13 best triathlon skinsuits
A triathlon skinsuit is a specialized piece of clothing designed for triathletes to optimize performance during the swim, bike, and run segments of a triathlon.These suits are typically made of materials that are lightweight, moisture-wicking, and aerodynamic to help athletes transition smoothly between the different disciplines of the race.
Here are some key features and aspects of triathlon skinsuits:
Streamlined Design: Triathlon skinsuits are designed to reduce drag and enhance aerodynamics, particularly during the swim and bike legs. They often have a tight, form-fitting design to reduce resistance in the water and on the bike.
Quick-Drying Material: Skinsuits are made from materials that wick moisture away from the body and dry quickly. This feature is essential for triathletes as it helps maintain comfort during transitions and the entire race.
Zipper Placement: Skinsuits may have front or back zippers, and the zipper placement can vary. Front zippers are more common as they allow for easy ventilation and are more practical during the run.
Pockets: Some triathlon skinsuits have small pockets in the back or sides for carrying nutrition, gels, or other essentials needed during the race. These pockets are designed to minimize drag and provide easy access.
Chamois Pad: For comfort during the bike leg, many skinsuits have a small chamois pad that offers some cushioning without being too bulky. This is especially important for longer-distance races.
Grippers: Leg grippers at the hems help keep the suit in place, preventing it from riding up during the race. This ensures a secure fit and reduces the risk of chafing.
Sun Protection: Some skinsuits also offer sun protection to shield athletes from harmful UV rays during outdoor races.
Sleeve Length: Skinsuits may have different sleeve lengths, from sleeveless to short-sleeve or long-sleeve options. The choice of sleeve length depends on the athlete's preference and the race conditions.
Rules and Regulations: It's essential for triathletes to check the rules and regulations of the specific race they are participating in regarding permissible clothing and equipment, as there may be restrictions on certain features of skinsuits.
Triathlon skinsuits are a valuable addition to a triathlete's gear, as they are tailored to the unique demands of the sport. The right skinsuit can help improve performance by reducing drag, enhancing comfort, and ensuring a seamless transition between the different segments of a triathlon.

User questions & answers
Question: | does this fit on the larger side |
Answer: | It has a small pocket at the small of your back. Presumably for an iPod or smart phone. My iPhone X does fit in the pocket. A word of warning... This suit runs a bit small. I routinely wear spandex in athletics. Normally XL. I bought this suit in XL and it is a bit snugger than I had hoped. Additionally... Don't be surprised if you have to replace the zipper on this suit. I replaced mine with a coat zipper and have not had an issue since. For a low-end speed suit, it's worth the money but again, I suggest replacing the zipper. |
Question: | does this fit on the larger side |
Answer: | The suit is manufactured in Pakistan. |
Question: | Is this true to size ? i don’t know if i should get xs or s |
Answer: | Even if there were one these things are manufactured in China and Indo-China so the size usually is smaller than expected. To give you an idea - I normally wear size L shirts and T-shirts and 34/30 pants. Am around 185 lbs, 5'9". Ordered XL of this Tri Suit and liked the fit. Size L had a better, tighter fit in the leg but was too tight in the chest and shoulders. I figured breathing was more important so size XL it is for me. |
Question: | Does it have a built in bra |
Answer: | No. You only get one when you place the order. The picture that shows six is just displaying the colors that they can be ordered in. |

This reduces the chance of chafing on the run, and also means it dries more quickly. However, the chamois still provides enough padding for comfortable bike riding and does not hinder you on the run.
- ✅ PREMIUM EVERYTHING: Unlike the big brands that overdesign and overcharge, we make high-quality tri suits that are designed by athletes for athletes. We’ve built SLS3 to reflect our passions and values: make an awesome product at an affordable price, delivered straight to your house.
