Hey all.  Just a quick question...  how tight should my tri top be?  I am planning on wearing it under my wetsuit (which I just picked up today)...  when I go to zipper up it bunches a bit in the back and is making me think it may be a bit too big.  Should it be snug? The last thing I want is it getting stuck in my zipper!

It shouldn't be able to wrinkle

My tri top is pretty snug.  No way it could get caught in the zipper.

So if I normally wear a large T shirt, I should be in a medium Tri top I am guessing?

My tops are tight, but I do need to pull it down in back when I put on my wetsuit or it can get caught in the zipper.

I call my tri tops and suits "sausage casings". Seriously.

As with any clothing, sizing can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer; some seem to run small, others true to size. For example, I find Sugoi brand to run small, as I generally wear a size medium with just about all my clothing but I have a few Sugoi tri suits in size large that fit really well.

I noticed the same thing with my 2XU tri suit... bunches up a bit between the shoulders. I think I was feeling a little modest when I went with the XL (I'm a clyde with much work left to do), and it wasn't quite "sausage casing" enough.
