Trisuits

[allisonivy]

Hi ladies,
I'm brand new to this site.

I've completed two sprint tris and hope to do four this summer. Just bought my first tri suit. It doesn't feel as tight as I expected, but it feels fantastic. Should it be really really tight? Or should it just feel good?

When it's wet, will it be "looser"? I ask only because I did my first tri in a TYR bra and shorts. The bra was a Small (I'm usually a M) and it was great, even though it was a little tight.

Did the second in a danskin tri top and when I got out of the swim, I remember feeling a little more bouncy than I expected.

Thanks in advance!

It shouldn't be uncomfortably tight. Mine fits like a thinner swimsuit, basically. It's form-fitting but not cutting into my body anywhere. Hard to describe. It will have a little more give when wet, but not a whole lot if it's well-made. I had to wear a second sports bra under my danskin tri suit but not under my zoot one up to olympic distance. The danskin was comfy but not compressive enough.

Welcome to the forum!

Thanks Colby.

I think I probably tried on a different model, one with more compression. I liked that better. I'm going to exchange.

Thanks again.
