EN TRI TOP/Bottom

[Deleted User] · June 24, 2015 8:54PM

Hello! I have had the EN tri top and bottom in the cart for a week now because I am hemming and hawing on the purchase. I usually wear a medium size tri short, but the EN shorts are only available in small and large. Can anyone speak to the fit of this gear? I am just under 5'7" and weigh about 145-150 - I think the large shorts may be fine, but not sure... any thoughts? Also, for those who have raced in the gear, have you been happy with it? Any info would be great. Thank you!

I have the top, but not the shorts, mostly because I already had a pair of shorts I was happy with. So can't speak to the fit of the bottoms, but would HIGHLY suggest getting the top. The support you'll get from all your teammates and their support crews as you will instantly be identified as EN is a HUGE factor.

I had done the same thing ( left it in the cart while I considered sizing) and now the size(s) I need are gone. Does anyone know if more ever become available? I am racing in early October.

I have the bottoms in a small... And they are SMALL!! I'm 5'7 128 and probably should have gone with the medium. Hope that helps!

I will check this weekend, but I think I might have medium or large bottoms that really don't fit well for a bike short. I will post and if someone wants to buy from me I will be happy to mail it.. (haven't worn them yet )

I still haven't returned my bottoms. They are supposed to be large or XL, I don't recall but I can't even pull them up. They MIGHT be a normal medium. shartmann2008@gmail.com if you are interested in trying them. Otherwise they are scheduled to be returned.

Amy...you may want to consider this...http://members.endurancenation.us/Forums/tabid/57/aft/18964/Default.aspx

The shorts run REALLY small! I am 5'3", 112 lbs and had to get a medium!

Thanks everyone. I think I may just go with the top for now. I am worried about the investment in the shorts if they run really small. Time is ticking anyway, as I am thinking of all this for Tremblant. Not even sure it will come in time...But at least I have a visor and hat, so there will be SOME representation from me for EN. Thanks again!

Okay - YIKES! Now the only tri top available is XL/XXL. I am small chested, but larger framed. The word I am getting from everyone is that this gear runs really small. Who has an XL? Would it be nutty to order one in this size? (My bra size usually runs 34/36) I will not order if it will be so loose as to flap around, but do not mind a little give in the fit. I know I would be thankful to have some sort of EN gear on race day, because I will appreciate support from the team. To order or not to order? Thoughts?

I'm returning a large top if you are interested.

Stephanie, Yes. That may be the way to go, if you don't mind. What are your thoughts on the sizing of the top? The large will certainly be a better fit than the XL that's available from the team store... If you do not mind me asking, are you wanting to return it because of the fit or the quality?

If we are a go, I can send you a check for the $ and then you can mail the top up to me. Will that work for you?

Thanks! -Amy

I actually like the top, it's just too snug

[Deleted User] · June 29, 2015 2:32PM

Sounds good! Email me at naturerunr@gmail.com. We can work out the shipping details and make it happen. Thank you!!!

Marian Desimone · August 23, 2015 1:59PM

Ok, I just know I will not wear my EN kit, because it is too snug for my curves.. I have the medium top and bottom, never been wore, tags still on both, and will happy sell the whole kit for 60$ plus postage.. email me at mariand100@gmail.com with your address and it is yours!!!

Stephanie Hartmann · August 24, 2015 11:31AM

I still have the XL bottoms if you want to try them. Email me at shartmann2008@gmail.com. Tags still on. If you they don't work we can send them back. $40.00

Thanks!

Marian, I'm interested in the Med shorts. Can you email me and we can work out the cost/shipping? Dbsantucci@comcast.net

So I am assuming these run small? I guess if I buy the top I should size up?
