"Smaller" Triathlon Apparel Brands

Hey Guys,

I was wondering if you know any smaller brands for Long-Arm Tri-Suits with good design (200-400USD)?

I hate that at any given Triathlon everybody runs around in the same suit and am looking for some more unknown brands.

What I have looked at so far:

Ryzon: Great minimalist design, but too popular since Frodeno is wearing it.

Wattie-Ink: Some better designs, but nothing that blows my mind at the moment

Love-The-Pain: Some great designs, but unbelievable bad customer service

Kiwami: Great Pricing, but Design Sucks

Do you have any suggestions?

Love The Pain has cool stuff, but I won’t be ordering anything from them that I need like ever…so perhaps something I can forget about and be pleasantly surprised when it shows up?

Wattie Ink seems to be the sweet spot for me when it comes to designs and customer service.

There’s Betty Designs…but they place way to much emphasis on their “squad” to create a mystique…when the squad is like 300 deep it’s fucking dumb when you like designs and are wanting to hook up your wife/fiancee with cool cycle kit. Whereas some brands sell their pro-kits via pre-order.

So if you have anything with Sweet designs for aggressive males, send them over.

I was looking at these also; what are the examples of the unbelievable bad customer service?

I got the “captain” tri suit from WynRepublic and all I can say is WOW… it’s incredible, really and truly it’s worth the extra money. But at the same time they’re a small business comparatively speaking with the Garneau, TYR, desoto’s of the world. So I understand materials cost, and Profit margin and took my chance. I thought their customer service was fantastic, I got in touch with them about sizing because I’m right between sizes. I’m 5’9 175lbs 33 waist 42chest. But they were very helpful and offered sizing advice and it fits like a dream.

Got it, thanks. Should have searched. Too bad as they have some unique stuff.

Thank you so much for the tip of Wyn Republic! Absolutely love their design and great customer service, excited to get a suit from them! Getting the men’s champagne aero+ sleeved tri suit, it’s sold out but a quick message via facebook and they told me I could reserve one since they are restocking.

I love DeSoto products, not sure if they have a long sleeve tri suit but certainly look them up. I also use Nimblewear for my team kit, outstanding products but a bit on the higher side price-wise.

Ownway apparel, simply the best. I’m not sponsored by them, they just helped me make my kit and I love it and get compliments on it every race I do.

Wattie Ink and DeSoto. Quality stuff, period.

Stolen Goat has awesome designs and they just started selling sleeved tri suits:

I’m a Wyn Republic junkie. Got their Rayure tri suit in May and since then have accumulated 3 cycling kits among other accessories. Their stuff is the bomb. And I’m very picky about tri and cycling clothing.

Check out “woom” it’s a company out of Brazil and they make good stuff

Regarding the Tri-Suits: I am dead sure that the quality/aero capabilties of your product are great, it’s just that for me, design wise desoto is a little bit lacking behind.
