Forza Tri Suit

Fit Note: This garment is designed to be a snug, compressive fit. Please order as per the size chart to gain the full intended benefits. Customers who are not accustomed to wearing compressive garments may wish to either order up a size, or select a garment with a less compressive feel.

Susan says: I wore the DeSoto Forza Tri Suit for 4 triathlons in 2009. I found that the suit runs true to the size chart. While I normally wear a small in most brands, the DeSoto chart put me in the medium and I found that to be accurate.

This suit is incredibly comfortable. The Forza fabric dried completely in just a few minutes out of the water. The pad was plenty for both sprint and Olympic distance events. And on the run, I really appreciated the compressive (but not squeezy looking) legs *and* the back pocket for stashing an extra Gu. The lack of leg grippers was an extra bonus, as I often find leg grippers too tight on my muscular quads.
