Fit guide
Wetsuit Fitting
A triathlon wetsuit should feel close, supportive, and performance-ready. This guide walks through what a proper fit should feel like and what to check before you get in the water.
Watch the fitting video first, then use the notes below to confirm your suit is sitting the way it should.
How to Fit Your Wetsuit
Follow the step-by-step fitting process in the video, then use the checklist below for final confirmation.
What to Expect
All done. If the suit has not already settled on your body, it will within a few strokes in the water. If this is your first time, do not fret. After a few uses, it becomes second nature.
- A triathlon wetsuit is meant to fit snug.
- It will feel much less snug when wet, so it should feel tight when dry.
- If you are wet or sweaty, it is nearly impossible to put on a wetsuit, so make sure you are dry and cool first.
Common Fit Reminders
The suit is not a dry suit, so some water will enter. If you experience excessive sloshing, the suit may be too big and could require a size exchange.
If the suit feels tight while swimming, try opening your neck slightly to allow some water in.
New suits become more flexible after a few swims, so take some time to ensure the fit is truly correct once the suit has had a little use.
