Am I the only one who has a problem finding Tri gear that fits? My chest is 41.5 and my waist is 31. Are there brands that cater to a certain shape? For instance, does Zoot make their clothes more snug while 2XU might make them more loose? Thanks for any insight.

You think you have it bad. My chest is 31" and my waist is 41.5". Finding tri gear that doesn't make you look like sausage link is next to impossible!

Are you using a 1 piece tri suit or 2?

I use 2 for this reason. A large tri top and a small tri short.

Skinny and nearly freakishly tall here. I hate trying to find things that fit well. Grrr. Sorry, no advice here.

Trying to find a 1-piece but I kinda get the feeling that I'll be going with 2.

Me too. I found a nice Zoot tri top last year that covers the whole shoulder and comes all the way down to my shorts. It's the red one in my avatar. It's been great!
