leg.
- The full-length zip opens like a gilet and allows you to ventilation during the race. It also makes toilet stops a lot easier!
- The top of the trisuit is made of very lightweight material for more comfort and quick drying. The “shorts” part offers very good support.
A TRISUIT ADAPTED TO WOMEN'S BODY SHAPE
Overall, this trisuit is wider than the men's suit. It's fabric provides all the support and comfort you need for natural movement, without compressing. Its fine, super stretch gel skin adapts perfectly to your body shape and offers a good comfort density. A lining was added at the chest to conceal the bust of women triathletes who don't wear a bra, although we recommend wearing one.
A PRODUCT DESIGNED TO CARRY NUTRITION
To get to the finish line of a short-distance triathlon (3 to 6 hours of exertion), you need to eat! This trisuit has two thermoformed pockets on the thighs: you won't feel them as they are seamless and zip-free, plus the products they hold are under tension and don't move.
There are also two net pockets at your lower back. In total with these four pockets, you can carry 10 bars and/or gels for refuelling!
Trisuit, triathlon suit, triathlon trisuit... are there differences?
None! It's the same type of triathlon outfit, a 3 in 1 suit: you pick you preferred term.Not to be confused with a neoprene wetsuit which provides buoyancy and insulation for the swim.
Should I put an additional suit to swim?
It depends on the water temperature!
The neoprene suit provides buoyancy, an asset for the swim leg. Good to know: The French Triathlon Federation forbids isothermal swimsuits when the water temperature is above 24°C and makes it compulsory when the temperature goes under 16°C. Between 16 and 24°C, it's up to you.
