Subject: RE: First Sprint Tri Gear I'm also preparing for my first tri and had many of the same questions. I finally broke down and bought tri shorts (Zoot 8-inch TriFit shorts) which I got on sale at Team Estrogen. Though I have yet to try them wet, I was thrilled after my first bike/run last week. The thin chamois was perfect for the ride and I couldn't even feel it during the run. Plus, the shorts are tight to the point that they really supported my thighs - it felt like light compression though I don't remember that being in the product description. The other thing I got was a bib belt so that I don't have to mess with safety pins and t-shirts, etc. |
