links to past 2 yrs threads:
-- 2014: http://forum.slowtwitch.com/...post=5040792#5040792
-- 2015: http://forum.slowtwitch.com/...o%20suit%20;#5416939


For those looking for a new suit to test (like myself) or maybe just to buy hope this provides some useful info.
I called or emailed all the companies below to try to get most accurate info. If I left off a suit let me know and i can edit this thread accordingly.


So here we go:

Pearl Izumi Octane: 300$
-- No update in 2016

Kiwami: wings aero jacket (169$) and Spider LD Aero ($?)
-- cut and paste from their email back to me: "The Kona Wings jackets were introduced late this year, just in the US. The full rollout is planned for early '16. The Spider LD Aero is completely new for '16...... It has all the bells and whistles to combine speed and functionality. From the results we got, it's faster than what was considered the fastest suits. So we're looking forward to a successful 16......."

Scody Optimise A.I.R: 249$
-- Will see "revamped" option, but not till end of 2016.

LG Course M-2: 300$
-- Only change is color change in 2016

Wattie Ink: $?
-- new set up coming in spring; tri-shorts with aero jersey: "Heather Jackson has been racing in this most of this year with great success"

I'm excited about the updated Castelli suit and the Kiwami suit. The Roka suit interest me too.

thanks for this. I love the scody AIR suits. I wonder what 'revamped' means

from scody:
"With the suit, we are looking at a bit of a revamp at the moment, it will not be released for some time yet. It could be about 6 months until the testing is completed and the new design is approved. Then there would also be some time until retail designs are completed and available.
We have the first concept done however it is yet to be tested by our athletes.
The same fabric will remain through the shoulders however there will be changes to the side panels and the rear pockets. I would love to give you some more details however I hope you can understand why I can not.
At around this same time we are also looking at bring out a 2 piece sleeved option."

All black is slick! After racing all yr in the Octane with its minimal padding and broken zipper issues i am happy to be looking at other options. Kiwami has my full attention and i am super stoked to bring this into the tunnel this winter. The padding of wattie's gear is like ridding on a pillow so interested to see what they have to offer as well. Of course if i can find something to match the bike that would just be icing on the cake.

I'm a Castelli fan but I do have a Kiwami suit I race in. I guess I may have to buy both and take them to the tunnel! Kiwami makes great suits

I handled the Kona Wings short sleeve jersey at ITU Chicago. It had a very unusual texture on the sleeves and my first impression was "this has potential". There's no way of knowing without testing, obviously, but it was pronounced enough that if it worked it was going to work well.

Looks like you missed off Virklon, who should be considered for the price if nothing else. I think they were on the 2015 thread.

Huub DS long course

I'm anxious to see this one, given their awesome cut and tailoring and fabric selection of their swim skins

Me too. Would be interesting to know whether it will be updated in 2016.

For me the Castelli kit looks very interesting.

There's something coming out soon from Endura that looks pretty interesting http://www.endurasport.com/blog/?BlogID=481 based on the Drag2Zero skinsuit pedigree.


Although, a Ł295.00 potential price tag would be steep ... http://www.endurasport.com/...il.asp?ProductID=873

Yep, I agree. I feel like every company wants a piece of this market. Unless you test, you won't know which suit is fastest for you. Therefore, I vote the Castelli Free San Remo looks the best for me.

Seems odd that nobody has mentioned TYR, since they are the official supplier of team USA suits.
