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.
Product will depart within 4 weeks from the date of your order.

This Forza Fliisuit has short sleeves and the Fli-fly™ for quick relief on the go!
Choose your color, size, and pad thickness!
We would be happy to offer any design we have offered in the recent past, but do not see it as an option above. Email contact@desotosport for details.
Sizing: Please refer to the size chart button above for sizing guidance. Fit Type: Compressive Fit Note: If you have a long torso, or if you are tall and lean, and in search of a one-piece trisuit, this is the one for you. Please do not assume your size, please use our size chart. If in doubt, email questions to contact@desotosport.com. 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 fit the most snug the first time you put it on, it will relax slightly once wet.
Features & Benefits:
Short Sleeves for more cooling and sun protection
Fli-fly™hidden fly just above the pad, in front for quick on-the-fly bathroom “relief.”
Solid black Liftfoil™ center panels provide durability and comfort. We intentionally kept these as black “modesty” panels in the crotch area of all models including the white version to avoid saddle stains while creating a flattering appearance.
16-inch YKK® front zipper for on-the-go ventilation
This suit has 5 utility pockets to fit all your racing needs
Curvilinear™ seamlines, and contrast flatstitch offer support, comfort and aerodynamic advantage
Swim, bike, and run in comfort without changing. Race with it under your wetsuit!
Disclaimer: swimming in murky water, including ponds, streams, bays, etc. may cause staining
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
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.
Pad Dimensions:
Thickness - 4mm Clasico;
Min Thickness: .05" (1.25mm)
Total Length: 11.25" (28.5cm)
Front Max Width: 4.5" (11.5cm)
Waist Width - most narrow point: 3.5" (8.5cm)
Back Max Width: 6.5" (16.5cm)
Inseam lengths:
Small: 9.5" (24.13cm)
Medium: 10" (25.40cm)
Large: 10.5" (26.67cm)
XLarge: 11" (27.94cm)
Inseam Note - Shorter Leg Length than other brands: Have you seen the length of the shorts that riders have been wearing in Europe lately, especially in the Grand Tours? As opposed to most brands here in the states, which come just above the knees, our shorts are comfortably shorter. Our inseam is similar to those currently used by the pros in the Grand Tours. They have no gripper elastic, yet stay in place and do not bind or squeeze the legs, which is crucial once you get to the run segment of a triathlon.
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.

Forza byos sleeveless trisuit
Third purchase of this excellent suit from an equally excellent supplier. Do not hesitate. You will not be disappointed. Not cheap but buy cheap buy twice as they say. Would not go anywhere else for a suit. Absolutely top notch service from start to finish.

Same Excellent Quality I Expect
This is my 4th Desoto Tri Suit in addition to accumulating several bike jerseys and bike shorts over the years. The lastest purchase Forza Suit fits and wears just like the others and has vibrant colors. Will wear for IM Wisconsin

We are excited for your race, but DON'T WAIT UNTIL THEN TO TRY IT! It is best test everything in training before you race in it.
I have raced a few times in DeSoto gear and this suit is excellent. Top notch materials and construction. Very comfortable on all three legs of at 70.3 race in Florida. The "fli" is innovative and quite useful. I have raced in the Riviera and Forza suits, and I find the Forza is a bit larger in the shorts part - and fits me better. You will love the Riviera or the Forza DeSoto Flisuit!

This is the best fitting tri suit that’s ever owned. On top of that, the seams and the design are also first rate. Can’t wait to race in it!

Quality for those pursuing excellence
I remember my first De Soto short for Ironman racing in 2002. Today, I’m using the Forza Flisuit sleeved for long training brick days and races. The help from Emilio on sizing was personalized and spot on. As a tall and lean triathlete, its’ fit, comfort and function (with the fly and the 5 pockets!) is unmatched.

Forza Flisuit Sleeved-BYOS
Received excellent advice from DeSoto as far as sizing. Suit fits very well. Design is very cool looking and construction appears very solid. Have not had a chance to train in it yet but it is comfortable. Believe I made a wise choice buying this tri suit.
"Recently completed a tough Ironman course with an ocean swim and hot/humid climate. I did not have a single area of discomfort from the salt, perspiration, rubbing, etc. Not a single hot spot. The kit fit is spectacular. One can choose to get perfect fit and perfect chamois. Comfortable through all three disciplines. Bike the chamois really felt comfortable. Running, it wasn't even noticeable. Also, a call out on the arm coolers (required number tattoos made it look dark...the coolers are nice and white) and neck gaiter. Helped keep me cool. Very happy with the comfort and performance of everything from Desoto."

Thank you.
Not one to generally write reviews but it is definitely warranted here. The suit and the sales support were both amazing. Thank you. Did a ton of research, landed on DeSoto, and would highly recommend.
This wetsuit is my favorite and I have done over 75 long course events. Recently did Ironman St George and did not have single chafe or irritation. Fit under the Wave 1 wetsuit perfectly. For long course, I love the large pockets for stuffing nutrition on the bike. The small pockets on the side are perfect for salt or other small special needs for bike and especially the run. The leg fit is very nice / tight without squeezing my quads. I love the ability to lower the front zipper to help with cooling. I love the 'fli-fly' -- simple and great.

You can Fli in this suit!
This is the 2nd Flisuit I ordered, although I have many other De Soto products (Riviera Fli Bib, T1 wetsuit, etc.). Living in Miami, the Skin Cooler material is perfect for our hot and humid weather. The Fli-fly makes bathroom breaks easy for longer events. I wore this in Challenge Daytona, looking forward to using it at Challenge Miami.
