The Draw: Affordable Suit for Beginners 

This elegantly understated suit is for novice triathletes looking to make their first cold-water event fun without busting budgets. It covered all the necessities in keeping our testers warm and buoyant and has a nice amount of flex throughout the torso. Give yourself a few extra seconds in transition to peel it off, and athletes with narrower wrists take note: Some testers experienced a bit of water leakage in that area. This suit runs small, so if you’re on the cusp, size up.

$250
