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.

BUST - 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.

What makes ours different?  Our Skin Cooler fiber is designed to feel and perform like silk (from a silkworm).  Through Biomimicry, we took the virtues of this natural fiber 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.

    Addicted to De Soto

    I have this shirt in Entropy of Color and wore it for my first triathlon. I'm addicted to the sport and to De Soto! I came back and bought this in the Lava Rock Ying Yang. I'm ultra marathon training and knew I would continue training while vacationing in Aruba. The cooling works!!

    Lightweight and comfortable

    I really like this jersey. The material is very soft and lightweight, so it is good for cycling in warm weather. The design has received many compliments. I also like how the closure at the top of the zipper is not as high as most other jerseys.

    Women Skin Cooler Full Zip and 400 Mile Cycling Short

    In the 20 plus years I have been riding no product compares to the Cycling tops and especially the cycling shorts, the 400 mile or the Triathlon Cycling shorts. No chafing whatsoever! Highly recommend these products, made of great fabrics comfortable to ride in for long distances. The products wash well and are durable for several years. And I love the bright and bold designs!

    A Mighty Top

    I originally ordered this in the size I thought would fit (medium), then panicked and talked to Customer Service who determined that given my larger shoulders and bust size a Large would fit me better. This top feels like absolutely nothing, it is that thin. I planned to use the top for Ironman Maryland and trained in NC heat and humidity for over a month. This top was AMAZING at keeping me cool and comfortable in all of my long (7 hours) rides when it got "Hotter than Hades" as my training buddy said. I overheated on a run in the blazing sun due to not having enough water, but being able to soak this top cooled me down quickly, exactly as I needed. Although I ordered a large, which was perfect for the ride and run, it was a bit "floaty" feeling on the swim. I had NO issues with jellyfish stinging me through the top (anywhere that was exposed, yes) since I didn't wear a wetsuit. I was worried that I might have some chafing from the full zipper, never a problem. I didn't even notice the zipper the top fit so well. I definitely recommend this top to anyone interested. I saw it more on men than women at my race, which surprised me a little. For all of it's "nothingness" it's definitely a mighty top and I'm glad I found it.

    Hot Humid Triathlon Approved!

    I bought this trisuit top for my 1st triathlon. I have to say customer support is great. I talked with someone via live chat and got fantastic feedback on sizing which meant a medium top and large bottoms. I also ordered a small which definitely fit the way it should, nice and snug, but I opted for the medium for just that little bit of extra room. Fyi, I'm 5'1' and 125lbs if that helps anyone. I am small up top and more weight in my thighs/hips and some belly. The tri was such a HOT day and this shirt was a life saver! It really does cool you down! My sweat was my best friend and helped with the cooling effect! My daughter also thinks I look like an action superhero which I definitely like for all the hard work I put in! Love the easy access pockets on the back! This gets worn weekly for training rides too. A must have!

    Nothing new on race day….except this top.

    The full-zip top worked amazingly well! I bought it about 6 weeks before my first Ironman. I wanted to test it’s ability to keep you cool before I had my race in Iowa. Our Minnesota spring (my home) had other ideas. It was a cold, wet spring which didn’t allow me to try out the top in the heat. I took a chance and still wore it on race day, which was two weeks ago….a very sunny, warm and humid June day. I walked away with zero sunburn (the top protected me and I had sunscreen on my arms). I dumped water on myself during the hot run and the top did a great job keeping me feeling comfortable. No chafing or rubbing either. My brother had suggested this top (he’s raced many Ironmans and other tris in these tops) and I am so glad he did! It is worth the money!

    Best jersey for hot cycling days

    This fabric is magical. It makes such a difference on hot days. I tend to run hot anyway and this jersey is the only one that can help me keep my cool! Seriously, after a hot ride, if I touch my hand to my skin under my jersey on my stomach, my skin is cold. Amazing. This is the only jersey I wear in the summer. Love it!

    skin cooler shirt has saved me from heat exhaustion more than once

    Awesome. I wear it every week now. I’m training for IM Whistler on July 28th which means I am training in the heat here in Texas. I now own 3 of your skin cooler tops and I love them! This past weekend I had the group of cyclists feel my stomach b/c it was cold when it was crazy hot outside. I’m amazed and so thankful I stumbled on these products!

    WOMEN'S SKIN COOLER TRI TOP - SHORT SLEEVE*

    I absolutely love the look and feel of this top, unfortunately the weather in the UK is hindering the opportunity to get out and wear it! Can't wait for some warmer weather - one thing is for sure I am going to stand out in the crowd

    Love this fabric!

    I was skeptical that this fabric would perform as well as it does. It is very lightweight and thin and comfortable. It feels very soft on the skin. I rode hills on a 95 degree afternoon in high humidity. I was very surprised how much cooler I felt than with a regular jersey. I love this fabric. The 400 mile shorts are also great.

    Wonderful

    I started doing triathlons last year and, being as fair skinned as I am, I had a hard time finding cute clothes that could keep up with my excessively sweaty tendencies and keep me protected from the sun. I've now worn my shirt for two tri seasons and couldn't be happier. From swim to bike to run I feel comfortable and protected.
