Review on ๐ŸŠ Men's Racing Triathlon Suit: Sparx X - Optimal for Tri Cycling, Swimming, and Running by Kyle Herrera

Revainrating 5 out of 5

worth your money! You will not be disappointed.

The suit was perfect for my first sprint triathlon, it was surprisingly cool on a day of 100โฐ and higher temperatures, it even seemed to have a cooling effect. The suit was extremely comfortable in every position I move. It didn't slow down my swim time at all, in fact my swim was faster than usual. I don't know if swimming can be associated with a suit, but riding a bike can. This suit makes a huge difference in my cycling time. Now I wear it every time I ride with faster groups. It slices through the wind like my tricycle. The leg pockets never dropped anything. I feel safe putting my debit card and car key in these leg pockets. The back pockets are positioned in such a way that water does not get in while swimming. The padding is good for sprinting, but I still wear pearlescent Izumi suede underneath for long, fast rides. Even with the additional sweaters or suede shorts, things are a bit more subtle than with my other triathlon suits. This is the one I use more than the ones I've spent hundreds of dollars on. White shines through after bathing, so either cut your hair or choose a different color. It also makes me appear a lot slimmer than I am in real life. I'm 6ft 3in and 225-245lbs. It can be worn with or without sweater shorts, cycling jerseys, or pretty much any combination you want to wear throughout the day. The compression has endured countless miles and washes after every ride with no noticeable shrinkage. I love that you can also roll it up on top for running on very hot days. This suit is better than my expensive ones and I will be buying more for the color options. There doesn't seem to be any reason to worry about its durability, I've swum in chlorinated pools countless times, swam in open water, biked at least 500-1000 miles and walked/jogged about a couple hundred miles. Now it still looks the same as the day I got it on my doorstep. No signs of seam loss or wear. The bags hold tight even without constant stretching, even the bike dirt is washed out immediately. Bought emergency. to get the suit the next day and am so glad it's the one i went with.
