Tri top for long torso?

Triathlon Forum

Being 6’5", finding tri tops that belly shirts is a tough find. Anyone know which brands are out there that offer longer tri tops? I usually wear a trisuit, but i have a full iron coming up and prefer not to.

try some on??? I’m 6’3" and the TYR tri top fits me pretty well. You could always go with the “man-bra” look too.

I’ve tried on LG, Pearl, Orca, but limited to that since all the tri shops, running stores all carry the same brand. I’ll see if i can find somewhere that has TYR

I’m 6’3 and I’ve always had this problem (with regular clothes, too). I recently got a DeSoto Riviera top. This thing is almost like a mini skirt! I think you might find this works. It’s pretty top of the line, as well. I highly recommend it.

Yeah that was going to be my next choice. I ahve the Riviera shorts and love them. Doesn’t Desoto have a clydesdale version or something. I think it’s an extra 2" of material at the bottom?

I’m 6’5" and use an xl 2xu comp red top, on occassion. That paired with medium shorts and I have a glove like fit, I have a 32 inch waist, and am 179 so it might not work the same if you’re not ridiculously skinny.

ditto on the DeSoto…I am 6’2" and it is way too long for my taste

You’d have to ask them about that. But I’m telling you from experience, this thing is plenty long. Also, it has silicone gripper on the bottom hem. It stays put.

6’5 and 179??? Can they see you when you stand sideways?

Reed claims to be 175. I’ve considered dietary changes to get lighter even, but who can enjoy training without the fun food to reward yourself with after a hard workout.

I actually went to my local running store and found they have the Carerra tops. I tried on the large and was really surprised how long it was. I didn’t get it because i wanted to try on a x-large to see how it fit.

I tried on a Large Carrera top tonight but it didn’t have the rubber gripper at the bottom. Is the Forza top the only one that has the rubber gripper?

I have the forza riviera. It’s on sale right now - pretty good deal. The website only describes the silicone with the riviera.
