What is triathlon clothing?

Triathlon clothing is built for wearing during the running, swimming and cycling of triathlon races. This clothing can be focused on just one element and easy to change out of, or more commonly designed to be suitable for all three sports.

Who needs triathlon clothing?

Anyone training for or competing in triathlons.

What are the choices?

General cycling kit is often appropriate for the amateur triathlete, but as you get more advanced, you might want to invest in a wetsuit or tri suit, or perhaps a separate jersey and shorts.

What should I buy with them?

You can complement your triathlon kit with some normal cycling clothing, particularly for training. Also, don’t forget the aero helmet.

Anything else?

Make sure your tri clothing suits the type of event and distance you’re targeting. For longer events you may be happy to switch outfits during transition, but for short, fast tri races, you will want to go for an all-round tri suit or wetsuit.
