Let's be honest ladies, for a long time, women's triathlon suits were just men's suits in smaller sizes with a different colour. But things have changed! And here's the proof:
We've curated 5 of the Best Brands, and my personal favourite piece in each.
1. Samsara Cycle
Vancouver-based and designed, and quickly becoming a wellknown name in the PNW. What I love? They're fun.
- Favourite Part: The chamois is designed specifically for female anatomy. This is rare - and awesome!
- Price range: Around $240 to $254
- One thing to know: Sizing runs close, so check the size guide carefully and when in doubt, go up.
And yes, they ship internationally!
2. Betty Designs
Motto: "Do Epic Sh*t." So clearly, a favourite for me. Betty Designs makes kits for the woman who wants to be noticed on the race course — bold colours, audacious prints, and quality to back it up.
- Favourite Part: The RaceFlow fabric is genuinely quick-drying and the UPF 50+ coverage is built in without compromising breathability.
- Price range: Around $160 to $250 .
3. Coeur Sports
Coeur (French for "heart") makes triathlon gear for women who are in this sport for the long term. Their community energy is palpable and their kits are built to last across multiple seasons.
- Favourite Thing: The attention to fit detail. Coeur works with a diverse range of body types, and it shows in the construction.
- Price range: $200(ish)
4. Tres Piñas
Focused on long-course comfort. Tres Piñas entered the trisuit market with bold designs and a chamois that has become a genuine talking point. Athletes who have struggled with chafing on long-course events consistently highlight the Tres Piñas fit as a solution.
- Favourite Thing: That chamois. Seriously. If long-course chamois comfort is your priority, this brand belongs at the top of your shortlist.
- One thing to know: The aero sleeves can be challenging to remove quickly in T1 if you are racing with a wetsuit. Factor this into your transition practice.
5. Ryzon
German engineering meets endurance performance. Ryzon produces OEKO-TEX certified suits manufactured in Europe. From 2025, all their triathlon suits are available in a dedicated women's version, yay! Clean design, premium materials, and genuine performance credentials.
- Favourite Thing: The Graphene Gridflow Technology in their top-tier suits is genuinely impressive for thermoregulation over long efforts.
- One thing to know: The aesthetic is more minimalist than Samsara or Betty. If you want subtle performance over statement style, Ryzon is your brand.
