Sparx X Triathlon Suit Men Racing Tri Cycling Skin Suit Bike Swim Run

Great looking/feeling tri-suit. I don't have any others to compare it to, but this is comfortable and fits like a second skin. I'm just under 6-feet tall, 165lbs, with a 32" waist. As others have mentioned, it feels slightly short for someone who's 6-foot (likely because the zipper can't stretch), but I didn't find it uncomfortable. I think it would be a perfect fit for someone who's 5'10" or even 5'11''. I tried the suit out for a 4mi run today and was very happy with it. Cooling from the vented panel in the back was noticeable and it seemed to manage the moisture from sweat just like other dri-fit clothes. The bike padding became more comfortable as I broke it in a bit, and hopefully is up to the task of providing comfort in the saddle. It seemed similar to the padding in my bike pants, so I think it will be. As some others have also mentioned, the light colors (I got the orange) can become somewhat transparent when wet. For a man this isn't much of an issue, but if a woman wore this without a sports bra underneath, it may be more revealing than she would like. All in all, I would buy this again and would recommend it.

Good overall but the zipper rubs. I have used this in two sprint triathlon races so far and I am happy with it. It fits well and gets the job done. The only issue I have is the zipper. The zipper has rubbed my chest raw both times. There does appear to be an attempt at a zipper cover but it’s not large enough to cover the entire zipper. If not for the zipper rubbing I would have given a 5 star rating. Hopefully they fix the stitching to cover the zipper in the future.

The suit worked great for my first sprint triathlon it was amazingly cool on a 100⁰+ day with even higher temps it seemed to have a cooling effect even. The suit was extremely comfortable in any position I move. It did not slow my swim time at all, in fact my swim was faster than normal. Idk if the swim can be attributed to the suit, but the cycling times definitely can. This suit makes a huge difference in my cycling times. I now wear it anytime I'll be riding with faster groups. It cuts through the wind just like my tri bike. The pockets in the legs have never dropped anything. I feel confident putting a debit card and a car key in these pockets on the legs. The rear pockets are positioned so that they do not catch any water during the swim. The padding is adequate for a sprint but I still wear a pearl izumi chamois under it for long fast rides. Plus with the added jammers or chamois shorts it keeps everything a little more discreet than my other tri suits. This is the one I use more than the ones I've spent hundreds of dollars on. White is see through after the swim so either get cut or pick another color. These also make me appear much slimmer than I am in real life. I'm 6'3" and 225-245lbs. It can be worn with or without jammer shorts, cycling shirts, or pretty much any combo you'd like to throw on for the day. The compression has held true through countless miles and washed after every ride without any noticeable shrinkage. I love how it can also be rolled down from the top for the run portion on super hot days. This suit is nicer than my expensive ones, and I'll be purchasing more for color options. There doesn't seem to be a need to worry about it's longevity, I've put countless chlorinated pool swims in, open water swims, at least 500-1000 miles on the bike, and roughly a couple hundred miles running/jogging in it now, still looks like the day it did when I got it on the doorstep. No signs of lose seams or wear and tear. The pockets still hold items tightly with no permanent stretch, even bike grime has washed right out. Bought in a need to get a suit next day and so glad this is the one I went with.

I used this for a sprint triathlon. The fit of this suit was great. There was no issue with rubbing around the neck or around the arms. The padding was great for the bike ride and helped mitigate any discomfort while riding. It dried relatively quickly and held up well during the race. My only complaint with this suit is that the bike padding has stitching inside that is exposed. This isn’t a problem when it is dry, but once it is wet and you begin running, the stitching will cause chafing. The design is bearable for about 2.5-3 miles, but any greater distances would become pretty uncomfortable. If they would fix this stitching within the suit to remove the possibility of chafing, it would be an easy 5 stars for this suit.

UPDATED: I just completed my first Sprint Triathlon in this suit and it performed BEAUTIFULLY! A great fit, dried quicker than I expected, and the padding was more than sufficient for the 15 mile bike ride. Very glad I didn't go with a $130 "Specialty store" option and I would recommend this product to any beginner! Looking forward to my next race in this suit! I just began in the triathlon world and needed a suit for my first entry. Didn't want to invest a ton of money and bought this based on reviews. I am 6' 215 and not in ship shape by any means (44" chest, 36" waist). The XXL fits me great! Material is sleek and was not as thin as I feared. It hides all the goodies well and the black/Grey even thinned out the appearance of my midsection. The chamois seems suffient and other than being a little smaller (less area) than my normal cycling shorts, it's not much different. 4 storage pockets are great! They are a little small, and are open top, so they may create a little drag in the water, but I'm not too concerned with that. Based on my initial fears after a ton of research (after trying on MUCH more expensive options in the specialty stores), I can say I am very pleased with the potential of this suit. If it holds together and performs well after my first event, I will add the 5th star! I am sure I will upgrade as I get deeper into this sport, but $50 as an original investment is definitely a bargain! For now, thanks Sparx, and thanks to the seller!
