Tri suits

[montage]

Are these pretty comfortable for cycling in?
Are they padded?

I have a chance to get some decent quality ones for pennies....so may pick a couple up.

Skin suit and tri suit the same?
They are fine for TTs, but i wouldnt wear one for anything else. Jersey and bib shorts are better for normal cycling i find.
When i go to the TT i have to put a jersey on over the top of my skin suit because the skin suit has no pockets.
Mine is padded.
Mine is a Pearl Izumi one aswell, the team one Very cheap, infact, free

Tri suits are not the same - they have no sleeves for starters.
The pads may be slightly different, with the tri pad having more padding at the front...really all TT skinsuits should be like this to help when sitting on the nose of the saddle. They're not though.

Well the idea of a tri suit is that you can swim run and cycle in one...but running with padding = very swetty bettys. Which is why I am unsure.

I am going to get one anyway - for triathlons....but I am wondering if it is worth getting any for my little brother who is getting into cycling - I guess I will just view the suits and see.

Don't forget - trisuits are unwelcome at time trials. Got to have some sleeves, so stick a lycra base layer (UnderArmour) underneath.

I went out sleeveless today as the weather was so nice, but it got me thinking - why do triathletes in this country go sleeveless? It was cold as hell during one part of my ride, more like the standard UK weather, so I conclude that slowtwitchers are nutcases. Can't be too hard to throw on something with a bit more arm protection in T1 surely?!?

I spent a lot of time deciding what tri-suit to use for my ironman and chose a all in one orca. You can get really cheap trisuits from the last season, worth keeping an eye in the bargin bin!

Moremile is a trademark of Start Fitness I believe. You can get the suits direct from them for £30.
