Hi all
Now I am back in training and signed up for my first Duathlon in April, i am unsure whether a tri-suit or similar is worth buying as at this stage I am highly unlike to take part in a triathlon. i

any thoughts gratefully received

    I wear a cheap pair of cycling short when on the bike, and when doing blocks I wear a cheap pair of unpadded shorts, and my buttocks do feel a tad sore after getting off the bike. I also find I get a cold back not wearing all-in-one.

    I could wear what I do now but am considering investing in some decent gear, as I am really enjoyying it.

    I'd go for a tri suit if you can. Will save you time in transition. If cold you can put a cycling jacket over the top

    I did my 1st Duathlon in my cycling shorts and cycling top.

    If you can run in your cycling shorts fine, there's your answer.

    I've got their shorts and top and socks etc.

    Very much, if not an exact copy of the 2XU stuff that's twice the price.
