Choose your Surpas tri suit based on your race distance and the level of performance, aerodynamics, comfort and durability you're looking for.
Our Insane Series is our most advanced race range. Developed with world-leading triathletes and sports scientists, it combines ultra-light fabrics with advanced aerodynamics, thermoregulation and hydrodynamic performance. Selected Middle and Long Distance models also feature our aerodynamic Turbulators.
Our Aero Series is built around aerodynamic performance, combining structured aerodynamic fabrics with hydrodynamic materials, mobility and comfort. The current Aero 4 is available for Middle and Long Distance racing.
Our Pursue Series combines performance with comfort and durability. Developed and tested with the Norwegian Triathlon Federation, it uses premium Italian fabrics, a tight-to-body fit and hydrophobic properties, making it a versatile choice for both experienced and aspiring triathletes.
Once you've chosen your series, select the suit designed for your race distance.
The letters tell you which race distance and configuration the suit is designed for:
SD – Sprint Distance
OD – Olympic Distance
MD – Middle Distance
LD – Long Distance
MDT – Middle Distance + Turbulators
LDT – Long Distance + Turbulators
Our MDT and LDT Insane suits add strategically positioned aerodynamic Turbulators to their Middle and Long Distance constructions.
For Sprint Distance racing, choose one of our SD skinsuits.
Our Sprint Distance suits are designed specifically for short, fast racing. For example, the Pursue Skinsuit SD combines durable Italian performance fabrics with an extremely close fit and a lightweight, triathlon-specific Elastic Interface chamois.
Because nutrition storage is less important over this distance, the Pursue SD has no rear pockets, helping keep the construction streamlined.
For Olympic Distance racing, choose one of our OD skinsuits.
If maximum performance is your priority, our Insane Skinsuit OD was originally developed for the Tokyo Olympic Games. It combines an extremely close fit with ultra-light performance fabrics and thin, flexible triathlon-specific padding designed to dry quickly after the swim.
Our Olympic Distance suits are designed to provide the mobility required for swimming and running while maintaining a close performance fit for the bike.
For Middle Distance and 70.3 racing, choose an MD or MDT speedsuit.
Our Pursue 2 MD provides a durable, performance-focused option for Middle Distance racing.
Our Aero 4 MD takes aerodynamic performance further, using a golf-ball-like structure across the shoulders and striped fabric on the thighs to optimise airflow on the bike. It also uses an extremely flexible two-density Elastic Interface chamois designed to provide protection in an aerodynamic cycling position without unnecessarily restricting the swim or run.
For our most advanced aerodynamic and thermoregulatory technology, choose the Insane 3 MDT. It combines ultra-light fabrics, aerodynamic structures and strategically positioned Turbulators with Middle Distance-specific padding, nutrition storage and a GPS pocket.
For full-distance racing, choose an LD or LDT speedsuit.
Our Pursue 2 LD combines durable Italian fabrics with two rear nutrition pockets and long-distance Elastic Interface padding.
Our Aero 4 LD places a greater emphasis on aerodynamics, using structured shoulder and thigh fabrics together with an extremely close fit.
For our most advanced Long Distance race suit, choose the Insane 3 LDT. It combines our ultra-light Insane construction with aerodynamic Turbulators and a Long Distance-specific Elastic Interface chamois designed to provide support in aggressive aero positions. Perforated foams improve airflow and drying, while a central channel is designed to improve comfort over long rides.
In our triathlon range, skinsuits are designed for Sprint and Olympic Distance racing, while speedsuits are designed for Middle and Long Distance racing.
The construction changes with the demands of the distance. Our MD and LD speedsuits include distance-specific padding and nutrition storage, while our shorter-distance skinsuits use lighter padding and streamlined constructions appropriate for shorter races.
Choose your suit according to your race distance rather than treating skinsuit and speedsuit as interchangeable terms.
Our Turbulators are strategically positioned aerodynamic structures used on selected Insane Middle and Long Distance suits.
You'll find them around the shoulder area on our Insane MDT and LDT suits, where they work together with structured aerodynamic fabrics as part of the suit's overall aerodynamic construction.
They are one of the technologies that distinguish our MDT and LDT suits from the standard MD and LD configurations.
If you're looking for our most advanced aerodynamic race setup, choose an Insane MDT or LDT with Turbulators.
Our Insane MDT and LDT suits combine the Turbulators with structured aerodynamic fabrics, an extremely close fit and ultra-light materials to maximise race performance.
Your aerodynamic performance will also depend on factors such as your riding position, body shape, speed and race conditions, so the suit should be considered as part of your complete aerodynamic setup.
Our triathlon race suits are designed to fit extremely close to the body.
A close fit helps minimise excess fabric and allows the aerodynamic materials to work as intended. For example, our Insane, Aero and Pursue race suits are designed to sit as close to the body as possible while maintaining the mobility needed for swimming, cycling and running.
We recommend assessing the suit in your actual race positions, particularly your aero position on the bike, rather than judging the fit only while standing upright.
Always start with the size guide and sizing information for the specific suit you're choosing.
Our race suits are intentionally very tight, but the exact construction differs between Insane, Aero and Pursue and between race distances. Don't automatically assume that the same sizing decision applies to every suit.
If you're unsure, contact us before ordering and we'll help you choose the right size.
Yes. Our race suits are designed to feel significantly tighter than conventional sportswear.
Insane, Aero and Pursue suits use an extremely close fit to reduce excess material and support aerodynamic performance. Some suits may therefore feel unusually tight when you first put them on.
The important distinction is between a close race fit and a suit that is too small. You should still have the mobility required to swim, hold your cycling position and run effectively.
Yes. If you're unsure which size to choose, contact us before ordering and we'll help you find the right fit.
This is particularly important for our race suits because they are intentionally designed to fit much closer to the body than conventional sportswear.
Yes. Our triathlon suits are designed to perform across the swim, bike and run.
The construction varies by series and race distance, but features such as hydrophobic fabrics, flexible chamois pads and quick-drying materials are used to help the suit transition effectively from swimming to cycling and running.
Always check the rules for your specific event regarding race clothing, wetsuits and swimskins.
Yes. You can wear your Surpas tri suit under your wetsuit and remove the wetsuit in transition before continuing onto the bike.
Our tri suits are designed to transition between swimming, cycling and running, so you don't need to change race clothing between disciplines.
Always make sure your tri suit and wetsuit fit comfortably together and follow your race organiser's wetsuit regulations.
No. We recommend wearing your tri suit directly against your skin without underwear.
Our suits use triathlon-specific chamois pads designed to provide protection on the bike while remaining flexible enough for swimming and running. Adding underwear creates another layer and additional seams, which can increase friction and retain moisture.
Our tri suits use triathlon-specific Elastic Interface chamois pads, with the construction adapted to the race distance.
For example, our Middle Distance Insane 3 MDT and Aero 4 MD suits use an extremely flexible two-density chamois. A higher-density insert is positioned to provide protection when riding in an aerodynamic position, while the flexible construction maintains freedom of movement for swimming and running.
Our Long Distance Insane 3 LDT, Aero 4 LD and Pursue 2 LD suits use long-distance padding designed to provide greater support during extended periods on the bike, including aggressive aero positions.
Our shorter-distance skinsuits use lighter triathlon-specific padding suited to Sprint and Olympic racing.
Check the individual suit specifications for the exact chamois construction.
Yes, but we recommend considering the construction of the suit and how frequently you plan to use it.
Our Pursue Series uses durable premium Italian fabrics and is a good option when you're looking for a balance between performance, comfort and durability.
Our Insane Series takes a different approach. It uses extremely lightweight, delicate materials designed around maximum race performance. We recommend treating your Insane suit as a specialist race product rather than everyday training apparel.
Using your race suit during selected race-specific sessions before competition can also help you become familiar with its fit and feel.
The Insane is our most advanced triathlon race suit, developed with world-leading triathletes and sports scientists.
Its construction focuses on three key areas: aerodynamics, thermoregulation and low weight. The suit uses an extremely lightweight woven elastane-polyester fabric with graded thickness and compressive structures, while our MDT and LDT models add structured aerodynamic fabrics and strategically positioned Turbulators around the shoulders.
The Insane is designed to sit extremely close to the body while maintaining the flexibility required for triathlon.
The Insane is designed primarily for racing and maximum performance.
Its ultra-light fabrics and extremely fine fibres allow us to prioritise aerodynamics, thermoregulation and low weight, but they also make the suit more delicate than conventional training apparel.
We recommend saving your Insane suit for racing and selected race-specific sessions rather than using it as an everyday training suit.
The same materials that allow us to make the Insane extremely light and performance-focused also require more careful handling.
The suit uses extremely fine yarns that can snag on Velcro, zippers, saddles and other rough surfaces. Its highly saturated colours can also migrate where colours meet if the suit remains damp or is washed incorrectly.
Following our Insane care instructions is essential for protecting the suit.
Always use the supplied gloves when putting on or removing your Insane Suit.
Work the suit on gradually rather than pulling aggressively on the fabric, and take particular care around your fingernails, the zipper and other areas where the fine fibres could catch.
The Insane is built from exceptionally delicate performance materials, so careful handling is important every time you use it.
We supply gloves because the Insane uses extremely fine yarns that can be caught or damaged by fingernails.
Wearing the gloves when putting on and removing your suit reduces the risk of pulling or snagging the delicate fibres.
Always use the supplied gloves when putting on or removing your Insane Suit and keep the fabric away from Velcro, zippers, rough saddles and abrasive surfaces.
Avoid pulling aggressively on individual sections of fabric. Taking a little extra time when putting on, removing and handling your suit will help protect its ultra-fine fibres.
Hand-wash your Insane Suit gently in cool water using a mild detergent.
Do not use bleach or fabric softener, and do not wring or twist the suit. Always follow the care label carefully to protect its ultra-light technical fabrics and colours.
No. Your Insane Suit should be cool, gently hand-washed only.
Machine washing can put unnecessary stress on the suit's extremely fine fibres and technical construction.
No. Do not tumble-dry your Insane Suit.
After washing, lay it flat to dry away from direct sunlight.
After washing, lay your Insane Suit flat and allow it to dry away from direct sunlight.
Do not wring or twist the suit to remove water, and make sure it is completely dry before storing it.
The Insane uses high-intensity, saturated dyes as part of its ultra-light construction.
If the suit remains damp or is washed incorrectly, colour can migrate or bleed where different colours meet. Follow our washing instructions carefully and make sure the suit is properly dried after use and washing.
Keep your Insane Suit away from rough or abrasive surfaces, particularly Velcro, zippers and rough saddles.
The extremely fine fibres used in the Insane are more delicate than conventional sportswear fabrics and can snag when they come into contact with rough equipment or surfaces.
