Can anyone recommend a tri top with the following characteristics? I’m looking for something that will work well for the non-wetsuit races we have in Hawaii and keep me from cooking too badly. I’ve been shopping around but haven’t seen anything that has everything I’m looking for.
Thanks!

That pic is a bit… disturbing.
Thanks for the suggestion. I guess there ARE things worse than drag from pockets and poor sun coverage, eh? =)
I am looking at the full zipper Craft. It comes in white. The nice thing is b\c it is full zipper you can put it on after the swim. I am look at this for Half IM.
Hmm! I hadn’t considered putting something on after the swim to avoid the drag. Thanks!
Desoto white skin cooler top.
Yup, that’s my new idea, I think it works for Half IM and longer… Not sure I would want to waste the extra 20 seconds in an Oly but then again it is only 20 seconds with a full zipper
My favorites Tri clothing lines are De Soto and Craft. Both offer Tri tops in white.
Two votes Craft, two votes DeSoto! Does DeSoto make any tri tops without pockets? I looked at the different lines and only saw the aero top which didn’t offer the shoulder coverage I was looking for.
I love DS for just about everything else - power tri shorts, arm coolers, skin cooler shirts & shorts for running…
I am also looking for something for the non-wetsuit events. I wear a heart rate monitor and don’t like to wrestle getting something on when when and taking the time in transition. The trade off is wearing a top in the water which causes drag. I also like pockets, again a problem in the water…
Suggestions…
