+++++++++
Team,
We have fired up an order of the Endurance Nation M-2 Course Trisuit.
Visit the EN Store on Trisports to order
This order closes on Monday, MaY 16th
My notes for you, PLEASE READ:
- This is a pre-order: you order during this ordering window, then we close out ordering on this item. We place the order with LG, and it's delivered in about mid-July, I expect.
- We will maintain no inventory on these trisuits. If you want one, you need order it, now, while ordering is open.
- This is a once-per-year order of this item. Very, very unlikely that we will be placing another order this year.
- There are no returns or exchanges on this item, no exceptions, though you are free to exchange sizes with each other if you can find a match on the Team.
- This is very, very good, specialized, fast kit. I raced in this suit at IMWI and it's friggin' awesome...but highly specialized. Make sure you read the item description so you know what to expect.
- This kit also fits very, very tight. Make sure you do your homework on the size charts. On race day I was 5'9", ~152lb, 29" waist and 39-40" chest. I wore a medium and it fit me perfectly. However, right now I weigh ~163-164lb and I'm not sure it would fit all that well. In other words, I recommend you consider this suit to be an excellent body composition improvement motivator...because it's tight, fast, and fits very well if you're honest with the sizing and Find Jeebus to get down to race weight.
Any questions? Please ask and those with experience with this suit can help you. If you're in and have purchased during this order, please post up to this thread so we can keep it near the top of the Not Read view and everyone's radar during this ordering window. Thanks!

Link to size chart?
Do not see on http://www.trisports.com/en-m2-course-triathlon-skin-suit.html
Thanks.
Ugg...here's the chart, working with them to add it to the item description:
http://custom.louisgarneau.com/medi...art_en.pdf
Medium, maybe a small but use the charts. Yes, expect a tight fit, no matter what size you get.
A small was right for me at 150 / 5'11" / 38".
A. this is a mens item correct? IE: I'm a totally different size in women fit than mens based on charts in link
2. the description of clothing with the size chart states that racer fit is once size smaller than standard fit. I am assuming racer fit would be the suit. SOOO, if I order a medium, it will fit like the measurements of a small?
C. having worn an LG EN tri short last year in women medium and looked like a sausage, I really really want to get the fit right. That and I have boobs, and its no return.
4. Rich, can you say if there is any stretch to the material? I had the TYR Team USA carbon trisuit from 2011 with no stretch. Um, it stretched in the a$$ and I can not wear it anymore in fear of busting through that bad boy and representing the USA in all the wrong ways. I really don't want to drop $225 for a one and done suit, if you know what I mean!
I "should" be a go for the medium based on the chart, but wanted to ask my pesky questions first.
Women:
Is there interest (as in, "yes, I would buy this") in a women's version of this item? I'm working to find out what our minimum order quantity is but want to get an idea of what the interest is before I get too far down that road.
Posted on the dashboard so hopefully some responses here...
Have any ladies worn these? My concern is comfort. There is enough uncomfortable about what we do. I don't want my clothes to be miserable too.
Is it here yet?
1. If comparing the pad in this suit to Desoto bib shorts, is it more like the thin 4mm Forza pad or the 7 mm Riviera pad?
2. Anyone know what size Patrick or Withrow had last year? The height of the 5'11" guys helps me, but not the 150 lbs....I need an example with some weight/mass.
I raced Austin 70.3 last year in a Medium, I am 6'3" ~165lbs and was happy with the fit. The suit is very comfortable for me glad to be getting an EN version of it!
I can take more detailed pictures or measurements of mine if anyone needs it.
Edit: my preorder is placed!
Someone mentioned internal pockets. They are TINY...able to hold say, one GU packet, or a 100 cal Clif Bar like they hand out @some IMs.
A big plus...full zip front.
The Large fit me well last year at 5'10" & 173lbs. We passed around a fit kit before placing the order and the medium seemed much smaller for me in the legs and shoulders. The pad is similar to the Desoto tri bibs (smaller pad).
Update on the women's version:
They do not offer a sleeved women's tri suit. Here is the sleeveless they have for the women.
Price would be the same as the men's suit ($225) and min order quantity to make this happen is 4.
So...how many women are interested?
I am interested-are there three others?
Thank you for organising this skin suit.
I Have my skin suit in the cart @ www.trisports.com. I have asked them a question about combining my current back order and having everything ship to DXB at one time to reduce freight.
Seriously, if you're interested I need you to (1) post up here and (2) PM me your email addy so I can reach out to you directly to push you to a page to order. This ordering needs to be wrapped up by Friday, no exceptions, but if we're going to make this happen for you I need to do several things first. Thanks!
