Just an aside, you may already know. I don't think the DeSoto purchased custom stuff is the same as the actual DeSoto stuff. I might be wrong but I thought they went through a different company called something 'Bay'. Worth looking into if you are basing a purchasing decision on actual DeSoto stuff.

I have used Champ Systems and Voler.

Champ Systems is way cheaper, low minimums. I didn't like the shorts but have both standard tri suit and the next version up from that. I like both. Poor communication. Ok service.

Voler shorts were nicer. I got the Forza fabric. The tri shorts are good. I do not have a tri suit from them. Great customer service and communication.

I had some example kits sent from LG and DeSoto too (I think DeSoto) From what I remember both were good quality. LG was probably the best out of all of the above but more expensive.

Someone mentioned Primal. I saw them at the Tour d Palm Springs last year. Their booth had some examples and both the print and the quality of the clothing were fantastic. From what I saw and what I remember I would consider going back to those guys for my next kit ordrer.

Most companies send a sample kit. Make use of it. It completely changed my opinions on some stuff. When you order make sure you get a sizing kit sent too as I vary from a medium to XL in various different Champ Systems stuff.

I mainly got the impression that, across the board, you get what you pay for.

Just my 2C
