Triathlon : swim bike run
Triathlon engages the entire body and strengthens the cardiovascular system through its three disciplines: swimming, cycling, and running. Each discipline uniquely contributes to your physical condition:
- Swimming: Tones the legs, develops the arms, shoulders, and chest.
- Cyclisme : Muscle les fessiers, les cuisses et le haut du corps.
- Running: Enhances muscle strength and improves cardiovascular health.
The Importance of Transitions in Triathlon
Les transitions entre la natation, le cyclisme et la course à pied sont cruciales pour réaliser le meilleur temps. La trifonction est spécialement conçue pour ces moments critiques, vous permettant de passer rapidement d'une discipline à l'autre sans perte de temps. La trifonction permet de nager, pédaler et courir sans changer de tenue, minimisant ainsi le temps perdu lors des transitions. Nos trifonctions peuvent être portées sous une combinaison néoprène ou seules, lorsque l'eau est suffisamment chaude.

Criterias for choosing your trisuit
Determine your triathlon distance
The distance of your triathlon significantly influences the type of trisuit you should choose:
Short Distances (XS, S, M): Sleeveless trisuits are ideal for sprints and short distances, offering freedom of movement.
Long Distances (L, XL, XXL): For long-distance triathlons, trisuits with sleeves are recommended. They enhance aerodynamics, provide better sun protection, and offer additional comfort during extended races.
Pay attention to practical details
Design details can greatly impact your race experience:
Fuel Storage Pockets: For long distances, pockets are essential for carrying gels and energy bars. Check their accessibility and capacity.
Zip Frontal : un zip frontal facilite la ventilation pendant la course à pied. Il permet aussi d'enfiler et de retirer la trifonction plus facilement. Notez que les règles de la Fédération Française de Triathlon exigent de fermer la trifonction pour franchir la ligne d'arrivée.
Peau de Chamois : intégrée dans le cuissard de la trifonction, la chamoisine peut être plus ou moins épaisse selon la distance ( trifonction courte distance ou trifonction longue distance) Une peau de chamois triathlon doit être assez renforcée pour votre confort lors de l’épreuve de cyclisme, mais assez fine pour ne pas gêner pendant la course à pied.
Comfort and aerodynamics
These are crucial for maximizing performance:
Tailored Fit: The trisuit should fit snugly to minimize friction and enhance aerodynamics.
Sleeves or Sleeveless: Trisuits with sleeves offer improved aerodynamics and sun protection. They are ideal for long distances and sunny conditions.
