Orca Perform Triathlon Suit with Swim Back - One Piece (For Women)

This is a great Tri suit. I am normally an 8-10 and the 6 fits perfect! You don't want it to be lose anywhere. It even seems to have enough support in the bra which is rare for me since I have a C cup. I like that it is all black since the open water swims are always in murky waters. There is very little padding in the rear, but wouldn't want a lot for the triathlon day.

I'm a size 10. 5'5" about 130lbs and the size 12 fits perfectly. It will be great for my first Tri.

Diving into a first tri - needed a tri-suit. The euro 12 fit me well - size 10. Legs not tight, fairly comfortable on the dry fit. Will have to try it in the water - but seems to be a good deal.

I have yet to use this in a shorter triathlon, but that is the intent. There is almost no padding, which would not be a major issue in shorter triathlons, but you might want a bit more padding for a longer triathlon. So this would be great for non-wetsuit swims and subsequent biking in half-Olympic distance road triathlons, or most distances of warm-weather off-road triathons I would imagine. Anything longer than that, I would prefer either more padding, or an additional seat pad, or both. This should speed up transition some, I would imagine, which is probably also more important in shorter triathlons. As for sizing, I had some worries about fit since only the size 4 remained when I ordered. I normally wear size 34 swim suit size and could even wear a 36 at this time. For regular clothing, I currently wear closest to a size 6. In any case, the size 4 fits me at least as well as a size 34 swim suit, which means a bit on the snug side, although I have to admit that my plan is to lose a bit of weight prior to my next triathlon, at least enough to be a more solid size 34 or 4.

Raced today for the first time in this suit, and it was perfect. Fast in the water, comfortable on the ride, and light weight to run in. If the bike were longer, I would've wanted more padding, and the lack of pockets made nutrition difficult during the race, but I found ways to improvise. An orca rep was actually at the race, and was curious to hear where I had bought my suit, because he was selling the exact same one that day for 250, so snatch them up while they are at this GREAT price.
