best yet it’s like camo for shrinkage! Bright ass camo…
Thanks Tai- Do you accept AMEX?
I accept AMEX, Cervelos (size 54 please) and anything else carbon!
Just don’t pass me at any races using that suit!
I’m not seeing this on the Spedo web page - can you lpost a link to the actual page?
Thanks!
what size are you guys buying? I am ~5’11" and 150…medium? My waste is like a 31.

These have been on sale for a while and it’s a great deal. they are not mid thigh length though. the go to the top of the knee. and they are very tight as they should be for swimming. The links below shows pics of what they look like, I will post size later to be definite but I am 6-1 165 and mine is a tight fit especially at the leg holes, the suit cut me really well during LA. This is a swim suit so there is no pad as you know but a seamstress took a pad out of one shorts and put them in the FS and it works great,

I’ll let you put a giant taigraphx decal on the front of mine if you tell me what size you own…and how it fits…??
Hah, that’s great but I can’t really help you out on that one. I have a TYR aquashift suit, same cut as the Speedo but I unfortunately don’t have the Speedo suit. I was just browsing and saw the deal so i posted it.
Too bad. It would have been good advertising.
Alright some size info, I am 6-1 165 and ordered a Medium-long but the tag says L so who knows, I probably could have gotten a large, if it isnt already, and still had it be tight enough. Hope this helps

I’ll let you put a Taigraphx.com ad on my ass if you give me your P3SL.
sorry to show my ignorance, but when would you wear one of those ? Have to be wet suit legal temp to wear one in a race, right ? so why would you wear that isn’t of a w-suit ?
It looks like trirakita uses his for the whole race with the addition of a chamois for the bike. Tai, I gathered from one of your previous posts that you wear yours during the swim, then shed it at T1 for a more “normal” tri outfit. So this speedo skinsuit, is it one that is more of a wear the whole time (if you can take the bike without a chamois) or is it one that can be worn over tri shorts and peeled off at T1? Just curious as this skinsuit stuff is new to me. Thanks!
I’m curious how yours is holding up, as you’re just about the same dim’s as me. I’d wonder if I could get a few seasons out of it racing 5-6 times a year.
Thanks,
Daniel
