Subject: Tri Suit with more padding
Can any of you recommend a tri suit with more padding on the butt. Currently, I'm wearing an Orca tri suit, with a chamois padding. it dries quickly out of the water, but within 5 miles on the bike, I'm dreaming of more padding. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks Mateo

That I can not help you with. Only think I did to fix this issue is having a softer seat.

I can't compare with the Orca, but I have used 3 brands in the past - 2XU, LG, & Pearl Izumi. LG was the thinnest and 2XU the thickest.

But, yeah, the right seat (or at least the best seat) will make a huge difference. I just got a new one (Adamo Podium) and it's a nice improvement.

Do you think you're dialed in on your bike fit? That'll play into how pressure is applied on the saddle and, consequently, your back side.

This is a 'first impressions' review of the Fit2Race Sockeye Fullsuit. From a first wetsuit point-of-view, I was able to dramatically improve my pace over non-wetsuit swims.

I step gingerly into the pond. I did not know water could be that cold and not be ice. Briefly I can see the bottom and then everything is black except for my pale hands extending from my black suit.

I am not going to buy a tri-suit before my first tri - I want to make sure I am going to stick with this before I spend a lot of money on it so I want to figure out what will work best.
