2 part long course tri set for ladies... suggestions?
Quote | Reply
I was tasked with finding the impossible present for my wife: a 2 part long course tri set.

I am at a loss. I have been using HUUB for a few years for myself so that mostly what I know. However, I have read on and off that there are some pretty cool ladies tri suit designs out there.

Any suggestions?

You might get more info in the women's forum.

But to be clear, you are asking about a 2 piece tri kit that is comfortable over what length of time? 5 h, 10 h, 17 h? (It's a bit unusual to describe cloths in parts)

Some things to know for us to help you would be if she has particular issues to address. Eg - a friend of mine has a long torso and hates when tops scoot up to expose her mid section. I have a short torso but wide hips and my tops also scoot up. I have a Desoto kit with hooks in the back hem of the top that catch eyes in the shorts. That stayed in place brilliantly and I used that kit for a 14 h race. However I now find the padding a bit too much in those shorts (now using different bike and saddle combo).

Also I've found some companies cut their tops in a way that I assume they are targeting bustier women. So if there is a particular end of that spectrum she's in, that might influence a suggestion.

Good luck.

Apologies, I didn't mean two part. I did mean two piece tri suit (as in top and shorts).

She has a normal trisuit from TYR that she hates because it makes her feel like a sausage.
She is wider than the normal triathlete. She has a body builder body meaning she's wider on the hips and shoulders and busty. She would definitely not appreciate the top scoot up.

In any case, I will repost this on the womens forum. Thanks for the suggestion, didn't know there was one.

Kiwami, and Andre has a killer sale on right now. The ladies gear is really sharp looking and performs very well.
