Hello Everyone,
Can anyone advise me on the best place for buying good quality tri-gear online. I live in the North East and we do not have a dedicated tri clothing retailer nearby. I need to trisuit and the one I recently ordered is apparently now discontinued (Orca).
I usually but from Wiggle but they seem to have little or no stock of trisuits...where else can I look?
Cheers folks,

Good luck!
Thanks very much
The problem with ordering stuff of the internet is fit, especially when it comes to trisuits,wetsuits and shoes. When I bought a new suit recently I tried quite a few on, and found that I fitted nicely into a medium Ironman one, but not into the medium 2XU one, and couldnt even get the saucony one past me waist! There is a huge variability in size and fit and because a trisuit is supposed to be very well fitting, if it even slightly baggy or too tight it will be horrible in the race.
So my advice is a bit of travelling may be in order. Where exactly do you live? It is worth travelling an hour or maybe two to a decent shop where you can try on the suits. Maybe if you havent got a wetsuit and was planning on getting one this is an oppotunity to try on a few of those aswell, even if you dont buy it you will know which ones from which companies fit you well.
You could be right. I don't want to go forking out £60 odd quid on sth that doesn't fit. I live in Newcastle. Perhaps a day off work and a trip to Leeds is on the cards. problem is, once I get into a store, i will go crazy and yet another credit card will be maxed out!!! All good fun though. Which shop in Leeds would you reccommend?
Appears they have 2008 kit in stock and some earlier year stuff.
