Re: How is a tri suit supposed to fit? (Roka) [davejustdave]

Wrinkles = bad.

How does it feel when you run?

I actually haven't tried to run with it on or do much more than walk around a bit - want to make sure I'm respecting the return policy. :) But I think that it should feel fine on the run if I unzip the front a bit as the other guys suggested!

I definitely size myself to unzip the front a bit on the run. If when you’re standing straight fully zipped it’s a little tight that’s probably about right. Once you’re in the aero position on the bike the tightness sits just right and keeps anything from hanging loose or ballooning. Or at least that’s what works for me.

That's a very fair point. I just hopped on the bike with it on and it does indeed feel much better.

As you guys suggested, I took some photos of what it looks like while on the bike (see here). There's a lot of wrinkling in the sleeves from the front. Keep in mind this is without me adjusting it for the photo - just wearing the suit as I would and getting down into the aero bars.

Not sure if I should rule out this suit based on the wrinkling - what say you guys? Can I realistically expect a better fit by trying out some additional suits? And assuming I found a suit that had less wrinkling, are we talking a 2w advantage here or 10w?

Thanks again for excellent advice!
