Great price/great product

I'm doing this review for my wife. She said it was great quality at a great price. She bought for the triathlon, and this year she did it for the second time.

Pros
  • Machine washable
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging

Thin but good enough for short runs

I got it right once but it feels a bit loose and very thin. I would like a little more compression. I almost got it back but decided to keep it to myself it would be fine if I did some small sprint trikes.

Pros
  • ELITE Transfer Cool black In-R-Cool fabric for superior cooling and reflective sun protection
Cons
  • Off Fashion

Gets looser when wet

Should have noted the review material stretches when wet. I have the large size (I usually wear US6, wide hips and thighs) but I think a medium size would fit better. Not very compressive but comfortable and non-chafing. It was my first time in a multisport race and that was enough.

Pros
  • ELITE Transfer In-R-Cool fabric with Sport Lycra added to allow garments to retain their original compression
Cons
  • Could have gone for a newer model

Good starter suit, suitable for triathlon

Used for training and triathlon. It's thin so I don't know how long it will last. I've used it about 4/5 times. Not much support in the crotch so I had to wear cycling shorts. It comes with a bra underneath so if you get hot you can unzip it and reveal your stomach area. Also, I would recommend a numbered belt as the fabric is too thin for safety pins.

Pros
  • ELITE Transfer Aero fabric strategically placed for excellent aerodynamics, separate bra top offers maximum support and makes the suit easy to put on and take off
Cons
  • Easy to care for

Women's Triathlon Pearl iZUMi Elite Pursuit, Black/Clementine, Large Design was different from the first The one in the photo has pink Side panels and a pink back. The one I received has black side panels and a teal striped back. I won't return it as I need the costume and I care more about the function, but the products must be exactly as the picture shows, otherwise the online stores don't work well. Neither design looks particularly cute, but I buy this brand for the superior functionalityโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Merrow stitch construction for superior skin-to-skin comfort, 10"
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
