Women's 2 piece recommendations?

Triathlon Forum
1

Good day,

My wife is looking for a new 2 piece swimsuit. She swims mostly in the pool. The 2 piece is required because she has a long torso and finds 1 piece suits to be too short.

Currently she has a TYR and finds the material a bit rough and the seams thick, resulting in raw arms after a long swim.

Anyone care to recommend a good 2 piece suit for her?

Thank you.

Ryan

wild weasel or malibu strings.

if those doesn’t float your (or her) boat, DeSoto makes a nice one. desoto.com

Thanks for the info. I think you might mean wickedweasel.com rather than wild weasel. And why I do agree with your recommendations on the first two companies, I think she would like something a bit more supportive. Call me crazy. That does not mean I will not buy one though.

I’m thinking that leopard or goth print would match with the recommended saddle…

Together it makes a great combination and a very sleek look. I don’t wear a women’s two piece, so I cannot honestly recommend one. Good luck rsha*

Women’s 2 piece recommendations?

Yes.

Leopard or goth? No, no, no. that’s obviously a western-type saddle that would require a suit with some rhinestones, matching vest, possibly a lasso or whip. Lone ranger mask?

Giddy up!

I race in a two piece De Soto and have had no problems.

I race in a two piece De Soto and have had no problems.

Just wondering, do you wear the one which ties (trikini) or the the one which looks like a sports bra (T-Back top)?

Thanks.

I have a two piece de Soto for racing also and it’s really comfortable. I have the one with a full length top and shorts. This is the first sleeveless top that I haven’t had to use body glide on long runs. Not so sure about using this setup for pool training, though. I imagine that the chlorine would eat it pretty quickly.

Speedo makes a two piece version of their “Endurance” suit.

I have the one piece version of this and find that it’s really comfy and durable.

My wife has the same proportional problem and she tends to wear Nike.

I like my Nike two-piece suit - all Nike two pieces that I have tried on seem to fit me better than others… Very, very subjective topic…

I second the Speedo recommendation- I have one that is an older model, and it is great. There is a drawstring in the waist (sorry guys) and the T-back top is really comfy. It will definitely stay ‘in place’ if she is doing flip-turns in the pool (again- sorry guys!).

The top looks and acts like a sports bra.
