Review on ๐ŸŠ Pearl Izumi Elite Intercool Tri Suit for Men by Mark Marcellus

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great tri suit for the price

I have had other tri suits and have seen several athletes wear Izumi suits during the various triathlons I have competed in. I bought this as a spare suit and have made it my main suit ever since. It fits well and the mesh back is breathable, which is very comfortable on hot bike and running routes. This suit also has lower back pockets for gel packs, eliminating the need for a larger racing belt with pockets. That can be annoying. The seams are strong and the suit flexes a little when you put it on, so you can put your hands in it without incident. However, this suit is not a compression suit and there is less saddle padding in the crotch than I am used to. Made for some muscle soreness on long bike rides which is why I gave it a 4/5. In the past I've had suits where lightning would rub my chest and cause redness. This costume poses no such problem. This is a perfectly comfortable suit.

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Lots of stuff
