Who if anyone makes a tank-like Tri top (or tank-like cycling jersey) with 3 full back pockets?

Perfect. Thanks – not sure how I missed that, as I was on their site yesterday!
I second the recommendation on the DeSoto Carrera Jersey. Here’s why:
- Length. The Carrera is a “real world” length that doesn’t let your belly hang out and fits well even on longer torso (which is most) athletes.
- Cut. It is tapered at the waist, but not too fitted. Perfect for running, a little blousy for the most aerodynamic fit on the bike unless you buy snug. For the “comfort before speed” crowd, the fit is dialed.
- True sizes. A Large is large, a medium is medium and an Extra Large is, well, pretty darn large.
- Arm holes: Come up under your arms high enough- more aero fit. Hasn’t chafed me at all and I’m no ectomorph.
- Real pockets: You can actually put stuff in them. No jersey/tri top runs great with its pockets *fully *loaded, but this one rides great with moderate/light loads in the rear pockets. If all you are carrying in the rear pocket is a couple gels and a pill container and you bought it snug enough the rear pockets are fine on the run.
- Good zipper: It has a zipper pull tab on it you can actually use while running/riding.
- DeSoto is a genuine company. The guy who runs it is a triathlete. He may even post here in a minute.
7. DeSoto is a genuine company.
Couldnt agree more! Well, I couldn’t agree more with #1 - 7 honestly. Love mine!
Just got the Forza Tri suit… it has 2 pockets on each thigh, and three pockets in the back… it is perfect… fits perfect, drys quickly, keeps skin cool, and does everything but make me a sandwhich
Carrera on the way. Thanks Tom and all.
