Tri top fit (how tight?)

Triathlon Forum
1

Might seem like a silly question, but i have to ask anyway. My club is offering gear this season, and im not sure what size i need. I can’t find a sizing chart for Suarez gear.

I’ve tried on a large and a medium tri top…both seem to fit, albeit differently. The large is a little looser with wrinkles, yet still clings to my body. The medium clings very snug, almost no wrinkles. I don’t have a gut or anything so thats not a concern…i just don’t know how tight tri tops are supposed to be.

Little help? Cheers.

IMHO a tri top shoudl fit like tri shorts - tight. any looseness will cause major nip chaffeage.

major nip chaffeage and little tiny parachutes in the water. There is a reason they are also called skin suits.

Ok, so the tighter the better as long as its not constricting?
