Sparx 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 waited to write the review until I had trained in it (for 2 weeks) and completed a tri in it. This suit is a great option for those on a budget. It fits well, seems to be made well and has a lot of pockets which is awesome for training rides / runs. I love the color and for reference am 5’7” and a size 12/14 I’m dresses and jeans. I finished my first sprint triathlon in this suit and plan to wear it again for my next one!

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.

Pros decent fit,nice colors Cons very thin fabric in breast area it will show you breast lining

Love the pockets and the fit. Do not like how incredibly see through the suit is.

I like the style, design, material and the color. It fits just right and it looks good on. The only thing I don’t like is the leg length, is a bit long for me, it could be because I am only 5 feet tall.😊 Overall, I love it!🏊🏽🏊🏽

The fit of the suit was wonderful! I was fearful that the material wouldn't stretch enough for I do have big thighs, but my thighs were nicely held in the suit and had extra stretch. Same for the skin grippers there was no massive slipping. I had bought the company's 2XL size suit. Wonderful suit, most definitely will be purchasing another suit from Sparx!

This seems to be beautifully made. Good quality. I followed the size chart and the legs come down to my kneecaps and are loose. I’m 5’5” And not a small person. I would never be able do bike or run in this.
