watching the olympics and various ITU events one would conclude that Orca has this market rapped up. what’s your favorite race top or tri suit???
love my desoto one piece as it’s pretty much all that fits me from the major big name tri companies. For a top to swim in, guess I have to go with the Orca top, finally a top that doesn’t drag in the water and flap on the bike.
The new Descente stuff looks pretty cool for 05, took a look at thier sample suits and they are very nice. I’m tempted to try one of those next year or maybe order one of the cool suits from that aussie company Cannibal.
Read Tom Demerly’s recent posts about this.
Favorite top is a Nike Sphere Cool tank, cut off at the belt line. The one with wide top straps that cover the whole shoulder. I don’t like clingy stretchy tops.
Favorite shorts are the DeSoto low-cut tri shorts.
A pair of Brooks T3s on my feet; no socks.
I’ve tried bunches of things, and I’m set for life with this kit.
where can you find pics of the sample tri stuff for descente?
i think you’ll have to find a catalog to get pictures, sorry. They have a pretty small line and not all that many colors but the fabric on the new suits is really nice. Very thing yet durable looking, I’ll post pictures if I get a chance to scan them. They have a 1 piece suit for both men and women black/white & blue/white, a tri short for men and women, and a top for both men and women. The color theme repeats throughout
