The Felt IA FRD of Tim Reed

Aussie Tim Reed won Ironman 70.3 Buffalo Springs Lake with a great performance and here is our look at the Shimano equipped Felt IA FRD of this budgie smuggler.

T1 by De Soto

The entire wetsuit world sits on one side. De Soto sits on the other side. Can De Soto be right? Here's our analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of 2-piece wetsuits.

Aquaman

An old school company that's lived with glue & blindstitch construction over a 40-year history of making just these kinds of suits. Aquaman was around at the beginning of tri wetsuits; it's still here today.

Zone3 Wetsuits

This is a wetsuit brand founded by British racer James Lock. This brand may be the most successful yet of UK-based wetsuit makers, does this brand deserve a larger place in the U.S. market?

ROKA Maverick

No triathlon wetsuit company has stormed onto the scene in recent memory with a bigger bang than Roka. It's ROKA's second year, we've had a year to noodle them, is the fanfare justified?

What Are They Riding Now?

Trek is stepping up big with a Trek Factory Racing team, plus they also take over the bike sponsorship of Team Timex. Scott Sports, Felt and BMC added a few more high profile athletes and much more in terms of bike sponsorships.
