Review on 🏊 Sparx Men's Elite Triathlon Suit: The Ultimate Swim-Bike-Run Trisuit for Speed and Performance by James Trapkin

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Decent triple suit for the price - Few flaws

Pros - Decent build and materials, medium rise was almost perfect for me (5ft 11in, 162lbs). The suede pad is great for riding; I was able to do 3 or so 90+ miles and didn't feel uncomfortable. The suit was comfortable for both traveling and jogging. Jog - once for 8 miles and the second time for 13 miles. Needless to say, I was in a lot of pain afterwards. I think it has to do with the amount of moisture it traps in the pad, but for long distance competitions you wouldn't hesitate to use it for Olympic or short distance competitions. ; It's not one of them, but for the price it's a good value if you don't want to spend more than $150. I've also heard stories of these racing suits falling apart after repeated washings during weekly use; I would probably only use it for real racing and pre-race training stones, not everyday use. While swimming I felt more resistance than if I was just wearing my speedo mufflers. Again, probably because the material is your standard lycra and not one of the new high tech fabrics.

Pros
  • Skin suits
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
