Looking for a Tri-Suit

The quest is on to find a Tri-suit. For the initiated, this is a garment (one- or two-piece) that is worn for a triathlon. It’s designed to work for swimming, biking, and running. This is as opposed to a wet-suit, which you only wear for swimming, and have your biking/running stuff on underneath.

So far my searching has been frustrating. I’m not finding any good, one-stop place to compare suits side-by-side. I have some recommendations to work from my friends at Central Penn Racing, but there’s no place locally to buy, so the rest is online. So there’s been all kinds of search through various sites. But if I’m going to pay ~$100, I’m going to get what I want.

So here’s what I have so far:

Sports Basement has some side-by-side for me. It has the Sugoi for $105. I have a Sugoi singlet that I really like, so this is a possibility. It also has the Orca Elite and Orca Distance, which were recommended to me, for $120 and $80, respectively.

Amazon has a Louis Garneau suit, also recommended, for $99.
