The spectacular oceanside view of San Diego and the casual work environment are not the only reasons Desoto's 15 person team is energetic and hard working. Composed of Competition-minded triathletes and non-triathletes alike, DeSoto was founded by Emilio DeSoto in 1990. Mr. DeSoto still works side by side with his design team, and enjoys speaking with customers about his company's feedback. DeSoto outfits the modern triathlete with a line of tops, bottoms, skin suits, caps and gear that have become preferred by triathletes nationwide.
