Most tri suits have rear pockets. Any idea how much water drag these cause? Should they be avoided for non wetsuit swims?? I don’t like to waste time changing and prefer to wear the same suit for the entire race. Thanks for any replies.
Slick,
Simple solution. Just cut holes in the bottom of the pockets and the water will flow strait through thereby creating no drag at all. Might create a bit of a problem for carrying your power bars and gels though.
Somebody ought to make the pockets out of netting.
My Desoto top has mesh pockets.
I would like a flap over the opening of the pocket. That would prevent any drag and still keep the food in. If it had no snap or just a small piece of velcro, it would not seriously inhibit access to the contents.
My Speedo name brand suit has no pockets. On the bike I carry “bike ride stuff” and have a small Desoto belly bag that I wear on the run. I just leave it with my running shoes and put it on as I start the run.
Aloha,
Larry
