It is also really ugly but cassettes are back in style so their mixtape collection is sure to be hot.

I agree they're on the upper end already, cool looking kit but not $550 cool. I'm more into fit and function... btw check out some of their pros, they may have a discount code they can toss your way.

It's not even black!!!

Their "punk" styled one is such a cliché

Ooooh!!! We'll make it look like torn up headlines and throw an Anarchy "A" on there! That'll give us Punk cred

Like I've said before, unless you know who Arturo Vega is, and know more songs than "I Wanna Be Sedated" &"Blitzkrieg Bop" you shouldn't be allowed to wear a Ramones shirt

A real punk would do a triathlon only by wearing a kit he got from a thrift store [or Target/Walmart] on a stolen bike, and entering with a fake bib

ETA: Joe Strummer ran both London and Paris Marathons

"What's your claim?" - Ben Gravy
"Your best work is the work you're excited about" - Rick Rubin

I tend to agree and would not purchase one of their stock kits. The "undisputed" isn't bad. I like mine because of the team colors and I will say that its pretty comfy.

All of their designs are terrible. Ed Hardy of the triworld. If you wear that everyone knows you want to smash. Go down to the Jersey shore and drink and party.

How about a Spotify playlist?

"What's your claim?" - Ben Gravy
"Your best work is the work you're excited about" - Rick Rubin

Such a joke. I've been in this sport for around 15 years.... But the past two years were basically non racing years. Back at it this year, and I just shake my head at the rocketing prices in the sport, as I've browsed around at gear. And this is perhaps the best, or more accurately, worst example.
I make good money, but there's no chance I'll lay out $550 for a tri suit! With taxes, exchange rates, and duty that'd be like $800 Canadian!
I said it's a joke, but, imo, it's really a shame.

Hey now ... there's no call for that

And Ed Hardy was a Nazi

exactly Ed hardy of the tri world is the best description of these heinously ugly kits. I would only wear one of the classics. https://www.wattieink.com/.../classics-collection

2019 T-Rex Tri Series

You know it's true.

Let me preface this by saying that the I could never justify paying $550 for a tri suit, but this video of them making the suit popped up on my Instagram, and it's kind of cool: https://vimeo.com/223441050

It's a "luxury" suit. It's hand sewn and hand printed. It appeals to people who can appreciate extravagant artistry--the same people who reap enjoyment by drinking a $1,000 bottle of wine or wearing a $100,000 vintage Patek Philippe watch. I personally emphasize function over symbolic luxury when it comes to tri suits and wouldn't be able to justify the cost; however, I don't think it's "shameful" nor am I "offended." It's not like they're arbitrarily assigning an obscene price tag to a typical mass produced tri suit manufactured in Bangladesh and trying to peddle it to us. It looks like a lot of time/labor goes into creating each of these "special edition" suits and I doubt their profit margins are that obscene.

But yes. I agree with everyone's visceral reaction. It's crazy expensive for a tri suit.

It better be worth at least 10 seconds over 180k.

All I Wanted Was A Pepsi, Just One Pepsi

Team Zoot, Team Zoot Mid-Atlantic

I don't know, John Joseph has done a dozen or more Ironmans, including Kona.

I think he rides a Felt and pays for his entries.

Sometimes I see things that are way, way way over-priced and just think how are these companies getting any business in this shit economic climate. Well it's shit it in Australia anyway, not sure about the US.

Good point

Yea, IMO that is absolutely ridiculous, but I do not value race suits at the price, nor do I think many others do.

However, someone does, and Wattie believes they can sell 50 at that price point.....and they will.

Price your product at what the market values it at.

Ugly..just like Heather Jackson's bike and kit every year
