Review on Sparx X Triathlon Suit: Ultimate Performance Gear for Men's Racing, Cycling, Swimming, and Running by Edward Freeland

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The bike is good. Dries quickly after bathing

I've swum and biked a few times in this suit but wanted to wait until I had some practice before writing a review. Swimming - Under TYR Hurricane Cat Wetsuit 1. The wetsuit is 5mm thick and will be a little warm in the chest. I'm not sure if this is normal for other triathlon suits as I've swum in sweater shorts most of the time. There are fewer problems if I leave the zipper partially open. The bike is good. Dries quickly after bathing. I like the little pockets on the leg. It is convenient to store the gel and easy to access. The back pocket feels a bit low and flat. My Galaxy Note 8 sticks out about 1 inch from the top. Don't worry about it falling out. Running - there are no special requirements. Somewhere down the 4th mile it got a little shabby but it didn't really get too bad. I'll probably try to counter that with Body Glide. Overall happy with my purchase. To update:. My zipper broke the morning before my Half Ironman. The zipper had lost its grip on the opposite side and just moved up and down without closing. I didn't have a choice, so I cut off some of the zipper's prongs at the bottom so I could insert the prongs into the zipper. It worked and I stuck a safety pin over the cut out teeth to keep them from opening and tearing too deeply. It was a tense few minutes while I had to deal with it. It held up during my triathlon. I'm not coming back so I don't know what to do now.
