Question 4

What triathlon gear do I need for my first triathlon?

Accepted Answer

Essential triathlon gear for beginners includes a tri suit from 2XU or Zone3 that works across all three disciplines (eliminates clothing changes in transitions), wetsuit from Zone3 if water temperature requires (check race rules), running shoes suitable for brick workouts, cycling shoes compatible with your bike pedals, and basic nutrition and hydration for race day. Optional but recommended triathlon gear includes compression calf sleeves from 2XU for run leg support, transition bag for organizing gear, race belt for holding race number, and elastic laces for quick shoe transitions. Start with quality tri suit and wetsuit as foundational triathlon gear, then add compression and accessories as you progress. 2XU and Zone3 offer complete triathlon gear packages for beginners.

You can inspect the packaging when your triathlon gear arrives and pay the delivery person in cash. We also accept online payments via credit card, debit card, UPI, and net banking. For high-value triathlon gear from premium brands like 2XU and Zone3 including wetsuits and compression products, COD ensures you can verify packaging integrity and authenticity upon delivery before payment.

Question 6

What's the difference between sprint and Ironman triathlon gear?

Accepted Answer

Sprint triathlon gear from 2XU and Zone3 prioritizes speed and aerodynamics with minimal chamois padding for short 20km bike leg, lightweight fabrics that dry instantly, sleeveless designs for maximum swim freedom, and race-fit cuts for aerodynamic advantage. Ironman triathlon gear focuses on all-day comfort with thicker chamois padding for 180km bike leg, superior moisture management for 8+ hour efforts, compression features from 2XU for late-race muscle support, and durable construction for extreme-distance racing. Sprint triathlon gear sacrifices some comfort for speed. Ironman triathlon gear prioritizes comfort and durability for ultra-endurance events. Many triathletes own both types of triathlon gear for different race distances.

Question 7

Do I need a wetsuit for triathlon?

Accepted Answer

Wetsuit requirements in triathlon gear depend on water temperature and race rules. Most triathlons require wetsuits when water is below 20°C, allow optional wetsuit use between 20-24°C, and prohibit wetsuits above 24°C. Zone3 wetsuits provide buoyancy that improves swim position and speed (typically 5-10% faster swim times), thermal protection in cold water, and confidence for open water swimming. Even if not required, many triathletes choose wetsuit triathlon gear for performance advantages. Zone3 offers entry-level to advanced wetsuits in our triathlon gear collection. Check your specific race rules and water temperatures when deciding on wetsuit triathlon gear. For pool-based triathlons, wetsuits are not needed in your triathlon gear kit.

Question 8

How does compression gear help in triathlon?

Accepted Answer

Compression gear from 2XU helps triathlon performance by improving blood circulation across all three disciplines, reducing muscle fatigue during the bike and run legs, speeding recovery between training sessions and after races, and providing muscle support during extended efforts. Many triathletes wear 2XU compression calf guards during the run leg for support and fatigue reduction, or compression tights for cold weather racing. Post-race, compression gear from 2XU accelerates recovery by reducing inflammation, speeding removal of metabolic waste, and decreasing muscle soreness. 2XU's graduated compression technology is scientifically proven to enhance triathlon performance and recovery. Compression triathlon gear is particularly valuable for half Ironman and Ironman distances where muscle support and recovery are critical for race-day success.
