Has anyone wore their gear for longer distance? Just curious about the cycling shorts and top. Do they run small and is the chamois in the cycling short very thick?


Do the tri tanks come with bigger pockets? Hard to tell on their photos

I've worn Betty gear for everything from sprints to IM distance!

The shorts DO tend to run small.  I'm a medium in all Pearl Izumi shorts, the tri shorts I bought at IMAZ, the whatever-other-brand-I-have-but-I-can't-remember-what-the-heck-it-is-right-now shorts... and got a large in the Betty shorts.  Tops are all over the map for me in terms of other manufacturers (small in Sugoi, XL in TYR), but I'm a solid medium in the tops.  There are 2 pockets on the back of the tri-top, big enough to hold my phone, keys, and nutrition.  

I can only speak to the chamois in the tri shorts and it is thin enough to not feel like you're wearing a diaper on the run, but thick enough to feel comfortable on the bike for 112 miles.  

If you're looking at getting some awesome Betty gear, let me know as I've got a discount code to get 10% off!

I have worn Betty Gear, specifically their tri kit for up to a HIM distance and it was awesome. My favorite tri top as it the only one that doesn't chaffe for me, but I agree with what was said about sizing, order a size up on the shorts, but the tops are consistent.

Hi I did a HIM in betty designs tri top and shorts. I love them but the shorts kept riding up on one leg. Tried them again for a sprint and had the same issue. This may be because the shorts run small and I did not go up a size when buying them.

Hi Monica I am looking at Betty Design for I'm Maryland, what is your advice about that, do they run small? Also if you can give a discount that would be great. Thanks Christa

What are all these new funny-shaped saddles all about? Are they more comfortable than older designs? Will they keep me healthier so I can train on my bike longer? Should I change my saddle?

When people think of hydration in the aero position, the first name that comes to mind is the Aerodrink from Profile Design. I was expecting a pretty quick and breezy review of this water bottle.

Yes, the Dual is a little heavier than Cervèlo’s high end counterparts. But…the price is within reach of the masses and it still incorporates all of the design features that make a Cervèlo special.
