The size chart above should serve as a general guide. If you would like assistance in determining the proper size, please send the following information to contact@desotosport.com.

WEIGHT - Accuracy helps us provide a more accurate size for you.
CHEST - Fullest part of breast, measured as the largest part of circumference right over the pectoral muscle.
WAIST -  Circumference measured at the belly-button line - this is NOT the same as your pants waist size.
HIPS - Circumference measured at the widest point, NOT at your hips where your belt may go. Typically this will measure just a few inches below your hip bones and around the largest part of the glutes.


 

If you do not have a tape measure and you need something to measure with, use a belt, or smart phone power cord, and a ruler.

The world's first trisuit and skin suit with a fly!  Finally, you can have bathroom relief without unzipping or undressing.

The comfort, performance and functionality you've come to love in our Riviera Tri Shorts and Tri Bib, is now available in this amazing Sleeved Riviera Trisuit!

Sizing: Please refer to the size chart button above for sizing guidance. 
Fit Type:
Compressive
Fit Note –
Triathlon apparel is meant to fit next-to-skin. This is to eliminate potential chafing, and unnecessary drag during the swim, bike and run. If you’re not comfortable with this type of fit and or are between sizes, we recommend sizing up. Garment will relax slightly once wet. If you have a longer torso we recommend going with the Forza Flisuit FFT 

Features & Benefits:

  • Fli-fly™ hidden fly just above the pad, in front for quick on-the-fly bathroom “relief.”
  • 16" straight zipper (we eliminated the Snake-Zip) for easy ventilation on the go
  • 7mm Clasico Integrated Pad has 4-way stretch, is soft next-to-skin, has no seams to eliminate chafing, and offers antimicrobial properties.
  • 1" longer inseam than previous version (RTTS)
  • Forza™ Compressor leg panels help reduce delayed onset muscle fatigue
  • 3-Inch Mobius™ Comfort Compression Band offers equally graduated compression around the legs, so you get the same support with no tightness and squeezing.
  • Skin Cooler 90™ fabric throughout upper body and any part of the garment that has the printed design will keep you cool and comfortable
  • Liftfoil3™ center panels make swimming without a wetsuit faster!
  • Two "Swimmable" Pockets - one on the side of each leg. These pockets are hydrodynamic when swimming without a wetsuit and provide storage solutions for the bike and run. 
  • Black modesty panels in the crotch area to eliminate saddle marks and offer a flattering appearance.
  • Swim, bike, and run in comfort without changing! Race in this kit under your wetsuit or without a wetsuit.
  • This environmentally-friendly innovation is completely free of solvents and the dyes used have no VOC.
  • Not recommended for repeated use in a chlorinated pool
  • WTC Legal
  • Made in USA

GREAT NEWS: Sleeved Trisuits are now legal for use in Ironman and 70.3 races, and it remains legal in many other races not owned by WTC. This trisuit was designed for this very purpose, with hydrodynamics as a factor, not just aerodynamics. 



Inseam lengths:
  •      Small: 9" (22.86cm)
  •      Medium: 9.5" (24.13cm)
  •      Large: 10” (25.40cm)
  •      XLarge: 10.5" (26.67cm).

What makes ours different?  Our Skin Cooler fiber is designed to feel and perform like silk (from a silkworm).  Through Biomimicry, we and created a synthetic silk.  It will keep you cool in hot weather and cooler when it is wet.  Put it on and you will instantly feel the cool sensation.  Wet it and you will notice a drop in the surface temperature of the skin between 7 and 10 degrees.

A MEDICAL TESTIM0NIAL:  We received this letter from a respected Dermatologist and Mohs Surgeon:

 I am an avid runner and triathlete and I recently discovered your Skin Cooler products, of which I'm a huge fan.  I have been wearing them for a few months now and couldn't be happier.  I am a dermatologist and Mohs surgeon.   Every patient I see is plagued by basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, or melanoma.  I recommend your products to my active patients on a daily basis.  It allows them to continue their active lifestyle while protecting themselves from the sun. I find your product to be far superior to all other cooling and sun protective lines.  I truly appreciate your efforts and innovations. 


Note: No garment should ever be a substitute so we always recommend you wear sunscreen underneath these, and all, products. It is crucial to keep in mind that a sunscreen's (whichever brand you may choose) SPF/UPF rating refers only to its ability to protect skin from UVB radiation. Because we know that UVA damage can be just as insidious, it is essential for the health of your skin that you use a sunscreen that contains the UVA-protecting ingredients of titanium dioxide or zinc oxide.

    Great suite for a 70.3

    I bought this suite to run the St. George 70.3 This suite was well constructed an very comfortable for the race of that distance. The lighter color was also really nice for a hot race day and the material breathed very well.

    Tri suit

    The highest quality and most stylish Tri suit out there. Fits like a glove and breathes very well. I’m ordering another one in a different color soon!

    Great trisuit

    Nice fit. Much better than the forza. DeSoto team very helpful at making exchange. Very comfortable for my first full ironman. No chaffing. Pad was adequate on the bike. Tons of pocket space. The fly made multiple pit stops a breeze. No regrets

    Riviera FliSuit - Perfect Trisuit!

    The Riveria Trisuit is AWESOME! Love the fli feature for sure but just overall a great fit and feel for the longer distance triathlon's. Super comfy and the fit is especially great as it just doesn't weigh you down in the later stages of the races. Highly highly recommend!

    Love it so far!

    I had an older DeSoto suit but it had been a couple years since I last raced and wanted a new one. This is so much better than my old one. Swim in salt water chafe free (a first in all my years). I’ve done two races since coming back and podiumed in both. The suit may not be totally the reason but it certainly did not detract from the racing at all, which is what it should do… perform without distraction. For fear of it wearing out, I save it for racing (and pre-race) only but I really would wear it for every brick workout if I could (and if the replacement cost was a bit more manageable).

    Riviera Flisuit

    I like how supported I feel in the suit it's really comfortable to ride and run in. Katie at Desoto was able to dial me into the correct size, great customer experience for me.

    Passed the IM test, fantastic suit

    Highly recommend based on experience training with this suit and completing Ironman Florida. I went with Large, I’m 6’ and 190 lbs. No chafing, no saddle sores, the fly concept worked beautifully during T2 for a quick pit stop. Leg pockets held secure flask and gels on ride and run. Also, I probably got 10+ compliments from spectators who loved the kit. Really does stand out. One thing to note on the fly, I was a little concerned since it tended to “pucker open” during aero, however there was no exposure risk. Compression feel on quads was also apparent and worked well, no cramps or lock ups in the quad or hammy.

    Amazing Tri Suit and Brand!

    Just completed my first Spring Tri and came in 3rd in my age group. The Tri suit worked perfectly, dried quickly and felt great on the bike and the run. As a little bonus Mr. De Soto himself did hello at the event after seeing me in the suit. I can highly recommend the De Soto and this Tri suit!!!

    New suit

    I really like this Suit, the fabric is awesome, and the pockets are perfect. Thats the problem with most tri-suits ,they don’t have enough pockets or big enough pockets this one has both.

    Great suit, survived a bike crash with minor damage to the suit! Had to sew velcro for the fly, to be on the safe side :)

    Perfect Fit

    I did my first race in the Flisuit over the weekend and here are the main takeaways: it dries fast, has plenty of padding for the bike, but not too much when running. I hardly noticed I was wearing it most of the time. It's a pretty stylish looking kit too. I wear a men's small (5'9", 145lbs.) and it fit me perfectly.

    Ironman Texas!!!

    DeSoto created an incredible tri suit for an incredibly warm IronMan. The suit's design left me free from chafing and equally cool on the bike and run!!! The great thing about the suit is the bright colors and unique design!!! Having the open fly for a quick bathroom break did come in handy!!

    Riviera Flisuit

    This is my new favorite tri suit. Love the feel of the fabric, no chafing, and it fits well. I’m 6’1” and 193 lbs with long legs, a shorter torso and broader chest and shoulders. The L fits me well - snug like a tri suit should be but not restricting my movement. The fly feature makes pre-race hydration a breeze!

    Excellent Tri Suit

    After trying many different triathlon suits, the De Soto suit fit me the best. In addition to that, the features that this suit has are top notch. I’m very thankful for the design of the chamois as well as the side pockets. I’m also very impressed with the level of customer service that this company brings to the table. Emilio and his team went above and beyond to make sure that my tri suits fit right, arrived on time, and designed it with me in mind. I have trained in the suits, and I know they will perform very well during race day. I recommend this suit to anyone who wants a suit that is above and beyond. A job well done to the entire De Soto team.

    Super comfortable

    So far, I am loving my De Soto Riviera tri suit. It has the slightly thicker cycling pad I was looking for but doesn’t feel cumbersome during the run. I have only used it for an Olympic triathlon so far with excellent results and plan to use it for a half Ironman and full Ironman later this year. Looking forward to seeing how it performs during these races.

    First 70.3 & Worlds Qualified

    Have only had experience with top end cycling clothing (assos, rapha etc.) and find the Riviera Flisuit to be the most comfortable piece of kit I have ever owned. Unlike some of the competitors offerings (which I have also tried) Desoto really has perfected the chamois for comfort on the bike leg. Can't imagine doing a 70.3 or longer in some of the coarse "aero" fabrics out there.

    Fantastic as usual

    Roka, Castelli, etc. all tried, good but not at this level of quality. Best material, great fit. Order true to size, and no the fly won’t open

    The suit fits great, after sending my body measurements to costumers service, they help me get the right size.

    Great suite

    It was great, my only issue which might just be in my head is the paranoia of the fly letting something slip out

    Best tri kit ever!

    I competed in the Ironman Hawaii 1 week ago and wore the Riviera Flisuit, Retro design. During the race, I got a ton of compliments on the design. One spectator said it the was best looking kit he'd seen all day! Most importantly for me is the quality of the suit. This De Soto kit has by far the highest quality material I have ever worn. It is clear that the company takes quality workmanship very seriously. The fit was perfect and the material felt like silk! The 4mm pad was perfect for triathlon and not too thick for running. It fit nicely under my swim skin, by folding the top half by my waist and then quickly zipping it up after the swim. I couldn't even tell it was under the swim skin. There was no chaffing whatsoever, which is very rare in Kona given all the heat and sweat. Furthermore, the skin cooler material is amazing. I stayed much cooler in this suit by keeping it wet than any other kit I've used in Kona and keeping the core body temperature as low as possible is very important in any hot weather race. For me, there is no other choice for a race kit. Truly awesome product and I'll be getting another one for next season!

    Great Tri Suit

    This suit is incredibly well made. The workmanship and attention to detail are obvious. The fit is close enough for good aerodynamics but not so tight as to be uncomfortable. Once you see and use the built in fly, it seems like a “no brainer” kind of feature that all Tri suit manufacturers would incorporate.

    All day IM distance comfort kit with whistles and bells

    I wanted to provide a review after race day to give an accurate account after IM race number 9. Here are my thoughts thinking about other brands in the past to this kit. 1. The kit just looks great. My Sherpa's found me with ease in the crowds. The patterns and color combinations are great. 2. The Kit stitching and fabric durability is incredible. This kit adapts where you need it. A small tug on the stitching and it relaxes where you need it. 3. The pee hole for guys (the fly) ... this is amazing in the mornings after you have already 'gone to the bathroom' and need to pee 600 times before you race. 4. Very comfortable to bike and run in, the kit moves with you, not against. 5. POCKETS!!!!! Enuff said. The pockets held my 10oz nutrition bottle. Let that sink in. No more Batman looking fuel belt !!!! 6. Built in sun screen. In Boulder, my legs were burned but not anywhere the kit covered me. 7. The kit breathes and helps regulate your core temp. I didn't have to dump a lot of ice in my kit like others in the past. 8. The legs nor arms didn’t ride up anytime during the race. 9. No chafing .... anywhere 10. Low cut neck with protected zipper very comfortable. 11. The pad did NOT feel like a diaper at all during the run. It's very obvious DeSoto listens to the athletes and are athletes themselves. Well thought out kit. I highly recommend the kit for anyone looking to do a sprint or IM distance race. It was perfect! Thanks to the DeSoto team !!!

    Great Suit

    I didn't write a review right away after purchasing the suit because I wanted to make sure it was everything I wanted before deciding to return it or keep it. Well I'm keeping it after using it for a half marathon run, a half ironman, and a sprint. The suit really excels when wet. On a hot day in Texas, I just kept pouring water on the suit and it kept me much cooler than other suits I've used in the past. The quality is excellent and the only reason I thought about returning it is fit. I'm tall and slender, so finding a suit (made by anyone) is a bit of a problem. They are either too short or too baggy. Luckily DeSoto has some great owners that will help you with sizing. It did take a few wearings before the suit fit me well, and the material definitely relaxes after it's wet. The suit isn't going to magically stretch an inch or more, but if you just need another quarter inch to half inch, wear the suit a few times and it'll fit nicely. I'd definitely buy from this brand again.
