ZootMen’s Core Tri Tank Racesuit, Sleeveless Triathlon Suit, Swim Bike Run Chamois Pad, Pockets, UPF 50+ Quick Dry Fabric

This suit has been great for the two events I have used it for (sprint distance triathlons). This is my first tri suit so I have nothing to compare to, however at this point I would say that it performs very well for the skill level that I possess.I’m approximately 69 inches and roughly 200 pounds. I ordered a size Large and this worked well for me. I would consider myself to have broad shoulders and athletic/stocky upper body, I have a small pudge beer gut, and about average size/athletic quads. As I mention elsewhere in the review, this is skin tight for me, but not uncomfortable. I’m sure size is a very important factor for ordering as it was for me and I’ve included two pictures to show fit and I hope that helps someone…It is skin tight, clearly, but not constricting and there are no “hot spots” where there is extra pressure on any of my body parts. I have a full range of motion for all events and never had to adjust it whatsoever during either race.Swimming in it felt completely natural.After both a 12 ish mile bike ride and an 18 ish mile bike ride, my sit bones (which hadn’t fully adjusted to being on a saddle again, running those tri’s was kind of a whim) we’re plenty comfortable. The chamois built in was plenty for these shorter distances. I’m positive I could stay in the saddle longer and still feel comfortable.The suit performed well in the run event too. I couldn’t feel the chamois while walking or running, very unlike a standard pair of cycling shorts. I unzipped part way during the run and the suit stayed put, no sliding around or hot spots.My ONLY complaint is the pocket along the rear of the suit.. once wet, I personally cannot find either opening (double sided like a front hoody pocket). I tried and tried and tried to stuff empty Gu packets in here but for the life of me couldn’t catch the opening. Is it a deal breaker? Absolutely not. I’m sure if I practice finding it, for about 30 seconds pre race, I’d be fine but I wanted to at least put it out there.

this tri suit is great. It’s great and is very comfortable on long rides. No chafing.
