Sparx SportsSparx Women Triathlon Suit Tri Short Racing Cycling Swim Run

Was perfect for practice and the race. Used it in an actual triathlon. I was worried that the zipper was going to pop down on me, but it didn't. I got an XXL. I'm 5'7", 232lbs, 42-40-51, and the hips were pushing the limit of the suit, truly. The first time I put it on, I could feel the threads straining. Felt great though, no chafing, dried pretty quickly and felt good going from swim to bike. By the time run came around, still good. In practice I didn't use any glide because I rarely swam first and had absolutely no chafing problems doing bricks, but I did use body glide for the race. I just wish I had used it on the inside of my arms, because I did get a small abrasion during the race. When the suit was totally dry, there was no chafing at all. They did a good job of making sure it fits like a glove and no skin rubs on itself. I really loved this suit.

I love the look of this suit, it's really flattering. I'm 5'3" 170lbs and I bought an XL. I bought it specifically for cycling. There's not much padding but that makes sense for triathletes buying this (no one would want a huge saggy crotch after swimming!). I wanted this so I could ride my bike to the beach and not worry about needing a change of clothes. The material feels nice and I think it would hold up well in the water. The top is a little sheer though, so I feel like it will be see through once it's wet. I suggest buying a darker color if that's something that might bother you. Other than that, I love this simple suit!

Hello. I'm new to triathlons. I bought this since I was doing my first tri which was indoors. I am 5'8", 160 lbs, normally a size 8 in pants so I ordered the medium since I've heard it's best for these suits to fit snug. I wore this with nothing underneath. It fit great out of the package and during my swim and bike. Once I got to the running portion, I notice where my suit fell a little short.There is no breast support while running. Also, once the suit was wet, it felt a lot looser on me. I now realize I probably should've ordered a size small. I also noticed that the butt area is a little see through. I don't care if people get a peak at my crack but other's might. If I would have gotten a size small, my crack may have been more visible.I will use it again but will likely put a sports bra on during transition which is easy enough with this suit.

I am giving this product 2 instead of 1 stars because of the number of compliments I received and the fit around my legs. I have been wearing this suit for little over a month and the return window just closed. In hindsight, I should have returned or exchanged this suit when it first began to give me issues.My issue with the suit is the zipper. The zipper would split in the middle or come completely down while I was swimming. Tonight was different, only because, when I tried to zip the suit back up, the zipper completely popped off. I took proper care of my suit as it relates to cleaning and drying. While I do swim more than once a week. I expected that a suit for $45 to last long than 30 days. I am highly disappointed in the performance of the suit.

The material on the front part is so much thinner than the rest that if you don't have the perfect flat stomach then it will show. I prefer real bathing suit material there so the bubble my kids left is held in. I was disappointed & don't understand why that part has such a different material. Other than that it was fine.

I am a new triathlete in the making and I was trying to find something that fit in my price range and was good material for the price, this trisuit went beyond my expectations it fits perfectly for me being a curvy girl and its super comfortable. Also dries really fast for biking and running. :)

Note: You will need to wear a sports bra with this swimsuit. If you have more than a B-Cup, the sides also will show the bra underneath, as this suit is not 'full coverage' in the bust.Otherwise, nice suit, good fit. The padding in the crotch for bicycle riding is noticeable when wearing.Doesn't contain any kind of tummy control.Does have pockets on the suit, which I find provides drag in the water so I'll be sewing them closed.

I got this suit for my first sprint triathalon and it was great. I wore it a few times for running, biking, and swimming at a lake before the big event and it held up just fine. It never frayed and no broken zippers. It's the same material as a bathing suit so it dries quickly even with the extra padding between the legs for biking. It's very comfortable and works as expected. I'm 5'2'' and weight bought 150lbs and I got a large. You definitely need a sports bra though because there is no support for the bust. When I got to my triathalon there were at least 5 other women with the same suit in different colors.

Perfect
