Tri wear for us big athletes, custom stuff

OK, as most of us have experienced getting comfortable well fitting tri wear can be difficult for us Clydesdales.

I love bibs for cycling, but the notion of wearing a tri suit for a race is horrifying to me because...well frankly I'd look like 250 pounds of bubble gum stuffed in a 150 pound weight limit sack.  I like wearing a baggier shirt on the bike/run legs.

To that end I was always looking for a "tri-bib".  DeSoto makes one but doesn't make it in XXL.

I contacted aerotechdesigns to see if they could put a tri pad in their cycling bibs.   Much to my surprise they were thrilled with the idea.  Since their stuff is made on premises Cathy the owner said that I could order a cycling bib in my size and in the comments section just put a note to Cathy that you want a tri crotch pad instead of the cycling pad.

I'm going to order one today, and I'll update how it works out.  I'm actually pretty excited about the prospect of actually being comfrotable during a race.  No more tugging and pulling at the waist of my tri shorts.

So right now props to aerotechdesigns.
