Sleeved trisuit question.

in General Training Discussions

For those  of you that have the new EN sleeved trisuit or similar, and have raced with it in a wetsuit, did you wear it fully zipped up under the wetsuit, or did you roll it waste down like folks do with skinsuits?   If you had it fully on, did you experience any restriction or chafing? 

The Gulf of Mexico is still 85 degrees and Tampa Bay is 87 degrees...don't think I'll be able to test this before IM Louisville.

    No problems with it fully zipped up. No restriction of movement.

    I wore the EN trisuit on Sunday fully zipped under my wetsuit. Didn't even know it was there. Water temps in Madison were mid 70's.

    I'd like to add into this...did the people that wore the new EN suit also wear it on the run with no issues?

    Don't mean to hijack the thread but it's all related. image

    I wore my brand new EN tri top (sleeves went almost down to my elbows) and tri shorts at IMWis this weekend. I unzipped the top about 3 inches so the zipper wouldn't be right at my adam's apple under my wetsuit for the swim. Didn't even feel it the whole time. The kits are AWESOME, except my shorts are ripped now after crashing my bike. I wore mine for the whole race and unzipped the top a bit further during the run until right before the finish...

    The sleeves are super tight. I wouldn't want to try to put it on while wet. It also took me several minutes to pry myself out of it after the race, but felt like a super hero while it was on!

    Thx Team. I don't have JW's build so the sleeves fit just right for me. I will be wearing it under my wetsuit for IM Louisville next month.

    I wore mine all day..no issues all day. Like JW I crashed and ruined my suit. I'll be coordinating another group buy as a result as I can't imagine racing in anything else now. Stay tuned.

    @ Jeremy - I would be willing to crash mine only if I KQ like you (congrats again!). Otherwise, I'm hoping to get a little more use out of mine.

    I wore mine on my HIM RR last Saturday.  Loved it, although its a bit tight in the arm pits. I plan to wear it at USAT LC AG champs on 9/26.  Will wear under farmer john wetsuit.  I assume sleeves will be legal if swim is wetsuit legal.  If have to use speed suit, may need to put on top in T1.
