Runderwear Women's Triathlon Suit | Premium, Padded Performance Tri Suit with Dual Rear Pockets

I LOVE this Runderwear tri suit. I ordered several others--more expensive btw--and to my surprise & delight, this was The Best. (Returned the others.) Here's why:1) It fits great! I usually wear a Large or a 12. (5'7" | 175#) I was a little concerned that this said Large was US 8-10. But the fit is perfect. It's just stretchy enough to have some give, and structured enough to stay in place.2) It's sleek & flattering. I'm a muffin-top grandma, & most tri suits make me look like a grizzly in spandex. Even this tri suit's combination of good design, compression fabric, and solid black color won't have anyone mistaking me for an Olympic triathlete, but I'm super happy with the look. Far superior to anything else I tried on.3) The legs have elastic banding that keeps them from riding up (esp on the bike & run), and it does its job without binding or pinching. Some of the other tri suits I auditioned had no elastic or binding--basically nothin'--that would keep the legs in place. After 32 years of doing triathlons, I can tell you, those are going to ride up & you'll regret the purchase. Throughout the swim, bike, and run, the entire Runderwear suit and the legs specifically stayed in place, and it was total comfort.4) Dress it up, dress it down. The basic black and simple design are stylin' on their own, and also allow you to go wild. I love wearing skirts on the bike & run, so after the swim, I pulled on my "on fire" flame skirt to accessorize. (Forgot the matching arm warmers until the run.) I am super slow, but I look flashy. I got so many compliments on the course.Pro or Con?This does not have a built-in bra, which I'm glad for. The built-in ones are usually terrible. The fit is snug enough you could probably go without, but you'll get more support using your favorite black sports bra.My one little complaint is that the zipper could be longer to make it easier to get in & out of. It's not terrible, and as someone who visits the porta two or three times before the race, I managed okay. But come on, Runderwear, make this great tri suit perfect and give us a longer zipper!

I am new to the triathlon world and wanted an affordable option for races. This suit was great, no chaffing and the back pockets were perfect for storing fuel. The suit is figure flattering and the leg closures are the perfect tightness.The sizing was accurate, I was between a medium and large so I sized up for comfort. It worked. Did not give five stars because the material is a little thinner than I expected.

I’m 5’10” about 150lbs, a medium fit me perfectly. I did still wear a sports bra under it, however. I was worried about padding since I’d never swim or run with any before, but it was light and I really didn’t notice it much. Otherwise the legs stayed put throughout the bike and the run and it didn’t chafe or rub anywhere. Great suit for a first time tri!

Nice Trip Suit. The legs were a bit tight but did not ride up. Swim was good, run was good, bike was ok. It was a 12 mile bike ride, I wouldn't want to go much farther then that with this suit.

Loveeee this! I’m 5’4 and weight 150lbs and it fit perfect. I’ve worn is twice already to train for swimming and biking. Love the concept of this suit. And the gel lining at the end of the shorts are nice so they don’t slip up while your running.

Wore to my first triathlon. Fit snugly, material great for price!
