Choosing the right custom triathlon clothing is about more than just looks; it’s about finding the perfect synergy of comfort, functionality, and style that suits your training and racing.

I have raced in many triathlon clothing manufacturers’ kits over the last 25 years, and some are better than others. So when it is time to order team gear and have it customized with our logo and design, I choose companies that have quality gear and awesome customer service.

One thing to consider, once you order, returns are generally not accepted unless the garments are defective. Be sure to investigate each brand’s return policy before ordering. Many brands offer fit-kits so you can try on sizes first. I’d recommend this approach since the delivery times for some brands can be up to 12 weeks.

So whether you are racing in the Kona Ironman or managing a team’s image, custom triathlon clothing definitely looks professional.

I’ve outlined all the custom triathlon clothing brands that can deliver custom gear for your team or just for a single athlete. Read on.

Every Place to Get Custom Triathlon Clothing

Over the years, triathlon gear has undergone significant evolution, with each brand honing its focus on certain areas of excellence. Here are some of the champions in the world of custom triathlon clothing.

Zoot Custom

As a seasoned player in the triathlon gear industry, Zoot has established a robust reputation among athletes. The company’s commitment to quality is evident in their vibrant, precision-made custom tri suits that are a huge hit amongst teams.

Zoot’s triathlon clothing is widely used by many athletes. The clothing is designed to accommodate the aero position with minimal wrinkling, making it an ideal choice for serious triathletes.

I personally like their LTD line of triathlon clothing, and find that the chamois in the LTD triathlon shorts are very comfortable for Ironman distance events.

Castelli Custom

My first cycling team wore Castelli clothing and it spoiled me. The company is out of Italy, where cycling is a religion.

Castelli apparel looks awesome, as long as you get the sizing correct. It can run a bit small, but the company can provide a “fit kit” to try on gear before you order.

Castelli is known for its high-quality materials that can withstand many washes without losing quality. While they are a dominant force in the cycling world, they are less common in the triathlon industry.

It may just be me, but you feel better and look faster when you wear Castelli.

Epix Gear

Epix Gear offers a simple customization strategy and they offer free design assistance. They are very popular with Solo orders, and become very price effective when purchasing for a Team.

I’ve worn their Pro-edition tri top, bike jersey, tri shorts, and cycling shorts. I prefer their tri shorts personally. The chamois is good in both tri shorts and cycling shorts, however, I found that the waistband seems to loosen up after it’s been wet.
