"the Epix Gear Airflow Trisuit is much nicer than my Head trisuit. Thoughtful features, but middling marks on comfort."pbolan
Fit
I am a male 5-11, and 163. My suit is a Large, and a bit snug around the waist (33). A medium would be way too small. It's pretty snug around the chest too, so if you have a big barrel chest it would not fit well.
Comfort
There are two chafing points: 1) The top of the zipper has a fold of material on either side which is stiff and angular. It left "snake bites" on my skin after 2 hours of running. Bad enough to leave a scab. I'm hoping a few washes will soften them up, or maybe I'll just snip the corners off with scissors.
2) Some slight chafing around the lower armpit (about 7 o'clock), after three hours of running. Not that bad, but a softer liner around the arm holes would be a good idea.
Adjustability
The zipper works fine. That's all you can adjust.
Durability
No problems.
Value
A comparable mainline suit, like 2xu, would cost much more.
Appearance
Very handsome... the Airflow model, that is.
Customer Service
Quick shipping, with a personal email confirmation.
Performance
Just fine, except for the chafing at the zipper/neck.
Strengths
Attractive design with quality materials. Nice pockets.
Weakness
Chafing at the zipper/neckline after several hours. Sizing is small.

Quality of Construction
Very nicely constructed. The combination of materials and their construction is impressive (I am using the Epix Airflow trisuit.) The back pocket is large enough for three gel packs, and the two leg pockets for one gel pack or keys...about the size of a drivers license.
