Subject: Noob Trisuit question

I am looking for a trisuit that I can use for training.  I have access to a pool this coming winter and wondered if any of them (trisuits) were suitable for chlorinated water.  I know that Zoot states specifically not to use their Ultra line of suits in the pool.  Haven't seen it listed specifically anywhere else yet.

 

Thoughts? Input?

For training use a pair of jammers and not tri garb in a pool.

If you're just talking about using it a couple times to make sure it's comfortable, that's fine. Just rinse it out afterwards.  It's not going to fall apart after 2 times in chlorine.

If you want to use an expensive tri-suit for training in a chlorinated pool on a regular basis... uh... why?

I would advise against that. Your standard board or baggy shorts will provide uneven resistance giving you an unbalanced swim stroke. Getting proper swim drag shorts will provide a more even resistance to keep your balanced stroke
