Women's trisuits
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
Transitions between swimming, cycling, and running are crucial for achieving the best time. The trisuit is specially designed for these critical moments, allowing you to move quickly from one discipline to the next without wasting time. The trisuit enables you to swim, bike, and run without changing outfits, thus minimizing time lost during transitions. Our trisuits can be worn under a wetsuit or on their own when the water is warm enough. By choosing Kiwami Sports, you are opting for high-quality gear designed to enhance your performance and comfort throughout the triathlon.

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.
Front Zipper: A front zipper facilitates ventilation during the run and makes it easier to put on and remove the trisuit. Note that according to the rules of the French Triathlon Federation, the trisuit must be zipped up when crossing the finish line.
Chamois Padding: Integrated into the trisuit's shorts, chamois padding can vary in thickness depending on the distance (short-distance trisuit or long-distance trisuit). Triathlon chamois padding should be robust enough for cycling comfort yet thin enough not to hinder during the run.
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.
