any recommendations? there are some on sale at rei and sports basement. i'm mainly looking at either zoot or tyr, but would love to hear what other folks are wearing (especially the other women). will be wearing a job bra underneith regardless. i'd love to shave a bit of time off my transitions for the next two races.

I just bought a Sugoi tri suit and tried it out this past weekend. I love it!!!! Transistions are a snap. I was worried about the swim but it felt great!

I have both Tyr and Zoot.  They're both very comfortable.  I find the Tyr is better for swimming if it's not wetsuit legal.  The Zoot I think may be a little cooler.  I think it has more mesh in it.

They're both true to size.  I mention that because I find De Soto runs a bit on the small side.

I like the Zoot tops because they are high up on the neck.  they are on sale at sports basement for $20.  I hate the zoot shorts however because the chamois is pretty big.  I love my DeSoto shorty shorts, and I like my TYR shorts very much too.  I tried the suogi shorts and I hated them.  I have a Shebeast tri top I like very much too.  The TYR tops I tried on and wasn't crazy about.  I guess I will never match   Good luck -SMO

thanks for posting the info on sizing. i've found tyr stuff to run slightly small, and zoot to run slightly large. so hard to decide!

I have a TYR tri-suit (see avatar) and I enjoyed it in my first race.  It does run true to size.

FYI-- I also have Suqoi Turbo Tri Shorts and I had to get a size larger.

I've been looking as well, and think I've decided on the sugoi.  I like the look of it, but would like to see it on someone...rei has it only in white for $73 something; sports basement has it in white or blue for $85, plus I have my $25 off coupon from usat...I also just ordered a transition skirt-has anyone else been to skirtsports.com-saw it in runner's world and had to have one!

I just looked up the transition skirt at skirtsports.com.  It looks pretty cool.  Would you wear it in a competition?  How about on the bike?  You will have to let us know how it goes...

autumn - 2005-07-05 4:47 PM what is the sizing like on the sugoi? i have a jog bra from sugoi, and i had to get a size large, where as the other bras i have are mediums.

I have a Sugoi tri top, and shorts.  The tri top I found ran small so I took a women's large.  All my other tops are mediums.
