Worked great, but don't order it in white
The tri suit worked great for my recent triathlon. However, once the tri suit was wet, the white section was almost see-through. I would suggest a different color. The suit is a little difficult to get on as it doesn't stretch much, but I have not had a rip or issue with the material. It is comfortable, and fits well. I am 5' 9" 190 lbs.

Good overall quality
Bought for my first sprint triathlon, 800m swim 10 mile bike 3 mile run. I had zero issues with it. Dried quick on the bike. Had no rubbing issues on leg, neck and or the zipper. The zipper held and is intact. This tri suit gives you zero modesty in the bottom half. It was not see through for the orange areas. It did a good overall job all around. The pattern was not fantastic but i knew that going into it. I will probably use this suit again next year for my future tri's.

Well worth the money! You won't be disappointed.
The suit worked great for my first sprint triathlon it was amazingly cool on a 100⁰+ day with even higher temps it seemed to have a cooling effect even. The suit was extremely comfortable in any position I move. It did not slow my swim time at all, in fact my swim was faster than normal. Idk if the swim can be attributed to the suit, but the cycling times definitely can. This suit makes a huge difference in my cycling times. I now wear it anytime I'll be riding with faster groups. It cuts through the wind just like my tri bike. The pockets in the legs have never dropped anything. I feel confident putting a debit card and a car key in these pockets on the legs. The rear pockets are positioned so that they do not catch any water during the swim. The padding is adequate for a sprint but I still wear a pearl izumi chamois under it for long fast rides. Plus with the added jammers or chamois shorts it keeps everything a little more discreet than my other tri suits. This is the one I use more than the ones I've spent hundreds of dollars on. White is see through after the swim so either get cut or pick another color. These also make me appear much slimmer than I am in real life. I'm 6'3" and 225-245lbs. It can be worn with or without jammer shorts, cycling shirts, or pretty much any combo you'd like to throw on for the day. The compression has held true through countless miles and washed after every ride without any noticeable shrinkage. I love how it can also be rolled down from the top for the run portion on super hot days. This suit is nicer than my expensive ones, and I'll be purchasing more for color options. There doesn't seem to be a need to worry about it's longevity, I've put countless chlorinated pool swims in, open water swims, at least 500-1000 miles on the bike, and roughly a couple hundred miles running/jogging in it now, still looks like the day it did when I got it on the doorstep. No signs of lose seams or wear and tear. The pockets still hold items tightly with no permanent stretch, even bike grime has washed right out. Bought in a need to get a suit next day and so glad this is the one I went with.

Excellent fit and comfort!
I don't do a lot of triathlons, but occasionally I do sprint triathlons. With that said, this is a great price for sprint Tris and unlike some tri suits, this one's zipper doesn't rip at the skin. I even use this just to swim laps at the pool as it is just as quick as my swim jammers. Admittedly, I have very pale skin and a bit of a belly as I work a lot at a desk in my home office, so being able to wear this at the pool allows me to not have the embarrassment of my pasty white fat belly in a public pool while still being quick in the water as compared to wearing a rash guard T-shirt which drags like crazy. Why do I share this last part? I'd love to normalize tri suits for lap swimming so I'm not the only one.

Perfect
I've worn this suit twice while training for a sprint. First was a brick bike/run and the 2nd was a swim then a brick. I had to drive about an hour from the swim to the brick and the suit was almost dry. I think it would have been dry within 20 to 30 minutes if i had gotten straight on the bike.I have never worn anything this tight and im getting used to the idea of all these tight clothes. But its actually pretty comfortable.Time will tell how it holds up.

Good for Training; Too Revealing for Group Activities
Used this today for a swim (600 meters) and a bicycle ride (28 miles). The material on this tri suit is thin! As others have noted, the light colored material is see-through when wet which is not a big deal since that is limited to the upper body. It performed well in the pool and I had no discomfort or binding issues. As for the cycling, the material tends to bunch on the upper thighs and the seat padding is thin. It took a little adjusting, but did not cause any major discomfort while riding (I set my PB this year for 40k!). As for sizing, it fits as the sizing chart describes. I usually wear a large for most garments, but this one is sized that I had to order the XL. That being said, if you have a muscular body and are very well hung, AND want to show it all off, this suit will definitely do that. For those of us who are middle aged, average size and in good physical shape, this will suffice for individual training. For the price, it works.
