Due to peak tri season and our racing returning (hooray!), please allow 24 hours from the date of your order for this product to depart from our warehouse. Saturday and Sunday are excluded as we are closed weekends.

The Forza Trisuit has Sleeves and the Fli-fly™ for quick relief on the go! Upper body made of De Soto innovative Skin Cooler 90™ Fabric for 90 UVB sun protection. Five utility pockets to fit all your racing needs, and even more features!

Sizing: Please refer to the size chart button above for sizing guidance. 

Fit Type: Compressive
Fit Note:
  If you have a long torso, or if you are tall and lean, or
 are rather light for your height, and in search of a one-piece trisuit, this is the one for you. 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.

 Features & Benefits:

  • Short Sleeves for more cooling and sun protection
  • Fli-fly™ hidden fly just above the pad, in front for quick on-the-fly bathroom “relief.”
  • Comes standard with 4mm Clasico Integrated Pad
  • Upper body made of De Soto innovative Skin Cooler 90 Fabric for 90 UVB sun protection.
  • Lower body made of Forza Compressor fabric and includes our new 3-inch 2-piece Mobius™ Comfort Compression leg-bands that offer compression without tight constriction.
  • Solid black Liftfoil™ center panels provide durability and comfort. We intentionally kept these as black “modesty” panels in the crotch area of all models including the white version to avoid saddle stains while creating a flattering appearance.
  • 16-inch YKK® front zipper for on-the-go ventilation
  • This suit has 5 utility pockets to fit all your racing needs: one on each leg and three across the low back just below the waist.  The center back pocket is the largest.  See photos with red ovals showing location.
  • Curvilinear™ seamlines, and contrast flatstitch offer support, comfort and aerodynamic advantage
  • Swim, bike, and run in comfort without changing. Race with it under your wetsuit!
  • Disclaimer: swimming in murky water, including ponds, streams, bays, etc. may cause staining
  • This environmentally-friendly innovation is completely free of solvents and the dyes used have no VOC
  • Not recommended for repeated use in a chlorinated pool
  • Made in USA

GREAT NEWS: Sleeved Trisuits are now legal for use in Ironman and 70.3 races, and it remains legal in many other races not owned by WTC. This trisuit was designed for this very purpose, with hydrodynamics as a factor, not just aerodynamics. 

Pad Dimensions:

  • Thickness - 4mm Clasico;
  • Min Thickness: .05" (1.25mm)
  • Total Length: 11.25" (28.5cm)
  • Front Max Width: 4.5" (11.5cm)
  • Waist Width - most narrow point: 3.5" (8.5cm)
  • Back Max Width: 6.5" (16.5cm)

 Inseam lengths:

  • Small: 9.5" (24.13cm)
  • Medium: 10" (25.40cm)
  • Large: 10.5" (26.67cm)
  • XLarge: 11" (27.94cm)

Inseam Note  - Shorter Leg Length than other brands: Have you seen the length of the shorts that riders have been wearing in Europe lately, especially in the Grand Tours? As opposed to most brands here in the states, which come just above the knees, our shorts are comfortably shorter. Our inseam is similar to those currently used by the pros in the Grand Tours. They have no gripper elastic, yet stay in place and do not bind or squeeze the legs, which is crucial once you get to the run segment of a triathlon.

    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.

    Super smooth suit

    Super comfortable suit. Padding is just the right thickness. I love their attention to detail on fitting. The pockets and fly are a bonus!

    Great tri suit

    Fit is perfect. Very comfortable for my races. Quality is excellent. I swear I can feel how much faster this suit is than my previous race outfit.

    Fantastic Suit

    DeSoto provides excellent customer service, this tri suit is American made, has a fly for the occasional "break"...and is comfortable as all ****. Love this tri suit. I have buyers remorse for just about everything triathlon related...but, not for the Forza. I'm a fan.
