aerosuit with a long zipper
Quote | Reply
I was wondering if there is a men's sleeved tri suit out there that has a zipper that goes down low enough so that you can pee without having to take the top off? It's honestly a pain in the butt during the full IM. I had to go after 16 miles in Arizona and wasted a good minute pulling the sleeves off and pushing the arms through them back on - ie whatever the trisuit saved me on the bike was probably negated during the struggle with it just to go take a leak.

My BioRacer suit unzips about 3 inches below my belly button.
I’d post pics, but NSFW.

The De Soto Flysuits have a little fly, so you don't have to mess with the zipper at all. Pure genius.

One of the suggestions we made to several manufacturers is having a full zip with a top that's connected in the back and wears more like a 2 piece in the front. This makes peeing easy.

The other thing I'd suggest is just walk and pee on yourself when in the race instead of wrestling with your suit.

Check out suits like Kiwami spider or Coure for what I'm talking about though on the split

Many brands offer the style where it is basically a shirt and shorts stitched together which allow for this. Castelli, Roka (I think), Kiwami, Ownway Apparel (custom)

Why there are any other posts or recommendations in this thread is beyond me. The DeSoto Flisuit wins this contest easily.

OwnWay suits have a full zip that go low enough to pee without taking the top off.

Because as much as as I love the idea of the flisuit and De Soto products have their place in my lot of training gear, the quality and comfort of the material in my Ownway Apparel Trisuit is far superior than a Riviera Trisuit and zipping down to the waist and then back up while running is pretty easy. So if the OP is simply looking for absolute easiest pee solution, the flisuit is likely it. But if OP wants an overall better quality (and probably faster) Trisuit with still good bathroom options (in fact better bathroom options if #2 is needed), then other brands offer what I think are more compelling options.
