Sugoi Velocity II Tri Short and Top

The good folks at Outside PR offered to send me the newest model of the Sugoi Velocity Tri suit to highlight on my blog.    I said “Sure, I love Sugoi stuff” and asked them if they had a red suit to match my tri bike!

They sent me a Women’s size medium Velocity tri suit top and tank.   It has all the same great features as the original Velocity tri suit:

  • water repellent lightweight quick dry fabric
  • soft seams around the arm openings equals no chaffing
  • two perfect pockets in the back to hold  gels, etc.
  • reflective logos for safety
  • soft quick dry pad in the shorts for bike comfort.   Of all the tri suit brands I have used, Sugoi’s padding is the absolute best.    That pad got me through two half iron races last season with no pain issues.
  • built in sports bra in the two-piece version of the Velocity suit.
  • true to size
  • As compared to last year’s model, I think the fabric is a little bit stretchier feeling.   It still has that light weight shell feel about it, but with a little stretch.  I like that alot.

I asked my teenage daughter to do a photo shoot in the suit, well,  because she’s much prettier than me.  🙂 I love how the bright red color coordinates just perfectly with my bike. And red is the color of SPEED, right?    I plan to wear this suit in the Cary duathlon next month.  I will tell you more about it at that time, so stay tuned!    I wore the Sugoi one-piece Velocity tri suit at Triangle Tri last year, and it was super!   My Team Trakker suit is also Sugoi brand – I love that godzilla green color!

I asked my daughter how the built-in bra felt.  She said it was very comfortable.  She does jazz dancing and jogs, so she knows about sports bras.  Comfort is key during a race, so that you can focus on racing!!!   I asked her how the shorts felt.  She said good and asked why there was a pad in the butt.   Lol,  she is not a biker or a triathlete, so she didn’t get it.

BTW, my daughter chose to scrunch the waistline down a bit to show some midriff.  I would never do that because I don’t have a nice one to show off!  I tried it on also, and it does cover the midriff just fine.   I am wearing it right now as I type.  Now I am excited about racing again.

  • Thanks, Carol, for the info you sent my way. I hadn't even considered some of the points you made. I think a tri suit might be worth spending some cash, as I think I may do more races in the future. Im rather tall/long torso, so im thinking the two piece makes sense in those ways as well. THANK YOU so much for your help, and time to reply :)

  • HI! I am thinking of doing a triathalon sprint, and am totally confused as to what suit you need for what (seems like the wise thing is to buy one suit? and do all 3 things in it?). As you can tell, I am COMPLETELY new to this.

  • Ginger...The Velocity is true to size. My Trakkers suit made by Sugoi was a medium and it was a tad too tight, so a large would have been better in that style.

  • Totally sharp, love it! I have the 09 top and bottom too & I LOVE it! The red is really attractive - your daughter is a natural!

  • So is this the new outfit I have to keep an eye out for when I am running / biking? I am always looking for the green......hope you got out this weekend. I rode on Friday and Sunday and it felt great. My battery had died in my odometer and it turned out to be a blessing. Just got out and rode without looking at any data other than time - hour and a half Friday and two hours Sunday. Will definitely hook up with you again soon - will be sure to email you when I am riding on the weekends...

  • I love that outfit- a lot of tri outfits are so ugly haha. Looks really comfy too, I might have to keep an eye out for that. Your daughter is gorgeous by the way!

  • Haha. I love how you are hocking your daughter to model stuff on your blog. Too funny.

    Tell her that she is on her way to becoming an internet celeb.
