Hey, considering a short tri at the end of the month and looking for a tri top or suit. Looking for an inexpensive investment, as I don't do many triathlons.

Forgive the ignorance, but do I swim in the tri top or put it on after the swim?

Anyway, I am 6' 190, probably around a 41" chest. I am built more like griepel and Kittel than Chris Froome!

Anyone have something?

I have a TYR suit that is like new. It is an XL. I am 6'1" 200lbs. with a 44" chest and it is tight on me. Should be a perfect fit for you. Send me your number and I'll send photos. How does $30 shipped CONUS sound?

I have a de Soto forza top bottom set if interested, large top, I think xl bottoms. The top is pretty tight you might have to put it on bottom to top

Definitely recommend a one piece.

Swimming with a top creates more drag and attempting to put a top on in transition isn’t easy. Unless you’re using a swimskin, I’d stay away from a 2 piece.

Thanks for the advice and offers. Still waiting to hear back on the XL TYR suit. Anyone else have anything?
