Subject: De Soto Women's Forza Trisuit

Ladies - I'm looking for a trisuit and I am curious to know if any BT'ers have the De Soto Women's Forza Trisuit since I'm interested in this particular trisuit.  Unfortunately I will have to order it online since it is impossible to find it in person.  Any comments from De Soto owners would be appreciated.

Thank you!

I have the Forza trisuit. I really like it. It's comfortable, fits well, and is quite flattering (even on far-from-perfect bodies). I'm wearing it in my avatar...you can also see more pics of me wearing it in my albums. I got the Graphite/Black color. About the only complaints I have about the suit would be -

1. It does NOT have a built-in bra. This would have been nice and would have eliminated the need for me to wear an additional sportsbra underneath it. But I suppose if you're small-chested, this might not be an issue.

2. It does NOT hold up well in chlorinated pools. I used it a few times on my lap swims at the local outdoor pool. I wanted to test it out in the water to see if it was comfortable to swim in before raceday. The pool chemicals did quite a number on it...certain spots of the suit are getting very thin (almost see-through). SO...keep it out of chlorinated pools.

Thank you Linda - for your reply.  I decided to go with the Forza suit...price was right (on sale) and I liked the granite/black combo as well.  I wish there were more color options though.  The pink or the blue were a bit too bright for me.  Bummer that the Forza doesn't like pools...oh well, I'll be getting myself into the lake before the actual event so I'll be able to do a test run then. whew.
