Subject: Need Women's Tri Short Advice! Last year I did two sprints in compression shorts and a cotton wicking tank. I'm ready to step it up and I've decided to get a 2-pc. trisuit. Here's the issue-- there's no stores in my area that have tri clothes (NE Ohio ) so if I order, I am trying to do it right the first time. I have a 28 inch waist and 43 inch hips. Do I order according to the waist, and hope the hip part is stretchy enough? Do I order according to the hip, and hope the waist doesn't sag?
I looked at some Zoots, which seem to be popular on this board, but somewhere else I read that they don't have hip room. Then I read that 2XU shorts have a lot of leg room, which is good because I get "sausage thigh" very easily. Then I looked at the Shebeest SSS, and Pearl Izumis, and this process has overwhelmed me into not buying anything!
Any advice for a girl with a ridiculous waist-to-hip ratio? I'd like a 6-8 inch inseam, the longer the better.
Thanks so much! It's really helpful to know that I'm not the only person on the course who isn't a stick insect!
