Review on Sparx X Triathlon Suit: Ultimate Performance Gear for Men's Racing, Cycling, Swimming, and Running by David Silva

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fits like a glove, great price, used for olympic triathlon.

(Additional update to follow after race ends) Ordered a medium red suit Height - 5ft 10.5in Weight - 165lbs Athletic overall build To be honest at this price point you probably won't find anything better, especially if you are just starting out in the sport do yourself a favor and try it out ) no problems and my first time in a suit like this. Fits perfectly, seriously, no complaints at all. It's a little weird not wearing underwear while you work out, but it's okay. (The black part of the suit rises high enough that you don't have to worry about the crowd flashing. The bulges are there, but there's nothing you can do about it.) Rinse with hot water before use, as I've heard have found that colors can bleed and I've had no problems. If you use chlorine be sure o soak it in a little fresh water when you're done) I was worried I was thinking of bags that create extra resistance in the water but to be honest if they were , I wouldn't have noticed, which was a great relief. Actually I felt very fast in the pool. The pockets on the back are perfect for everything you could want. Elasticated legs keep the suit in place. The fabric protects the zipper, so no corners and edges. I will end with a note on body awareness. To be honest, triathlon suits leave very little to the imagination, so you know what's included. I mentioned that the black goes far enough that there is no see-through problem. Remember, you don't have to wear a triathlon suit, make sure you wear what you're comfortable in. At the same time you are a triathlete. Be proud no matter what you look like, you are doing something amazing and if you want to wear a tri suit, DO IT!
