Sleeved Tri suit/top?
Quote | Reply
I just spent a hour researching and I'm now confused more than before.
-Can't have wrinkles.
-How quickly can put in on in T1 is important...best if wettie swim.
-New WTC rules allowing sleeves on swim "may" help - personally I don't want to swim with a sleeved top if it is a non-wettie swim.
-Taking into account the above, how much is it possible to save in an IM bike? I've seen 10-14 watts which seems to me to be too good to be true (approx how many min over 112 m will a 10 watt saving get you?)

if a race is non-wetsuit legal, then you are not allowed to wear a sleeved top during the swim. i'm pretty sure craig alexander got DQ'd for that at honolulu 70.3 a year or two ago.

if it is wetsuit legal, why wouldn't you wear it under your wetsuit? seems to be a waste of time during transition.

That was correct, 3-4 days ago. However, WTC just changed their rules for 2016 season a couple days ago. It's now legal in all swims.

they are tight and can be uncomfortable to swim in (zipped up)
