The size chart above should serve as a general guide. If you would like assistance in determining the proper size, please send the following information to contact@desotosport.com.
Our Skin Cooler Half Zip Tri Top was created for those who prefer a sleeveless top but still want the cooling benefits of our Skin Cooler 90. A half zip makes adjusting ventilation on-the-go a breeze, and 2 side pockets provide ample storage space.
Sizing: Please refer to the size chart button above for sizing guidance.
Fit Type: Form fitting
Fit Note: Please do not assume your size, please use our size chart. If in doubt, email questions to contact@desotosport.com. Triathlon apparel is meant to fit next-to-skin. This is to eliminate potential chafing, and unnecessary drag during the swim, bike and run. If you’re not comfortable with this type of fit and or are between sizes, we recommend sizing up. Garment will fit the most snug the first time you put it on, it will relax slightly once wet.
Read this nice TIP FROM EMILIO: STEP THIS WAY! (AN EASY WAY TO PUT ON & REMOVE A TRI TOP)
What makes ours different? Our Skin Cooler fiber is designed to feel and perform like silk (from a silkworm). Through Biomimicry, we took the virtues of this natural fiber and created a synthetic silk. It will keep you cool in hot weather and cooler when it is wet. Put it on and you will instantly feel the cool sensation. Wet it and you will notice a drop in the surface temperature of the skin between 7 and 10 degrees.
A MEDICAL TESTIM0NIAL: We received this letter from a respected Dermatologist and Mohs Surgeon:
I am an avid runner and triathlete and I recently discovered your Skin Cooler products, of which I'm a huge fan. I have been wearing them for a few months now and couldn't be happier. I am a dermatologist and Mohs surgeon. Every patient I see is plagued by basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, or melanoma. I recommend your products to my active patients on a daily basis. It allows them to continue their active lifestyle while protecting themselves from the sun. I find your product to be far superior to all other cooling and sun protective lines. I truly appreciate your efforts and innovations.
Note: No garment should ever be a substitute so we always recommend you wear sunscreen underneath these, and all, products. It is crucial to keep in mind that a sunscreen's (whichever brand you may choose) SPF/UPF rating refers only to its ability to protect skin from UVB radiation. Because we know that UVA damage can be just as insidious, it is essential for the health of your skin that you use a sunscreen that contains the UVA-protecting ingredients of titanium dioxide or zinc oxide.

I loved the half zip top! Fit good and looks great.
This is now a staple in my Summer running wardrobe. Just sprinkle water on yourself at the start of a run and it keeps you significantly cooler. Then wet it occasionally. It's so good that I bought another, both red. I plan on running my next marathon in it.
I loved racing 70.3 in this tri top. It really helped me not overheat on the run in Lubbock. The only down side is that it is hard to clean after a lake / river swim. But I will happily trade that for the good temperature control. 5'9"; 180. Large fits very well.
The top fits great and feels great while running and biking.
Second one to own. Great in summer and use as a base layer in winter, since I cannot find any base layers. Black one will be ordered next.
Works great just like the long sleeve tops I have. Waiting for another sale to the red and white one.
Outstanding product! Quality and comfort that you can’t replicate. I have two of these and I enjoy using whenever possible. This is truly a product you need to try for training and racing.
I will buy more of these TRI Tops. Extremely comfortable, excellent cooling system and good price
This tri top is the most comfortable I have ever worn and on top of that provided some cooling in the hot, humid Georgia weather. It motivates me to shop for similar bottoms
Great product. Fit is superb, long enough so it doesn't ride up. Skin cooler fabric works well. As with all Desoto products, it is a superior tri top.
I ordered this top and shorts and so far I love them.. I have done about 7 rides with them on and the padding keeps me comfortable .. longest ride 50 miles but this gear is recommended for Ironman distance .. I also ordered the Roka top and shorts to compare and this suit was better for me. The roka shorts were OK but seemed better suited for shorter distance triathlons.
I've run in all sorts of tech-material Ts and tanks, and to date, this is the most breathable and lightweight. Good body movement, and though form fitting, doesn't feel restrictive. The pockets are useful for small items (gu, gels, Garmin, etc), but I wouldn't put something like a phone in there (would cause too much shifting). Given I'm from a cycling background, I'd probably prefer the pockets to reside on the back rather than the sides (I think it's easier to reach while running/biking). Only thing I think I don't like is the size/weight of the zipper pull. The fact that it's metal does speak a bit to quality, but when not fully zipped (as on my 100+ run the other day) I feel like it bobs around a lot. Other than that, this is a great addition to my hot weather arsenal.
I needed a cool tri top for Ironmam Chatt. With temperatures reaching 88 degrees on road temps were in the low 90's. The Skin cooler provides a cool option with style! I recommend this product for high humidity high temp races.
