Done, thanks!

Once, I was fast. But I got over it.

How about a nice, soft brushed cotton t shirt?

Kit looks cool.

Makes that LTP35 look horrible...

I might buy this...

do we need to be recruited to wear this kit?

or a tenured endurance athlete?

I have enough T shirts. Now, a nicely priced tech T in this color motif, that I might do. But not right away.

Are sleeves in triathlon now a thing? Dislike that.

This post right here is designed to do 3 things:
1) Tell you that I just completed my order
2) Thank you for both the discount and the opportunity - I've wanted an ST kit for about 12 years
3) To bump this thread which should be, and now that I think about it - might already be, sticky.

Yes. Sleeves have been all the rage for 3 or so years now. So much so that WTC/Ironman had to rewrite their rules a couple of years ago. Sleeved kits are awesome to help against sunburn (and if they fit right, are more aero).

Pink? Maybe. Maybe not. You decide.

Not sure you would want my slow ass showing off this community in a tri suit with the Slowtwitch logo on it- probably not the advertising this site would benefit from- but I would definitely rock a tee shirt and it would not be so embarrassing to you and wouldn't belittle your years of hard work creating this space, or embarrassing to this community of alphas, and wouldn't be embarrassing to my fat ass ( tees do an excellent job hiding the lack of fitness imo) .Plus they can be worn to the grocery store when I'm shopping for a family size bag of Cheetos... :)

We need a version with a KOM polka dot theme....I'll need that for next year's Alps climbing trip!!!! Gotta dream on!

Are those tri shorts with or without pockets?

well, now, that's a good question. i suspect emilio will answer.

Pockets please!!

if they don't come with pockets send yours to me, i'll sew a pocket on there for you.

Have you looked into any of the print-on-demand services like Printful? Seems to be a bunch of people that would love a Slowtwitch t shirt. With the on demand services you don't need to stock inventory, everything is made when it's ordered and drop shipped. That way you could offer mens and women short and long sleeve shirts, a few sweatshirts and maybe a coffee mug pretty easily.

I'm sure someone on here has some experience with these services.

and maybe a coffee mug pretty easily. ///

Hum, I wonder where Dan could get some custom coffee mugs made???? (Perhaps he could begin to amortize the pottery studio he built at his house))

Maybe Dan would let us do a unsanctioned T shirt.

Me too. Hate the look.

Let me first say that nothing has come between my butt and my bike saddle except De Soto gear for the past 15 years or so. I also wear my Slowtwitch/De Soto bib and jersey about every other ride.

That said, I find this kit to be pretty jarring, and not in a good way. My ST/DS jersey/bib go together seamlessly with the purple fade, but this just goes from white to black, or pattern to white. It's like two different people designed the jersey and the bib, and didn't talk to each other during the design process.

I was looking forward to another opportunity to get some ST/DS gear, but I'll pass on this combo.

Sleeves look cool.

The decriptions are all very accurate as to if the products have pockets and if so how many and where.

But in a nutshell

For men:

the trisuit has 5 pockets
the tri top has 3 pockets
the tri bib has 2 pockets
The trishort has none.

For women:

the trisuit has 3 pockets
the tri top has 3 pockets
the tri short has 1 pocket
