Features
Soft-bias, non-chafing collar, but won’t billow out while swimming; semi-lock zip; S-lite lycra for moisture management; extra long zipper; modesty panel, keep your privates private; flatlock stitching; non-silicone leg gripper, won’t creep up the leg; extra-wide armholes help to prevent chafing; UPF 50+ UV protection, protect yourself from the elements; colorfast sublimation will not fade or wash out, clean with confidence; two mesh pockets located in the back; high-performance poly spandex lycra, mold to your body without suffocating it!

Materials
This suit is made from an aquaphobic material, high-performance poly spandex lycra, that helps to trap in body heat in your upper body while swimming, and dries off quickly and helps to keep you warm once you exit the water. Includes a NeoGel pad with anti-microbial fleece to help cushion and maintain hygiene while biking. This suit can be used many times and will keep its color and fit.

As stated above, the poly spandex lycra really makes the difference while swimming. It does a marginal job of keeping you warmer than normal while swimming, however, once out of the water you will notice a big difference; you’ll dry fast and stay warm until you do! The NeoGel pad helps to improve the biking side of the race, without being big and bulky while running or swimming. The grippers effectively keep the legs of the suit from sliding or riding up your thighs so you won’t have to worry about constantly fidgeting with them! The zipper has caused problems with a few consumers, but simply unzipping the top even a little helps to reduce any problems. This suit not only does one or two or the aspects of this sport well, but it also crashes all three in functionality!

Comfort
This suit is comfortable! Customers love it. At first, it may be tricky to properly size yourself- that’s going to be the problem with any tri suit though- but once you do, it’ll fit you like a glove! Read Amazon reviews, many consumers post their physical size, weight, and purchase size and this can help you get the right size product the first time around. Large arm holes and leg grippers that work help to secure this product in first place for our list!

Value
Tri suits can run upwards of hundreds of dollars, and they may not even deliver on all three aspects of the sport well. Synergy delivers with comfort, fit, functionality, and they do it at a price that is reasonable for any budget.

Synergy is a company that was founded by a collection of triathletes back in the 1990s but was put on hold from any further development until the late 2000s. Synergy’s story, however, starts back in the 1980s when a young boy sadly discovered he was bad at nearly every sport he did. Committed to not giving up he dedicated himself to training, hard, to be better- his own personal best. Having been part of the competition- and now in the business of the sport- for many years, Synergy is a name you can trust when it comes to triathlons!

Features

Materials
Neither the Amazon product page or Castelli’s direct website indicated what material this was made from. While it is unclear exactly what it is, consumers loved the feel and quality of this material.

Comfort
This suit comes with sleeves. That isn’t something that many other models on the market offer, but for those that get chaffing on your arms with the sleeveless suits, this design will be the one that you want to go with. If you are worried about the sleeves getting in the way during the race, don’t be, consumers loved this suit.

Value
This is one of the most expensive suits on the list, even through Amazon, the suit is not meant for a beginners budget. If you are ready to step up your game and enter into a new league of competition then this suit from a classic company is the buy that you’ve been looking for. It may come in as our number 10, but there is nothing last place about this great product!

Castelli as a brand is far from new, however. With roots as far back as 1876, this company has been around through a lot of world events. Italian based, this company has been producing fine goods for high-profile individuals for numerous years. Castelli is of unparalleled quality and craftsmanship.

Features
Elite Transfer In-R-Cool fabric provides cooling and reflective sun protection- yet helping garments maintain original compression levels; Elite Transfer Aero fabric is intentionally placed for the utmost aerodynamics. Merrow stitch construction for top-notch Next-to-Skin comfort; 11.5-inch zipper for venting; Plush elastic silicone leg gripper; Two back easy access envelope pockets; Tri quick-dry Chamois

Materials
This suit is made from 80% Nylon/12% Spandex/8% Polyester with a UPF rating of 50+!!! That’s a pretty awesome feature for this suit! The quality of the material is good, it is made with quality stitching. The only thing that people noticed fading or peeling off was the Pearl iZumi logo on the chest, but that doesn’t take away from the race one bit. Comes in three color schemes so you can personalize at will. Some seam issues may arise around the shoulders after a few uses.

Comfort
Comfortable fit. Many consumers bought this and then jumped in it and were off to their first race. No need to break it in, it was born for your heavily active lifestyle! This suit is as rugged as you and can stand up to the demands that you make.

Value
This suit can be towards the pricier end of the bracket- but Amazon is still spoiling us with lower prices than anywhere else on the web. This may be a suit that beginners can wear, but this is the suit that the veterans turn to.

Pearl iZumi does both guys and girls suits well. Sometimes that isn’t the case, but when it does happen, you have to think that the company truly knows what they are doing, right? We think so. Pearl iZumi deserves to be up here twice, as we said just because they do women’s suits well doesn’t mean that they understand the unique requests of men’s bodies- however, in this case, they do! Give Pearl iZumi a chance and you’ll be shopping with them again in the future.

Features
Second-skin fit means you have freedom of movement to perform at your best; Premium Italian fabrics are super fast drying, helps you stay dry throughout the race; The zipper is located in the back for comfortable breathing and easy removal; Ergonomically designed pad just for men provides protection and support, without getting in your way.

Materials
Their technical materials are super fast-drying to prevent chafing after the swim, but is chlorine-resistant so you can swim in the pool to train before your big day! The material is fairly thin, it is not as thick as many biking shorts. It won’t keep you much warmer than your bare skin would alone. This can be helpful in hot terrain races or for any that aren’t wetsuit mandated.

Comfort
Once people buy Sundried they end up going back time and again. This is a company that people love to get behind because of their ethical fabrication but also because they design suits that are functional and comfortable. Transition from one event to the next seamlessly, with no chaffing or irritation, and with material that dries quickly to keep you working at your optimal level. Consumers reported that the suit was as comfortable as it was advertised as.

Many consumers bought this suit and then immediately went to race in it. It functioned great! There was not much negative feedback on this puppy- people love Sundried. The intelligently designed slight pad helps soften the biking experience without hindering you in the rest of the race. Both the pad and the material were both as fast drying as they say it is. That’s probably due to the fact that it’s thinner fabric than you might expect.

Value
This is a suit you can buy proudly for yourself knowing you are investing in quality gear for your upcoming race- without having to break the bank to do it! Sundried is great in both men and women’s designed tri suits, so no matter what you are in the market for, Sundried has what you are looking for- at reasonable prices!

Sundried strives to give back to the environment and charities around the world. They are a brand that is not only known for their quality of work but also because they care to leave the world better than how they found it- Something that we could all practice more of! It’s one thing for individuals to make that commitment themselves- and it does make a difference!- but it is in another league when a company commits to high ethical standards. Quick- three cheers for Sundried!

Features
Better breathability and evaporation helps reduce the energy needed for body cooling; Powerful and flexible "second skin" compression allows you to stretch in all directions; Flexible fabric blend stretches in ALL directions for a sleek and supportive fit and it comes without itchy seams. Unmatched moisture management. Designed to keep you comfy while looking cute- you’ll LOVE the color, style, and coverage of this appealing triathlon suit. Long legs prevent chaffing on the run plus soft grippers keep the legs in place without the feeling of “sausage legs”. And remember it’s BYOB (Bring Your Own Bra).

Materials
Made of a super-comfortable nylon/spandex mix, your SLS3 Tri-Suit wicks sweat away from your body and throughout the material, then evaporates it quickly, to help keep you cool and dry. The material is thinner on this product so there isn’t much compression, maybe that’s what you’re looking for? Consumers were very happy with the quality of this product.

Comfort
It fits well, other than the abovementioned complaint of slight sag in the neckline of the suit, it fits well. It also dries quickly, both the pad and the overall fabric. The part that is likely to stay wet the longest is the sports bra underneath, so make sure to buy one that is as good at sweat wicking as the suit you’ll be wearing over it.

Consumers found that this suit transitioned well from one event to the next in the sport. However. the front did pull down a little bit while swimming but if you are wearing a sports bra it won’t expose anything. Drag might be your main concern there, but it doesn’t create a drag so you don’t have to worry about it slowing down your motions in the water. Overall functions well.

Value
German made craftsmanship at an affordable price. Consumers had very few negative things to say about this product. If you are looking to get more serious with your race times, this is the suit for you. Not nearly as expensive as some of the top made products out there, this one is a great buy for the quality and price. SLS3 will win you over as they have us!

We love this company. It wasn’t biased, they just won us over while researching tri suits, it was an honest battle and SLS3 came out as our favorite brand! Buy this suit and you will be falling in love with it just as the two triathlete founders fell for each other back in 2004. This brand started because of love- love of the sport and love for each other- and their products all reveal how much love goes into each and every product. As a company they started small; they were more concerned about quality over quantity. Better products, not more. Once they mastered one product only then did they move onto conquer new heights. This is a newer company but it is still growing today!

Features
Designed to follow the body lines of a cyclist while assisting in all aspects of the triathlon; Flatlock stitching helps to reduce abrasion irritation; Contoured paneling for a more personalized shape; Front 14" zipper for ease of donning on or off; Microsensor mesh back allows for great ventilation; 6mm CoolMax Pad; 2 Rear pocket & 2 side pockets Storage for all race essentials.

Something unusual about this suit is the two leg pockets that come designed into it. Many consumers found that they appreciated these pockets. Silicone leg grippers keep the legs in place but once they get stretched out it is hard for them to return to their original tightness. As with many tri suits, the zipper is the biggest problem, the only complaints people had of this suit were about the zipper.

Materials
Breathable, 220 GSM (grams per square meter), quick-dry Lycra fabric does just what you want it to- it wicks moisture away from the body and keeps you cool and dry your entire race. Not the highest quality material on the market. The colored mesh is see-through and may reveal more than you are willing to show.

Comfort
This suit has four-way elasticity reducing muscle vibrations and nylon fibers added for durability, this suit is meant to weather it all with you. Consumers found this fit as you expect it to.

Value
This tri suit is not made from the highest quality material, but given the price, it is a great deal. Still getting used to triathlons this is a good beginner suit to help break you in. If you are a pro, or even someone that is no newbie, this product is probably not the one you want even for training.

Pros are likely to want to keep shopping beyond this product, but if you are still testing out the waters of triathlons… okay, didn’t mean to be ‘punny’- let’s try again- if you are still testing to see if triathlons are for you but you want to give it an honest go, look no further. Sparx has successfully designed a suit that is good for the beginner triathletes body and budget. Both were taken into consideration when designing this gem.

Features
First, let’s focus on the quick-drying pad. The foam of the XX pad will soften sitting during cycling, without impeding in swimming. Your bottom dries fast, can breathe, and it’s comfortable. There is also an extended zipper. It is longer than common and features a comfort zipper vent that helps provide coolness on warmer days. Also, two pockets allow for storage of your choice of small energy bars or gels. Lastly, silicone leg grippers provide a tight grip around your leg.

Materials
Performance material is made of high-stretch quick-dry and super-light fabric, the brilliant material allows the body to naturally breathe and keeps you comfortable throughout a race or while training for a triathlon, wicking away sweat and water alike.

When it comes to getting the job done, this suit is the one for the task. Works well in all three aspects of the sport. With its performance material, you can count on it to keep you dry and warm when you most need it. Bike, swim, run with confidence that this suit has you covered- literally.

Comfort
The foam pad may be a bit big, but it does dry fairly fast so it doesn’t impede things too much. Great for a few races if you are still training or only have time for a handful a year; but if you are going to be doing a heavy amount of triathlons this can be a decent (and cheap) option for training. The silicone leg grippers hold but don’t pull leg hair, which means you don’t have to shave if you don’t want to. The size runs a little large on this one so make sure to consult other consumers reviews before choosing a size. It should be noted that it can be revealing when coming right out of the water, triathletes aren’t known for their modesty though. Comfortable fit overall!

Value
This is as cheap as it goes! Great option for beginners and those wanting a reliable training suit. Includes a 90-day warranty, buy with confidence. Consumers liked this product so much that there are no low rated stars on Amazon! If you are just starting you shouldn’t look any further for your next purchase.

If you are still new to this whole triathlon thing- or you accepted a bet that said you didn’t have the gall to race in one and you’re ready to prove someone wrong- this suit is the perfect fit for you! Sleeveless design allows for total movement of the arms without worry of chafing and irritation. The padding on this suit will help cushion while biking without impeding running or biking. With this very reasonably priced suit, as a beginner, you can’t go wrong.

Features
Made from Imported fabric, it’s designed with select transfer Dry fabric that sets the benchmark for compression and moisture transfer. Separate bra top offers maximum support while allowing easy on/off access of the suit. Tri quick-dry Chamois means that this suit doesn’t stay wet or damp for long! Flatlocking seams have been specifically tailored to the suit so as to cut back on possible abrasion problems.

This suit is great to go from event to event within a triathlon, or just for one specific event training purposes. The suit dries quickly so you don’t have to worry about moist material irritating your skin. Flatlock seams help to cut back on chafing. This suit is not an easy on- easy off model, however. If you need to make a quick bathroom break in this, your time might take a hit because of it.

Materials
Main Body: 88% Nylon/12% Lycra Elastane. PI Transfer: active moisture management helps to distribute moisture across the fabric regulating body temperature and helping to greatly reduce drying time. Consumers noted that they used this suit regularly for long stretches of time and it helps up well. There are four fun and vibrant colors to choose from with this particular suit, a color that is sure to match every personality type.

Comfort
It is a comfortable fit that you don’t even think twice about wearing. Between running, biking, and swimming you will put your suit- and body- through a lot. This suit fits perfectly for most consumers. In general with any, make sure to size appropriately and ask other consumers for help if you don’t know. As soon as you are done you can take it off and throw it in the washing machine- just make sure to air dry it. Who doesn’t love the smell of clothes dried in the fresh air anyway?!

Value
Quality materials, superior fit, designed to fit with a bra underneath. The bra that is included may not be the one that you choose to go with, but even if it isn’t, this suit will allow another to be used in its place. It isn’t very easy to get on or off in a pinch, so keep your bathroom breaks far and few between. If you realize that this suit runs small and order the right size, you are likely, as with so many other consumers, to find a suit you can fall in love with.

Pearl iZumi has done it- they have engineered a suit that is perfect for women. The top offers bra support but still acts as a one piece for less pull while swimming. Taken into special consideration is bike safety, especially at night. The color and fashion of this suit wasn’t just a stylish choice but also intelligently designed to pick up on UV light invisible to the naked human eye and turn it into more light to make nighttime visibility the best that it can be! Comfortable, practical, stylish, and budget-friendly come together to make this tri suit masterpiece.

Features
Their technical materials are fast-drying to help prevent chafing after the swim; Designed with a long-length zipper to the back for comfortable breathing and easy removal. The suit features a barely-noticeable hypoallergenic pad to aid in comfort on the ride while you won’t even notice it on the run so you can get on with the race. The legs of this suit won’t ride up with these intelligently designed leg grippers. Legs will stay in place and won’t chafe as you run or bike.

Materials
This aesthetically pleasing tri suit is made from Italian Fabric that is 92% Polyester and 8% Elastane technical fabric. Specifically designed to be a second skin, you’ll get so used to wearing it that you’ll feel extra naked without it.

This suit transitions from one event to the next seamlessly. It has quick-drying fabric that is among some of the fastest drying fabric out there. The only thing that could be said, or possibly approved upon in the future is the lack of pockets, while training this isn’t a big deal, but come race day it can make a significant difference.

Comfort
Fits just like you want it to. It has large armholes which allow freedom of movement without fear of chafing. Large stitching prevents any rub while running or biking. The material is fairly thin, so it doesn’t keep you too much warmer than if you weren’t wearing it. Getting the sizing correct on this one can be a bit tricky, but consult fellow consumers- they are usually more than happy to help out, and in all likelihood already have.

Value
Consumers had very few negative things to be said about this product whatsoever. Just make sure to size your purchase correctly and you will be as satisfied as countless others before you. Quality material that can stand up to Olympic demands at a price that any committed triathlete can find a budget- a very reasonable gift idea- for. This tri suit is everything that you want it to be at a price you can afford.

Comfort
