Gear reviews for women who race long, hot and humid.
Written, honest reviews of triathlon and endurance gear, tested on a woman's body in South Texas heat. No videos, no hype, and every free item disclosed.
Fit for women's bodies
Sizing, chamois, straps, bra support and torso length: the details that men's reviews skip.
Tested in real heat
Long training days and races in South Texas heat and humidity, by a heavy sweater who needs gear that works when it's soaked.
Written and disclosed
Every review says how the item was obtained. Free gear never buys a positive review. Our policy.
