Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Unisex Heavy Cotton Triathlon Tee by Gildan 5000?

The Unisex Heavy Cotton Triathlon Tee by Gildan 5000, branded as "TriSpirit," is a budget-friendly cotton T-shirt designed for triathletes' training, casual wear, or as merch. It is made of 100% preshrunk cotton and features durable double-needle construction available in many colors.

Can I use the Gildan 5000 tee during a triathlon race?

While it can be worn for low-stakes or beginner triathlon races, it is not recommended for serious events. The 100% cotton fabric absorbs water, dries slowly, and increases chafing and weight during the swim, bike, and run. Technical fabrics are recommended for better performance and comfort.

What are the benefits of using the Gildan 5000 tee for triathletes?

This tee is affordable, durable, and comfortable for training sessions, gym workouts, and post-race recovery. It is also great for team branding, volunteer shirts, and social/team visibility during events.

What limitations should I be aware of when using the Gildan 5000 tee?

The Gildan 5000 tee does not wick moisture or dry quickly, may hold sweat and heat, and can cause chafing in long or hot efforts. It is not designed for quick-change transitions, as it lacks features like zippers and race pockets.

Is the Gildan 5000 tee suitable for different phases of triathlon training?

The Gildan 5000 is suitable for base training and recovery phases due to its comfort and low cost. For higher-intensity or peak phases, triathletes should use technical gear that manages moisture and reduces chafe. It is ideal for post-race relaxation.

How does the Gildan 5000 tee compare to typical triathlon apparel?

While more affordable, the Gildan 5000 lacks the performance features of tri-specific apparel, such as moisture management, chafe reduction, and specialized race pockets. It is recommended for high-volume training and team merchandise rather than as a primary race kit.
