Swim skins? Any recs?
Quote | Reply
All,

I'm starting to look at getting a swim skin for this season. I've never tried one and am looking for suggestions. I'm 5'2", 140 lbs. I wear medium Voler shorts and on the border between med and large in SOAS gear. I have the quads of a track cyclist and the shoulders of a sprinter, so ... basically a fireplug!

I was thinking about the Roka swim skin, but it looks like I am too heavy/short. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

(On an unrelated note, why is that as soon as I find a pair of tri shorts I love, I find that they've been discontinued. Happened with the Athleta Queen K shorts, and I've just now picked up a few pairs of close-out Nike shorts at a race expo. They're wonderful, but no longer available. Grrr.)

I find the Zoot products do a very good job on sizing.
I worked there for several years, and the team was fanatic about proper sizing.
If you find the legs too long, you can get the suit altered.

Thanks! I'll take a look. I hadn't considered Zoot because their shorts grippers used to be soooo tight.
