Triathlon
Well made
Is large for size guide listed online

This suit replaced a Descente tri suit.  I picked the Peral Izumi because I have used their bike shorts and gloves for years and have been very impressed with their durability.  The tri suit is no exception:  it seems very durable.  However, that is because it is *much* thicker and feels much less smooth and sleek, and less stretchable.  This includes the zipper:  it seems much heavier duty (an issue I had with the Descente), but at the cost of being much bulkier.  And much shorter:  getting into the suit is a struggle, and it''s impossible to use the bathroom without removing it.

Also, the single pocket in the back is really pretty tiny.  The pocket has a "lid" that makes it safer to fill up the pocket, but also makes it harder to get into and out of.  My iPhone barely fits in the pocket (thanks to the lid).  I found I really missed not having a second pocket (so I could put my car key in a different pocket and not scratch my phone).  On race day, who cares:  It''ll hold some Gu packets just fine.  But when training, better pockets would help.

So if you''re looking for a basic durable and long-lasting tri suit, go with this one.  If you''re looking for fast, sleek and light, I''d look somewhere else.

fits good .  Improved my times immediately.

Picked this suit for my first Tri in two months!  Great price and great fit.
I tested it in the pool although it said not recommended for multiple uses in the pool and felt great.  It does start to feel warm when running and I had to unzip to vent.  The pants stayed where they were suppose to and I felt very comfortable.  

I was expecting more compression and hoping for more flotation to help on the swim portion.  Not much flotation and not much compression on the  thighs.  Still a great suit and looking forward to first Tri.

This is a great suit. I was wondered about the fit but fits perfectly. Great for swim, bike or run.
