Help! What's my best option for a hot race?

Oct 5, 15 14:53

Arizona 70.3 in two weeks, likely mid-80's, not sure if I want to use my Black DeSoto Forza ensemble (thick material + dark color = heat stroke).

Just wondering what STers think is the best gear for hot conditions?

doesn't the Desoto Forza use coldblack fabric? It should be nice and cool especially if you wet it. I've raced St Croix in a black Desoto Liftfoil and it was great - I think it might be the same fabric

You might be right, I'm going off perception, fabric "feels" heavier than my Castelli or Zoot kit.
