This suit is comfortable and breathable. There is no bike pad. This is disappointing.

great for racing
Prompt delivery
I bought this at the Danskin expo (less $$ than online) and wore it the next day for the race. As soon as I put it on, I knew this was a perfect outfit. It felt great and on race day I had no problems or distractions from the tri suit. I wish I had purchased it awhile ago. No chaffing, no riding up, very comfortable and the design was nice too- Not just a plain black. I am very pleased and happy with it.
I used this for training and my first sprint triathlon. I loved it. The fabric was light enough, but held the "fluff" in. Best of all I didn't feel self conscious walking around in it like I would have in a traditional swim suit. Time will tell how it will last, but I was very pleased with it's performance.
I'd like to see a small pocket on the front or on the side of one leg. As a beginner, I don't feel comfortable reaching behind my back to unzip the pocket while I'm biking which keeps me from reaching nutrition during the biking portion of the triathlon. Other than that, the suit is really great and I would highly recommend it to others.
I felt confident in my very fist tri thanks to your outfit...my only complaint is i am fairly well endowed so i felt alittle bouncy even with the sports bra underneath
I finished my 1st tri today and this puppy carried me through 100%. It worked flawlessly in the swim, dried quickly during the bike ride and didn't ride up AT ALL. I'll be participating in tri's from this day forward and this outfit will be the 'chosen one.' [...]

Since this is my 1st tri-suit purchase I don't have anything to compare it to. However,my biggest complaint is that it stretched so much after the swim...it just felt too baggy and if I had gotten a size smaller....I would not have been able to zip it. The shorts part made me feel like I had saggy baggy legs. It also stayed wet during the bike and run portion of my tri :( AND, the decals are starting to peel off after only 5 wearings and washings :(
In spite of all the negatives---it did look good at the start!
from Odessa, Florida on 6/25/2008
The suit fit like a glove, true to size and very comfortable. I wear it training for my next triathlon. Haven't tried it in a race yet but am looking forward to it.

from Crestview, FL on 6/24/2008
I used the suit in my first triathlon. The sizing chart had my waiste two sizes larger than hips or bust. I chose the inbetween size but wished I had stayed with my usual size (hips/bust). I had to add bust support since it was a little large on me there.
The suite was great in the race, legs didn't ride up, was great in the swim. Glad I had it.

from Lampasas, TX on 6/18/2008
After doing the Danskin Tri in Tyr swimsuit for 2 years I decided to try a tri-suit. This was GREAT - much nicer than swim suit and shorts. Easy to swim in, looks nice (I was pleasantly surprised to see detail on back). Only downer: I bought online before the Danskin Tri (thinking that the prices at the expo would be higher). Expo prices were actually lower [$]. That is my only disappointment.
from Austin, TX on 6/11/2008
Kudos to Danskin! Someone finally got it right with a stylish, true-to-size, highly functional tri suit. To date, I've worn this tri suit for swim workouts and brick workouts...no races yet, I wear my 2-piece Danskin tri outfit for those! It provides good coverage in all the right places while still feeling comfortable. I like that the shorts have a longer inseam and the leg grippers stay put no matter how wet the shorts get. The contrast color seaming provides a nice streamlined look and slimming effect. I get compliments every time I wear it! This suit is a great value for the money, and trust me, I've spent much more $$ for other brands that aren't nearly as nice.
from Santa Cruz, CA on 6/10/2008
I like this suit a lot and plan to use it for my first triathlon. I've done running races but needed something new so that I wouldn't need to change after the swim portion. I have enjoyed training in this suit. My only complaint is sizing. I am a big girl, but athletic. I wish that the suit came in whole sizes like 14, 16, 18, etc. instead of XL:14-16, XXL:18-20. The XL was too tight under the arms and at the lower leg, but the XXL (which I am using) is way too big in the torso (I have lots of loose bunching fabric). The suit also seemed to stretch out a bit after being used. I am sure I could address my fit issues by wearing a two piece suit, but I like the advantages of a one-piece.
from Titusville, FL on 6/4/2008
Love the true-to-size fit and material feel. This is the first unitard I've found to secure my DD chest; be sure to lock down the zipper! I wear a Danskin bra under this suit for adequate support and it is still comfortable. The bra and suit have the same style cut so there is no binding and the bra doesn’t show. Even with the bra the suit dries quickly. The leg pockets are great for carrying energy gels as they're easy to access on the bike and run. The silicon leg grips keep the suit in place which adds to the comfort level.
from Bowie, Maryland on 6/3/2008
I use the suit during water aerobics
from Pacific, WA on 6/3/2008
I used the suit for my first tri and it worked great. But... before I used it I had to sew some soft material around the inside bottom of the zipper, because it was stiff and poking me right in the belly button.
from Euless, TX on 5/30/2008
I love this product!! The fit is o.k. and I love the style. It keeps you cool after the swim! I have no chaffing and no uncomfortable stitching!
from Orlando, FL on 5/23/2008
The suit is very comfortable! It's also easy to clean and maintain.
from texas on 5/22/2008
this fits true to size. i was so paranoid about it being too small that i ordered a size up. should have just ordered my regular size. wore it anyway to train and in my very first sprint triathlon. it was comfy, dried fast and the padding is just right for the bike and the run-no bulkiness.
from Ottawa Lake, MI on 5/13/2008
I wore my tri suit for my first race and looked like a winner right off the bat! A confidence builder - the suit is so practical!
from Lake County, FL on 5/12/2008
My daughter and I both used this suit in the Orlando Race this weekend and loved it. After trying to put on bike shorts in past races when you are soaking wet, this was ideal! The legs never rode up on me whether I was swimming, biking or running. I did notice that it didn't dry very fast but that could have been because I put a shirt on over it after the swim. In any case, will definetely wear it again, whether in a race or even in fitness classes.
from Minneapolis, MN on 5/2/2008
After being traumatized by triathlon suits and how unattractive they can be, it was a relief to find one that is cute AND looks good on!!
from Waterville, OH on 4/30/2008
The suit is great for swimming, doesn't bind or inhibit movement. Pockets on thighs are convenient but small - good for a key or a gel, but that's about it.
I received the suit promptly but was shipped one size smaller than I had ordered. Tried it on and it fit - yay Lycra!
The fit and style are nice however i expected a bit more compression and the bottom of the zipper inside is bulky and scratchy.
from Orlando, FL on 4/17/2008
I received my trisuit today and was very nervous about trying it on. I hate ordering any clothes online without trying it on first, especially something fitted. I had my friend take my measurements and we figured out what size I was. I ordered it and it fit PERFECTLY when I tried it on...I have been told with a lot of brands to by a size bigger in trisuits because they run tight, but I read the reviews and everyone said true to size so I trusted it. I am very please and cannot wait to test it out in my open water swim this weekend!
Tracking said it would be here on Friday and it arrived Thursday!! YAY!

from Kent on 3/14/2008
I really like this unitard. It is definitely stylish. I even, dare I say feel somewhat sexy in it. It wears well in the pool and washes well,too. The only thing I see wrong is that is doesn't have the zippered back pocket. The side pockets really don't do well to hold one's asthma inhaler(in a protective water holder). So, I tuck it under the legging of the unitard.
