I am doing my first Tri next month. I'm going to look at trisuits & 2 pieces this week.
What is the prefered choice?
I do have Orca shorts already. But hey, if an all in one is better than I'll blow my wages on that!
Will need to have built in support as well as make me look gorgeous (yeah right!)
Thanks!

I completed my first tri on Sunday just gone and I was asking the same questions. In the end I decided on the shorts and top (hear the all in ones can be expensive) and wanted to make sure I enjoyed my first tri before thinking about the investment. However I think for my own personal preference I will stick with the shorts and top, for now. I would just wear what you are going to feel comfortable in for your first. Enjoy [:)]
No I was surprised by the top and how it does not ride up. You should be fine. My tri top was only a cheapie to and I thought it was great for the price. It was a quintana roo ... top about 7 pounds from JE JAMES CYCLES.
I'm not a fan of the sausage legs and I find Orca's grippers too tight. Try before you buy I suppose and don't think 'oh well my legs will be really muscly by June'! I suppose you won't do that though given that it's May.
Sorry, I went slightly off topic there I think. Hungry.
I tried a 2 piece, but found that I ended up with a big gap at the back when on the bike (in danger of builder's bum). I got a Sugoi all in one which is very comfortable - has a bit of a pad so really good on the bike, whereas my Orca shorts just had a little fleecy pad which isn't nearly as confortable.
I have to admit that I went for one with no support as I need a full on sports bra underneath, and the built in supports tend to be pretty flimsy.
