2XU Women's Active Tri Singlet Reviews

I cannot say enough good things about this singlet.  I now own 3 of them and am SO sorry that you have discontinued them!  I bought the first one to train for my first triathlon.  They have now taken me through 2 triathlons (Yes, swimming biking and running!) and over 100 miles of running.  Having once run in this, I would never use anything else.  It is so comfortable and supportive that I now wear it daily to work as well, which is why I have 3 and will buy another if you ever have them on sale again.  A great garment at a great price.

I am training for my first 1/2 IronMan and the other tri shirts I bought always seemed to be either too tight and rode up (if I went with a M), or too loose and bulky (if I went with a L).  For sizing purposes - I am 5'2 about 125 pounds and a 34D - I bought a large in this style based on the other reviews and was very happy.  While a little big in the waist and chest area, it fits perfect in the hips and never rides up.  I really love the material too because it keeps me cool after getting wet, but not soaking.  My only complaint is that the 2  pockets in the back are really not big enough or deep enough so they can only fit 1 goo or chomps.

This was a comfortable top that fit well.  I ordered a large because most tri tops seem to run small, but this was not the case.  I could have ordered the medium and been happy, but the large worked and was comfortable.
The only complaint I have with this top is the pockets.  There are 2 pockets on the back that are completely useless!  I could barely fit one gel into each pocket, and even then they hung out.  I ended up losing a gel on the run because it just didn't fit.

Great fit and very comfortable! True to size. Did my first triathlon in this top and it was perfect for swimming, cycling and running.

i have 2 other tri outfits.  This is the most comfortable.  Since you will be moving in 3 sports, ideally you should not be reminded of what you are wearing.  This moves with you, like second skin.

Size: Feels too small

The design and fabric were great, but the size seemed much smaller than I expected. I'm disappointed because I have an event coming up and I have to start shopping again. Sure liked that outfit!

I bought this for an upcoming Sprint Tri.  I haven't used it in the water, yet, so I can't comment on how it feels to swim in or how it dries in transition.  However, I have used it for running and cycling and so far I am liking it.  It incorporates a shelf bra, which does fine for me.  But I would expect that it might not work as well for large chested women.  It has two very small pockets on the sides.  I struggled to get a small bag of sport beans in one.  I think a GU would fit in the pocket, but ultimately, they might be useless depending on what you hoping to store.  I like the fabric.  It's lightweight and keeps me cool.  Seems to wick sweat well.  As with other tops of this nature, it can be difficult to take off--especially after a long, hard workout.

bought this top to wear during my 1st tri.  really wanted to go shopping locally so i could try garments on 1st but knew i could get a better deal online.  took a chance and luckily all worked out.  it fit comfortably and it turned out the size i picked fit well after much nervousness!  got wet in the shower then went for a bike ride and run to see how it was gonna feel like on race day and was kinda surprised - material did not completely dry during all that time.  clothing was still damp at the end, although on my body it didn't feel wet, only if i touched it.  was kinda nice b/c i think that helped keep me cool when out on a hot day.

I am training for my first triathlon (sprint distance).  I bought this thinking I would wear it race day, but now I think I will probably race in a tri-suit because top does ride up a little bit, which may get annoying.  I am normally a Medium (for reference, I'm a 36A with a 29" waist) and I bought a Large after reading some reviews that it runs small and I hate when things are too tight across the ribcage.  I then had to exchange because the Large was too big for the swim portion and I had way too much room in the chest, therefore no support for the run.  Stick to your normal size, you want a more snug fit to reduce drag and have better support.
