I just sprint on a whim and don't plan on making it a habit so I wouldn't want to invest much more than $40 for that cost. Overall I'm happy with my choice. I tested the suit on several bike/run combinations and one swim/bike combination. It will definitely work in the short term, but I would choose something different if I run long distances or even compete regularly in short events. The padding is enough for a trouble-free ride and thin enough that I don't notice it while running. . The material seems to dry fairly quickly and was comfortable during and after the swim. So far I haven't had any skin problems while wearing it. Sizing Note: At 6 feet, 160 pounds, 30" waist and 39" chest, I took a medium size. Fit is decent. The length is good but a little loose in the middle. The leg straps are snug so I'm not sure I could handle that a little. It's definitely looser than I'm used to from cycling shorts. It's also thinner/less supportive for the front, making me feel more "out there". I'll try to remember to tug on the area a bit after the swim so I don't show the sealed trash for race photos. Considerations: - Lack of pockets is a disadvantage, but it can be solved for a short event. I use a racing belt for my number and it has gel holders. On training rides, I had nowhere to put the trash, so I put it in a bandage. During the race there may be places where you can throw garbage. Zipper at back. The front zip easily unzips for ventilation and makes the suit easier to put on and take off. Then you also need to tuck in the long straps needed to open the zipper. The underside of the zipper (the material that the zipper attaches to, which is sewn to the suit) has a few barbed ends that bother me when standing around, but I don't notice or rub them during activity. The suit is stiff enough to work with so I don't waste time putting the HRM on after a swim (I can't wear it in the water).
