FAQs

Can I wear this for the swim leg?

Yes, the suit is specifically engineered with hydrophobic materials to perform effectively in the water.

How do I choose the right size?

Refer to the manufacturer's size guide using your UK dress size and body measurements, keeping in mind that the fit should be compressive.

Does the chamois pad get bulky when running?

No, the Tri 400 features a low-profile, triathlon-specific chamois designed to remain discreet and comfortable during the run.

How long should the suit last?

With proper care—specifically avoiding tumble dryers and harsh detergents—the compression fibers and material will maintain their performance for several seasons of regular racing.

Is this suitable for beginners?

Absolutely, the suit provides excellent support and performance benefits for triathletes at any experience level.

Troubleshooting

Suit feels too tight upon initial wear

Compression gear is designed to be snug; ensure the garment is pulled up evenly across the thighs and torso before zipping.

Chafing during the run

Ensure the suit is properly positioned and consider using an anti-chafing balm in high-friction areas if you are prone to skin sensitivity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Skins Tri 400 maintains its structural integrity and compression properties, follow these care guidelines:

  • Washing: Hand wash or machine wash on a delicate cycle using a mild, non-abrasive detergent.
  • Drying: Air dry away from direct sunlight; do not tumble dry as high heat can damage the elastic fibers and the chamois.
  • Storage: Store flat or hung in a cool, dry place to prevent stretching.
  • Sizing: Use a soft measuring tape to confirm your current UK dress size. Because the suit is designed to be compressive, choosing the size that aligns with your measurements is critical for comfort.
