The short has a nice overall fit. The core tri short has a thicker chamois which was nice on the bike, but it is also wider than normal which makes it quite irritating on the run.

I've been using Fluid for about 2 years now. Has really changed the way I recover. Its a noticeable difference when I have it and when I don't. Main thing is feeling less achy & sore after tough workouts. Recommended it to my marathon training group this year for Eugene, everyone loved it! Mixes well for recovery stuff, little clumping at first but it all disappears after a min. Not too sweet, heavy, or chalky like other protein/carb stuff I've tried. My favorite recovery drink by far!

I've been swimming competitively since high school, and even back then I could never keep track of how many laps I swam past about 200 yards in the pool. I don't think I'm particularly stupid but I'm really incompetent when it comes to counting laps. And now that I do sets where I swim 500 yards at a time, I cause myself a lot of trouble without my Poolmate. This is not a fancy watch by any means, but it does the job of counting laps nearly perfectly for me. One button to start, same button to pause/rest, hold the same button to stop. It's also got an Swimming Efficiency Index that tells me how strongly I am swimming (strokes per lap = lower is better), and my goal is to get to PRO. :) If you are a flip-turner, there is absolutely no thinking involved, it just counts every flip turn. If you are NOT a flip turner, you can still use this watch -- just make sure you are touching the wall with the hand that has the watch on it (my left hand). If your touch turns are not using the hand with the watch on it, the watch may not sense that you have ended your stroke at the wall. I have the black one and am so happy with this watch. Finally I can go back to day dreaming while I swim my laps in the pool. Thank you Swimovate and OneTri!

bought the aero hamock first and did not like it. Aero pocket works great

I am new to the tri world and just purchased these bike shoes. I was drawn to them for several reasons. First, Louis Garneau products just seem to be very good quality. Second, most bike shoes seem to be black, which in Florida where I live, makes it even more hot on your feet as you are riding. I was looking for white or silver and these were perfect as they also match my bike and the rest of my gear. Next, the two velcro, reverse latching straps are so much easier to handle compared to many bike shoes that have two velcro straps along with a latching buckle strap which is a pain in my opinion. Finally, the price point on these was quite affordable for an entry level tri-shoe. I was very excited to see that they matched exactly with what I saw online when I opened the box upon their arrival. None of my local shops carry Garneau and I was kind of nervous to order them, but they are what I was looking for. They fit and feel wonderful. I tried on some Bontrager's, Lake's, and Shimano's at local shops and these blow them away. If you can not afford an overpriced pair of $200+ cycling shoes or just do not want to get ripped off, you can not go wrong with these. They are fantastic and I have had many compliments already on them.

This item is completely misrepresented in your catalog. No where does it state that the arm bridge is NOT included. I ordered this item twice, the first time I thought I ordered the wrong item. But the second time having received the same kit twice and no arm bridge...I was quite upset over this. I opened it and to find a piece of paper indicating that the arm bridge is Not included.

When I bought the shoe i had 5 days to break them in. These shoes were perfect for my feet in giving me comfort and support during my runs and my transition time was alot faster than previous races. I recommend this shoe for not only triathletes but for people who enjoy running as well.

It’s been over 4½ months since I ordered and paid for (in full by the way) a pair of Bont A1 cycling shoes and I have yet to receive them. There have been numerous emails, phone conversations, heated debates, sizing complications, color misinterpretations, added shipping charges, and don’t let me forget about the entire month of February were everyone apparently stops working in order to celebrate the “Chinese New Year!” These are just some of the obstacles and excuses thrown my way by Bont Cycling; for example, for the past 2 weeks I have been told by Bont that my shoes are in the air and on their way, but stuck at customs. I know this is a new company and international expansion is a good thing, but if you can only make 30 shoes a day, then don’t take other people’s money for orders you can’t possibly fill. The bottom line is that Bont shoes are now made in a factory in China, even though at their debut at Innerbike in Las Vegas last year all you heard about was their Custom Cycling shoes that were handmade in Australia. After being promised by Bont that my shoes would arrive in less than three weeks time, I finally got a package after 2½ months. They were gorgeous, except for being the incorrect size, the wrong color, and they had a buckle (I wanted the three strap version-No Buckles)! Bont told me that they would NOT REORDER my initial specs until they physically received and processed their mistake, which cost me 2 more weeks of waiting. I was back to square one. I did at least slip them on just to get any idea of their fit and stiffness, buckled ‘em up, took one step on my carpeted floor and the heel support broke clean-off! And I only weigh 140 lbs! Oh yea, I had to pay for the return shipping never to be reimbursed. After “reconfirming” my initial order over the phone, I was then told that the three-strap option and color choice I selected 2½ months earlier would now bump my order from Stock to Semi-Custom status and an additional $80 would be required before they would proceed. Oh yea, and additional shipping charges were added on again. After feeling totally vulnerable and like things could not get any worse after being promised once again I would have my Custom shoes (or should I say “Semi-Custom shoes) on my feet in less than 4 weeks time, I paid the added fee and waited. . . I waited. . . And, I waited. . . That was over 2 months ago, it is now late spring, and the race season has begun. I’m thinking about taking up fishing instead of cycling. Anyone who wants to purchase Bont Cycling shoes be very cautious, they do require that you pay-in-full and upfront and they will NOT RETURN, REFUND, OR CANCEL any Semi-Custom or Custom orders. I have asked, begged, demanded, and even threatened Bont in hopes of a refund, but was told “No, its a Custom-order!” Right now, I would only recommend buying the stock versions from a local shop that you can physically try on and walk out the door with them on your feet. I hope in the next year or so Bont can modify their return policies and any guarantees, service issues, expectations and fix all the international miscommunication between Bont itself, its distributors, and its retail shops which is crippling their name and their product, but until then please be cautious!

This simple little massager has become an essential part of all my training plans! I've been training for a half marathon, with my long runs occurring on the weekends. My pre-run routines involve massaging with the stick the day before the run and in the hour before I take off to loosen the muscles up. My post-run routine involves, icing my joints for 20 minutes while massaging my quads, hams, and calves with this amazing tool. By the evening, I'm able to walk around with little or no pain. The next day I'm almost good as new (muscles are just a bit tired). I've been running for years and I have to say that my recovery has never been faster since using the stick. The travel size is so handy. I'll be taking it with me to Hawaii to use after runs and hikes. Good buy for sure!

Ordered the large/tall, but it was way too tight. I am 6'4" and 200-205 pounds. The legs were fine but the chest and neck were both extremely tight. It was also hard to raise my arms. I imagine the XL would have been OK, but I exchnaged it for the DeSoto Black Pearl in a 6 bottom and 5 top...the fit is great and suit performs!
