Hi!
Welcome to the sport!
Your best bet is going to a Triathlon Specific store and see if you can try on a trisuit (and a wetsuit while you are in the shop), as you may need both depending on the water temp on the day. Troisport in JHB (Chilli Lane Shopping Centre) have this facility and have enough expert advice on what to buy within your budget!
All the best!

Hi Chris,

Any recommendation for a Triathlon specific store in Cape Town - preferably Southern Suburbs?
Thanks, Amanda

Hi Amanda


I would suggest going to the TRIshop in Durbanroad (Bellville) that is located next to Nedbank. They also have a branch in Stellenbosch (just before Jonkershoek). I'd say these stores are your best bets as they have a few different brand options and price ranges.

Hope this helps?

Do you have to get a Tri-Suit? I'm a professional comedian so I can handle a few laughs and stares at my expense :lol: but I also don't want to stand out like a total tool. Does everyone wear tri-suits?

Hi Kev

No you don’t have to purchase a Tri-suit; while they are quite popular, wearing a Tri-suit is not a requirement to participate in the race.
