tri gear

Hi, new to all of this..(husband blames it on mental illness...hehehe) add on question to this thread. On the one piece tri suits...how much more drag do you have in the water as to a competition swim suit?? Thanks

Welcome!

The way I swim, drag is the least of my worries!

Most tri-suits are very fitted and have a high neck, so you don´t scoop up water. The one I have doesn´t feel much different to a swim suit.

I did my first tri wearing bikini bottoms and a sports bra for the swim, then just put my cycling stuff over the top. Transition bag was a plain drawstring bag, so the total cost was nil. However a tri suit is more comfortable and saves the struggle of trying to drag tight cycling clothes onto a wet body (got mine as a birthday present).
