Evening all!
My husband is considering joining us mad lot in the triathlon game! He is currently looking at entry level tri packages being offered, does anyone have any advice or experience with what these packages offer and the value for money - or is he better off getting it all separately? [8|]

If your hubby is serious about triathlons then Id probably shop around to pick up items that are a better fit and comfort, however if he isnt to sure then go for a package or make do with ordinary non tri specific items
Ive banged on about this for a while now and i finally got mine tri package last week from tri uk. everything you would need bike, tri suit, wetsuit, goggles, bike shoes, new pedals and bike hat.
I got mine and everything fits fine and more than happy with it. Bike really good and a godd intro to the equipement. It was also the cheapest package i could by £200ish!
go to http://triuk.com//index.php?page=shop.browse&category_id=17&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=26&vmcchk=1
hope this helps
and invested in a Package from Tri UK. I went for the £499 package which got me, Foor wetsuit, two piece Foor tri kit, aquasphere gogles, Cannondale/Diadora shoes, Pedals, Giro Helmet and a Giant SCR 3 Bike, which was a surprice as i was expecting an OCR 3.
All in all i am happy with everything although i have yet to use the Wetsuit as i was given an Orca wetsuit.
However,( there has to be one small probelm somewhere), getting a package over the internet means you miss out on that all important free service after you have done a few miles on your brand new bike. So you would have to weigh up the cost of a service to adjust the cables etc once you have clocked up a few miles. Although I still think you would be Quids in! I did contact Triuk and there were happy to service my bike free of charge, but taking the bike from Feltham, Middx to Somerset it quite a drive!
I would still recommend a package, you could always sell what you dont need!
I dont work for them though promise!
