Review on Sparx X Men's Racing Triathlon Suit: Tri Cycling Skin Suit for Bike, Swim, Run by Daniel Aboubakar

Revainrating 5 out of 5

New to triathlon on a budget. First impressions.

UPDATED: I just completed my first sprint triathlon in this suit and it performed BEAUTIFUL! They fit great, dried faster than I expected and had more than enough cushioning for a 15 mile bike ride. I'm very glad I didn't go for the $130 option at the specialty store and I would recommend this product to any newbie! I look forward to the next race in this suit! I just started triathlon and needed a suit for the first time. Didn't want to spend a lot of money so bought based on reviews. I'm 6ft 215ft and not at all ship shaped (chest 44", waist 36"). Size XXL fits me perfectly! The material is smooth and not as thin as I feared. It hides all charms well, and black and gray even thinned my figure. The suede seems to be enough, and apart from being slightly smaller (less area) than my regular cycling shorts, it doesn't make much of a difference. 4 storage pockets are great! They're a bit small and open at the top so they can create a little drag in the water, but that doesn't bother me too much. Based on my initial fears after a lot of research (having tried MUCH more expensive options in specialty stores) I can say I'm very happy with the potential of this suit. If it holds together and works well after my first event, I'll add a 5th star! I'm sure I'll update as I get deeper into the sport, but $50 as an initial investment is definitely a steal! In the meantime, thanks to Sparx and thanks to the seller!
