Kids Trisuits For Pool Based Junior Triathlon & Duathlon
The title might a tiny bit misleading, as kid’s trisuits for pool based Junior triathlon and duathlon are also perfect for open-water triathlon and aquathlon, worn under the child’s wetsuit. So a trisuit really is an essential garment to get right!
Why else is it important? Well, your child will do the whole spectrum of disciplines in one garment, so it’s design must cope with the rigours of the Swim, Bike & Run, be fast drying and remain comfortable throughout.
Where possible (it isn’t always possible, especially in TriStart) tighter is better than loose. Trisuits will always stretch slightly over time and during the swim, tighter means reduced drag in the water. This also helps to reduce wind resistance on the bike, where the materials ‘wicking’ properties become key to drying your triathlete out quickly, pulling moisture away form the skin to evaporate. A ‘tri-specific’ pad which is smaller than a typical cycling pad is also an important detail.
