Review on 🏊 Enhance Your Performance with Sparx Women's Triathlon Suit: Tri Short for Racing, Cycling, Swimming, and Running by Josh Garber

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A durable suit for beginner triathletes!

New Triathlete Review! I'm new to triathlon - this is my first suit. This is my run/swim/bike review - to help those trying to find their first/next suit! hips. Received a medium size suit - it fits "as expected", with the caveat that it fits the figure very well. I have a short torso so the material has a little bunching in the middle, but I'll probably have that problem with any suit. It would probably be ideal for women under 5ft 5 - might be too short for taller women. The material is a bit thin. My belly button was probably visible when wet. I wear it with a sports bra and quick-dry panties to keep essentials hidden. The suit is made of thin suede. Haven't made the brick yet - so not sure how quickly it dries after bathing. There is a lot of freedom of movement in the shoulders, but the back is mostly covered and protected from the sun. ***Run Report* *** 45 mins / 5 miles run around noon (80F)πŸƒπŸ»β€β™€οΈ Run in suede shorts for the first time - not much, I wasn't afraid of getting rubbed so I did a little Body slip applied to the upper inner thighs, right into the cover - no chafing or irritation from suede πŸƒπŸ»β€β™€οΈ the whole suit stayed in place - the bottom part of the shorts didn't move, the mitral part of the top moved not.πŸƒπŸ»β€β™€οΈ I got used to running in suede pretty quickly and didn't even notice it after the first 10 minutes πŸƒπŸ»β€β™€οΈ sweating pulled out of the suit - I felt pretty comfortable given the temperature - during the entire run πŸƒπŸ»β€β™€οΈ the shorts don't have much compression - so if you're used to it or if you run 10,000km+ you might want to consider a suit with better leg compression*** Cycling Review****One hour/20 km bike lost g at night.πŸš΄β€β™€οΈ The shorts stayed in place - a few marks around the hips - but didn't chafe πŸš΄β€β™€οΈ Suede offered adequate protection (and didn't go too far in the front or back),πŸš΄β€β™€οΈ Sweat dripped off my body on the outside of the suit.πŸš΄β€β™€οΈ There are pockets but not too deep. MovementπŸŠβ€β™€οΈ the elastic on the legs held the shorts in place for 30 minutes of gentle swimmingπŸŠβ€β™€οΈ the material is a bit sticky in the middle and probably a little see through so my belly button is probably clearly visible but the bottom is black and I'm wearing a sports bra, important details are hidden there.πŸŠβ€β™€οΈ it has thin suede - I didn't notice it at all while swimming βœ…
