Review on Stay Cool and Ready to Sprint with the RunBreeze Women's Triathlon Suit: Breathable, Quick-Drying, with Convenient Dual Rear Pockets by Gabriel Tomato

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not big enough for those powerful thighs!

I purchased the medium sized fabric on the recommendation of another reviewer at 5ft 8in and weighs about 150lbs. I'm obviously training for a triathlon :) that's why I need this article. But I found a pretty nasty design flaw that on the legs is a very narrow band of silicone and spandex that really bothers my thighs. It's a great material, the shoulder straps are comfortable in the pool, but when running or cycling my legs just don't get the blood flow they need. My hips are 22.5 inches at their widest point, and the inch-thick strip (which is also at their widest point) causes a large bulge at the top and bottom. I liked it enough that I ripped the stitching and cut the rubber and silicone strip in half and it seems to take some of the strain out of it, and it was cheap enough that I don't want to return it. I would say my feet need to be about 1.5 to 2 inches smaller in girth for the medium to work without change.

Pros
  • High quality technical fabrics with a wide range of features for maximum performance and comfort
Cons
  • fade
