Re: Tall triathlete - gear information sharing [IM-Yeti]
6'5", 220.

Ditto on the DeSoto 2 piece, love it - I think I went XL on the pants and XXL on top...or L on pants, XL on top. DeSoto, for me, always runs small/tight/"big guy in a little coat". Had a couple of their 400 mile bibs and liked 'em but always felt snug in XL's and pulled on my shoulders.

Ditto on the Blackbibs - I went with the Large Tall bibs, love 'em. Looking at getting their skinsuit as well for local TT's and maybe even tri's depending how it feels.

I have yet to find a tri-suit that agrees with me. I had an Endura D2Zero that I actually really loved and felt like the fit was good - tight but not clamping down on my shoulders like most. It was a major f'n chore to get on and off - forget about leaving the top down during the swim then putting it on in T1, it would have been impossible. Taking it off after being all sweated up pretty much involved dislocating a shoulder. If they made the zipper just a few inches longer it would have been total game changer. The reason I say I had 'em is because eventually I won the fight getting them on one day...and destroyed 'em.
