I have used it for riding and running, feels great, skin tight fit (small im 5'6" 140ish) , the pockets help store gu ect. The only reason didn't give it 5 stars is because the invisipad that it talks about on the summery is actually a double layer of fabric witg what i believe to be felt to help with moisture. I thought it was suppost to be a pad for riding bikes, it provides a small amount of pading and there is not any room to wear shorts underneath. I purchased the 2012 model.

I have always been a big fan of DeSoto! They continue to provide a great roduct! My only complaint about this suit is there is no elastic around the bottom of the legs. When the suit gets wet the edges no longer grip my quads and are loose giving the appearance of an overly stretched suit. Once dried they shrink back and grip again! Overall this is a great product this suit has great compression and fearures and I recommend this product!

I was lured into doing the swimming leg of an Ironman 70.3 and I had no idea about the sport at all. I was heavily advised to get a suit so after some research I found this one. Ordering was a breeze. For those looking, I am 5'9 and 175 pounds and bought the suit size L. Fits like a glove. Supercomfortable. I shed a few seconds per 100mt in the pool. The padding for the bikers seems about right and does not interfere at all with my swimming. It says that is not designed for long term use in a chlorinated pool but that is all I have been doing so far for trainning as is holding great. Surprisingly the pockets do not collect water at all so no holding back. My wife thinks is hillarious how I look so if it bothers you to feel and see yourself almost down to the skin out in the open..... well train more or wear a T shirt I guess.

Sadly, thought the piece was beautiful and true to its claims, i received the wrong size, guess not due to Swim Outlet, but who may have labeled a 'large" an "extra large" and the suit was a large, just too tight!!.... was hoping to use it at a TRI that Sunday (received on thursday), but had to purchase one locally and pay a few dollars more. still will continue to purchase from SwimOutlet......

I have several of these suits and they all look great and function well. Major plus is pockets for your stuff. Never yet have any chafing problems to report with these suits. Would I purchase another of the same? You bet Desoto makes a great product.

I love these suits especially here in the Arizona desert. My main use is mostly for riding but you do stay cool when the weather gets warm.Fit is a little tight to start but you get use to that. And a major plus is all of the pockets for all your stuff.

I would buy this tri suit again. Fits snug/tight in the legs like it should. Used it at tri last week and liked it a lot. Will see if it holds up to use.

Did my first Tri yesterday in the one piece suit.  No drag on the swim, comfortable on the bike and great for  the run.  No chafe anywhere!  Pockets on shorts part were good in that I didn't lose anything out of them.  I'm 6'1", 175 lbs and large fits great.

This suit once you are in it, is great. The compression on the legs is perfect for long durations. The pockets in the back are tight and don't fill up with water during the swim. A bit expensive. Of all my tri suits, I wear this one the most.

My only complaint is the legs are to small for each size. I first tried a med. and there was no way i would fit my legs in. Returned that for a Lg which fits better but a little more snug than would expect. I have other compression clothes that fit a bit better. I'm 5'-10", 179lbs, 33waist, 39chest, 22leg. Hope this helps.

Once you start your swim, ride or run you will notice the support from the compression. It definatly helps.
Cheers....
