Review on 🏊 Stay Cool and Perform with Pearl Izumi Women's Elite Intercool Tri Suit by Doug Layman

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Super, but a little abrasive

This review was written by my wife: Suit fits great. I'm 5ft 3in, 137lbs and the average size fits me. I really like the design and the matching sports bra. Before ordering I was concerned that a medium sized sports bra wouldn't fit me properly as I have small breasts and usually wear a size small, but that's not a problem - both the suit and the bra fit well. I haven't raced in the suit yet, only tried it on a training swim. I was a little disappointed that after swimming 1 mile I felt some chafing in my side under my arm. This doesn't happen to me when I'm wearing a sports swimsuit and swimming the same distance. The easy fix is to just use Body Glide or some other anti-chafing lube to prevent this - it's no big deal to put on an anti-chafing product, but I wish I didn't have to.
