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

This is my first one of these for my first triathlon. I have nothing to compare to but I’m happy. I like that it doesn’t ride up in the legs. I’m 5’9” 205, not fat really but my daughters say I have a dad body. I ordered a XL and it fits fine. It’s not see through but there is absolutely nothing hidden in this thing. I wear a tshirt and bicycle shorts over it unless I’m in the water since I live in town and don’t want to advertise or make people nauseous. What I needed. Quality seems good. I’ve wore it maybe 10 times I guess and it seems like new. I’m probably going to order another one so I can have an extra.

Used this today for a swim (600 meters) and a bicycle ride (28 miles). The material on this tri suit is thin! As others have noted, the light colored material is see-through when wet which is not a big deal since that is limited to the upper body. It performed well in the pool and I had no discomfort or binding issues. As for the cycling, the material tends to bunch on the upper thighs and the seat padding is thin. It took a little adjusting, but did not cause any major discomfort while riding (I set my PB this year for 40k!). As for sizing, it fits as the sizing chart describes. I usually wear a large for most garments, but this one is sized that I had to order the XL. That being said, if you have a muscular body and are very well hung, AND want to show it all off, this suit will definitely do that. For those of us who are middle aged, average size and in good physical shape, this will suffice for individual training. For the price, it works.

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.

The tri suit worked great for my recent triathlon. However, once the tri suit was wet, the white section was almost see-through. I would suggest a different color. The suit is a little difficult to get on as it doesn't stretch much, but I have not had a rip or issue with the material. It is comfortable, and fits well. I am 5' 9" 190 lbs.

Great quality true to size

Good product. Solid construction and design. Bought medium (am 5'6"). Design probably for taller person, or at least longer torso. Chamois is good quality.

Pros:- I'm broad in the chest, so trying to find a good fit is very difficult. This suit fit very well across the chest, without feeling too baggy around the middle. I was actually pleased with the overall fit and found it quite comfortable to wear. It was great for swimming and I had amazing flexibility without the suit feeling tight in the chest.- The material dries very quickly and the mesh in the back provides excellent ventilation during runs and bike rides.- Love the pockets in the legs!- The grip at the bottom of the suit legs did a great job of keeping the legs from riding up.- The padding in the crotch is ok; good for short rides (12-20 miles) but I would wear my bike shorts or a different suit for longer trips.Cons:- The stitching is poor. After two light uses the seams began to come apart around the neck; an area that is not under a lot of stress. Called Amazon Customer Support and since this is a third party seller, all they could do is refund the money, have me send it back, and reorder a new one. When I looked to buy the suit again, the size I wanted was sold out. I had to go with another manufacturer to get a suit in time for my race. Too bad, because I really liked this suit and was hoping the stitching was a one-time manufacturing defect.- The inseam was a little long. I would have preferred about an inch shorter, but I'm 5'7" and I think my size is for people who are taller.
