Review on Pearl Izumi Men's Elite Inrcool Tri Suit: The Ultimate Performance Gear by Keith Samuel

Revainrating 4 out of 5

First triathlon suit, fits like a glove.

I'm 5'11", 165 pounds, have broad shoulders and bought a size medium. I was a bit worried about the size based on other reviews, but the product fits perfectly. I find the suede a bit thin and couldn't imagine going a longer distance of 70.3 in a suit. Of course, suede is thinner because you'll be swimming/walking in it, just don't do it unless you're not uncomfortable on long rides. I mostly got it for shorter sprints where the T1 transition time is very important; Otherwise I wear what is most comfortable. I'm a big fan of the Peal Izumi Elite running shorts, they are the only running shorts that don't chafe on my inner thighs on long runs, which is the main reason I looked at the Izumi Trisuit. I like their products. Trisuit is very thin; I'm not sure if this is a quality issue or a design decision. Only time will tell how it holds up. The pockets on the back overlap which makes them a bit difficult to reach, but I think keeping them from flapping in the wind or worse in the water is a good thing. Good luck and move faster with this costume. so you don't have to run so fast to beat your friends :)
