Question: | I'm 5´7", 189 lbs, chest 43-44 and waist 34. Is small ok |
Answer: | I don't think so. I'm 5'7" 156lbs. I've got the Medium ans it fits perfect. I would say you are between Medium and Large. Because small will be too tight in the chest and you could have chafing when swimming. |

User questions & answers
Question: | I am 5'8 and 150 lbs Should i get a medium or a large |
Answer: | I would guess a medium. I am a little over 5’9”, currently 160. When I first got it, I was closer to 170. It still fits great, but I think if you are 10 pounds lighter, a medium may be a better choice. I would not hesitate to recommend or buy this suit again. I’ve done all of my long rides (50miles or more) in this, and have just washed on delicate and hung dry afterwards. It has held up great!! |
Question: | I’m 5’10” & 131lbs. Would a medium be too short |
Answer: | It might be too short. I am 5'7" and about the same weight but any taller and it may be slightly uncomfortable (in certain places) |
Question: | I'm 5'6, 177 lbs... would you recommend a Large or Medium |
Answer: | I’m 5’7 and 150 lbs and I think I got a medium ? |
Question: | I am 5'4" and 160 lbs. Will the large be too long on me |
Answer: | Hello Meghan,Thanks for the question. A Large would be too long for you. I would recommend a shorts and a top - we do have those in the same design and you would be much happier with it. |
- ✅ ATTENTION: These trisuits run bigger than other brands!!! Please refer to the size chart in the images for a perfect fit (do NOT base your sizing on the reviews/questions. NEW IMPROVED DESIGN AND FIT !!!) Please do NOT guess your size - if in doubt, please size down.
- SIZING: Please see size chart on left (images). If you are on the low end of height and weight for a size, we recommend to size down. The suit would be too big for you.
- FRONT ZIP FOR CUSTOMIZED COMFORT: Race heating up? Breathe easy. Just open the front half-zipper to let in cooling airflow. Chill in the air? Pull the zip back up & lock it down in its zipper garage.

Our brand SLS3 stands for: German Design - Premium Quality
We listened to our customers
When we started our business, we focused on four essential pieces: a triathlon suit, a pair of tri shorts, a tri top and one kind of compression socks. We made these four items with great care and attention to detail, along with German precision and a hefty dose of passion for the sport.
Over time our business and customer base grew. We developed and tested every product. But most importantly, we listened to our customers. From their feedback, we grew our product range and continue to design new items and styles to meet every taste, budget and fit.
Our process and small footprint
Every item we create is researched and developed from scratch. We choose our materials and trims with great care and oversee production from start to end. We also personally test every new piece in the field. When we deem it “awesome,” we put it into production.
And with our co-founder Sylvie casting her “German eagle-eye” over every item, our gear meets the high quality and standards our customers expect.
We’re also mindful of our business presence. In production, we strive to keep our carbon footprint small.
We love to give back
We love we what we do! We’ve been able to create a range of products that help our fellow athletes succeed. We also help some other pretty special people -- our “furry” friends.
- ✅ To properly fit into our suits, both your height and weight measurements must match the specific size range (i.e. weight size M and height size M). If both of your height and weight measurements DO NOT match the specific size range, we suggest you consider the option of a top and shorts set. This option will provide you a more comfortable and better fit. THESE TRI SUITS OFFER A SLIM ATHLETIC FIT.
- ✅ SUPPORT AND COMFORT WHERE YOU NEED IT MOST: The quick drying fabric mix of these mens tri suits delivers unparalleled comfort and support. Designed for a medium level of compression that supports your muscles without feeling tight or restricting. The tri-suits are finished with flatlock seams to ensure a chafe-free experience during your race.
- ✅ POCKETS PERFECTED: Triathletes adopt various methods when it comes to carrying nutrition. The back pockets lock down your stuff when it's time to get after it. They provide easy access to your energy gels, bars or chews when needed.
- ✅ THIN BUT EFFECTIVE CHAMOIS: The chamois pad in this tri suit is a lot thinner than that which you’d find in a pair of cycling bib shorts. This reduces the chance of chafing on the run, and also means it dries more quickly. However, the chamois still provides enough padding for comfortable bike riding and does not hinder you on the run.
- ✅ PREMIUM EVERYTHING: Unlike the big brands that over design and overcharge, we make high-quality tri suits that are designed by athletes for athletes. We’ve built SLS3 to reflect our passions and values: make an awesome product at an affordable price, delivered straight to your house.

Answer: | I would suggest going only one size down! Good luck with your training! |
Question: | Is it better to size up or down? height: medium (5'7"), weight: large (150), bust: xl (38d |

Advanced Features
The Triwetsuit is fully coated with polyurethane to cut down on drag for faster swimming and easier glide through the water. The reverse zipper facilitates quick exits and fast transitions. Swim with total flexibility, be hydrodynamic in the water, rise to the top at optimal speed.
Long Sleeve or Sleeveless
The Powerskin Carbon Wetsuit is offered in both long sleeve and sleeveless options to suit your water temperature and buoyancy needs (NOTE: Due to the additional material and corresponding buoyancy, long sleeve wetsuits can alter a competitive swimmer’s stroke slightly. We recommend practicing before racing in a full sleeve wetsuit, but this is an ideal suit for the recreational open water swimmer).

All of our wetsuits use a Nylon bonded to Neoprene construction for durability and warmth. The material varies in thickness across different parts of the suit for optimal buoyancy, freedom of movement, and warmth.

User questions & answers
Question: | Pocket big enough for phones |
Answer: | Is it a waterproof phone? I don't think the pocket is big enough. |
Question: | I have a 30,7 inch waist, which is in between of Small and Medium, which one should i go for |
Answer: | The medium. I was between a medium and a large and went with the large. They were a comfortable fit in the wetsuit on the bike and the run. |
Question: | What is the length of the small size |
Answer: | I have size medium. From the top of the waist to the bottom of the leg it’s 15.5”. From the center of the crotch to the bottom of the leg it’s 6”. That’s for a size medium. These are definitely shorter than regular cycling shorts. Also, I have a 31” waist and next time I will order small instead of medium. |
Question: | Can you use this shorts to swim in a pool and open seas directly ? (Without a wetsuit on top |
Answer: | Absolutely. They are designed to go directly from the swim to the bike to the run. I would advise applying Glide to your inner thighs if you are going to bike or run after swimming for extra insurance. I have had no problems at all transitioning. They are quite comfortable. I recently did the Quantico Triathlon in the blazing heat, and these shorts worked perfectly for all three phases. |

Question: | I'm 5'11 with 33 waist what size should I use |
Answer: | I'm 5'11 and 34, and I got a medium that fit just right. I'd imagine that would work for 33. |
Question: | Do these tri shorts ride up on the bike |
Answer: | Hello, Thanks for your question. These tri shorts should NOT ride up since they do have a leg band that has silicone fibers, which prevent the shorts from riding up. If you do have extremely skinny legs, there might be chance of riding up. We hope this helps. |

About SLS3:
Our brand SLS3 stands for: German Design - Premium Quality
We listened to our customers
When we started our business, we focused on four essential pieces: a triathlon suit, a pair of tri shorts, a tri top and one kind of compression socks. We made these four items with great care and attention to detail, along with German precision and a hefty dose of passion for the sport.
Over time our business and customer base grew. We developed and tested every product. But most importantly, we listened to our customers. From their feedback, we grew our product range and continue to design new items and styles to meet every taste, budget and fit.
Our process and small footprint
Every item we create is researched and developed from scratch. We choose our materials and trims with great care and oversee production from start to end. We also personally test every new piece in the field. When we deem it “awesome,” we put it into production.
And with our co-founder Sylvie casting her “German eagle-eye” over every item, our gear meets the high quality and standards our customers expect.
We’re also mindful of our business presence. In production, we strive to keep our carbon footprint small.
We love to give back
We love we what we do! We’ve been able to create a range of products that help our fellow athletes succeed. We also help some other pretty special people -- our “furry” friends.
As dog lovers, we appreciate the work that the great folk at Villalobos Rescue Center do every day. Thanks to SLS3’s growth, we’re able to assist them in their amazing work. We help out where we can with dog toys, blankets, food items -- and a lot of love.
To you, our customer
We create athletic gear to help you achieve your fitness and competition goals. And we listen, because without you, SLS3 would not be possible!
We know you will love our products as much as we love creating them for you. We hope you'll let us in on your experiences and races by dropping us a line or connecting with us through social media. We’d also love to hear how our gear helped you reach your goals!
Happy Racing!
Sebastian and Sylvie, Founding Members SLS3
