Hello Fellow Triathletes, Does anybody know of a tri suit brand that will personalize a speed suit besides Love The Pain?
Looking for all black. Adding Last name and possible number.
Any ideas would be great. Even if it’s a third party.
I'm a bit confused. Do you want a tri suit or a speedsuit/skinsuit?
You say "a tri suit brand". That's why I ask as they're a bit different. Also, I'd avoid buying one with a permanent number on it versus a Nopinz pocket. UCI and USAC hand you numbers.......TT and for track racing. I would assume triathlon even would be the same, needing to change numbers at some point. Even if you DO have the same number for a period of time, I wouldn't invest in a suit with a permanent number on it even if I did get custom "Team" graphics for it. Even with the "Team" graphics, if your team isn't a high dollar team that will replace it the second a sponsor changes..........I would try to stick with just the overall team name and graphics and not go crazy with sponsor logos that might change in a month.
Our bike race team is changing a sponsor this year and I was about to buy a nice cyclocross suit. Good thing I waited.
Just be aware also that for skinsuits that companies will often sell one model for people riding below 28mph or so and one for people riding 28mph or faster. And apparently it can matter a LOT which model you purchase. That speed might be different depending on the company also.
It seems the charts most places advertise seem to have the gains at the "split point" of 27 to 29mph being "break even" to be safe buying either suit. But much less or much more....go with the other model for sure.
I've not tried that. I can't afford testing out different custom made suits.
Good luck.
