Why are tri suits so ugly?

Check out Skinfit. Very clean looking designs. A bit pricey…

Skinfit

I think I’m leaning towards this two piece.

Hello Local Star and All,


“Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.” – Oscar Wilde

Who cares how it looks?

Unless their might be some advantage to camouflage…

Or coloring to control temperature …

Or the ugliness of the suit could intimidate the competition …

Function is what counts - does it help maintain your optimum racing temperature (making you faster) - is it comfortable (making you faster) - and does it work well for food storage (to make you faster) - does it have optimum aero and hydrodynamic properties (making you faster)?

No style points are awarded in triathlon.

Cheers,

Neal
