Is Wyn Republic clothing see through?
Quote | Reply
Looking to get a new sleeved tri suit for this season and I really like the Wyn Republic designs. I’m just worried that a lot of their stuff looks super thin (see through). Obviously the Black tri suits aren’t but was interested in the lighter colored stuff. Any experience? I’m a guy so it’s not the end of the world if my nips show but it’s not the look I’d prefer...

I just got one of their black kits (Origins aero) and it is not see through, except the ventilation panels under the armpits.

The light colored stuff (like the trisuit that fades to white on top) is see through -- comfortable and nice to wear, but definitely translucent.

The Ombre or whatever the idiotic fashion that is in nowadays is. However, only when you're sweating and it was designed that way because "tri-chic"

That's in the past and she is returning to racing. Do you avoid Trek because they sponsored Lance?

Do you boycott apparel brands who have sponsored teams that had dopers? Do you avoid Castelli because Froome has some sketchiness?

Hey there -

My husband wears Wyn Republic skin suits in training and racing and the very first edition (white ombre) was a bit on the translucent side when he was sweaty/wet but they've since changed the fabric and the current versions are not translucent at all. Most recently he wore the skin suit for the Belgian Waffle Ride and found it to be super comfortable and chafe-free for all 140 miles... or whatever crazy distance that race was!

It depends on if you think she took it intentionally. I don't know if she did or not. I don't think it can be proven. She was given a 2 year ban because WADA viewed it as unintentional. So again...if she really didn't take it on purpose why should I not support a triathlon company?

no, if you want to purchase from them, go right ahead. i just find it curious that slowtwitch f'n hates dopers but then buys apparel from them. (and I guess I should have stated from the beginning that I wasn't only replying to you, just the thread in general)

I hate dopers just as well as anyone else. I'm just saying they never proved she took it intentionally. Innocent until proven guilty. I think Beth and Luke have made a nice business and their designs are really cool. Therefore, I will support them.

I think the two year ban is the “proven guilty” part.

As a matter of fact, I do avoid Trek because they sponsored Lance.

They make cool stuff and don't have supply chain and customer service problems...move on, or in fact get a life.

I assume that since you completely discredit a company based solely on questionable past behavior, you also refuse to purchase products from companies currently or previously tied to sweatshop labor? Hope you don't own any Nikes and that you aren't posting from an iPhone!

As to the original post.....I don't own any of their stuff but know some people on their team and all their gear is really quite nice with no see-through problems that I have noticed.

Haha Bryan. She was banned for 2 years. She is a drug cheat.

And Froome has not tested positive yet. So all your comments are completely off the mark.

Beth McKenzie is a convicted drug cheat. Yes she will race this weekend at Ironman Australia. And guessing she will win her age group and go to Kona.

I wonder if she is still being drug tested now she no longer races at a professional?

Sweet ignorant post. Once you pop, you get drug tested pretty invasively even after you retire...I have no idea why this happens to folks. But I see it all the time in the NFL and MLB, it's somehow still called random. But it definitely isn't

As a matter of fact, I hate Nike and Apple products. I use Adidas and Samsung. Yup, someone associated with those companies probably sucks too.

But.. I have watched that smug asshole Lance on his Trek for way too many hours of cycling... just can't do Trek. I'll even admit they make damn fine bikes, you just won't get me to ride one.

She's not racing Australia this weekend. Luke is. Beth is racing Cairns in a month. Her pro license is still valid so I doubt she will be racing as an AGer.

Also you can see a list of people who have been tested by USADA here:

https://www.usada.org/...thlete-test-history/

Beth has not been tested this year by USADA but her ban wasn't officially up until 2 days ago (May 1). Pretty sure they aren't going to test someone who's currently banned. But I'm sure she will be tested from now until the end of the year.

They should test them more. What a better time for a doper to dope?
