What to wear?

Tri-suits cook me on hot humid days. I prefer to do the event in a speedo for comfort. If using a
Tri-suit with no pockets then I take a [censored] pack along on the run or use what the course has to
offer. Some event require a top and in that case I simply wear a tri top which can be pulled up some
for cooling at times.

I like the tri suit on cool days otherwise it's speedo or what the race director allows. "Cow

I can only do 3 Tris per year, next year I will do maybe 2 half IM and 1 Olympic, what should I
race in, I like the idea of a tri suit but where do you put the gels and nutrition you need on the
long distance tris?

How tight do they feel on? How tight do they need to be?

Is cooling down a problem in very hot weather - they get too hot (I was baked in my tris this year
and I only wore swimming trunks and a very thin running vest! - that felt OK but I think I might
need a bit of gusset padding for longer rides, but then does that get in the way in the run?

Is it necessary to train in them to get used to them?

Any advice would be very much apreciated, recommendations will be very welcome

Thanks

Hello, My name is Emilio De Soto. I make triathlon clothing. Obviously you will think my responses
are biased to my own products, but we take things a step further.

We make a number of tri suits, in particular, our Power Skinsuits are used by more traithletes that
all other brands combined. If you would like more information on them, I will gladly send you a
