TENOLA INSPIRE

£72 Tenola is one of the few multisport brands that design and manufacture their kit in the UK, and the Inspire men’s tri-suit is very reasonably priced compared to the competition. Italian fabrics are used throughout and, while the suit lacks a bit of form fitting, it provides good coverage, some UV protection and decent breathability. The nondescript fit also extends to the legs, as we didn’t find they were very compressive and tended to sag while riding or running when the suit was wet. The grippers use a thin strip of silicon - not our preference – unlike newer suits that favour flat seams. The zipper has a full-length guard and a flap at the top so your neck won’t chafe, and our size medium felt roomier than more pricey suits we’ve tested (which may appeal to some beginners). tenola.com
