Is this long-sleeve tee suitable for beginner triathletes?

Absolutely perfect for newcomers to triathlon! This affordable cotton tee serves as an excellent entry-level piece for building your gear collection. Use it for race-day logistics, travel, transitions, and casual endurance activities without breaking the bank. It's a great starting point while you invest in more technical items for serious training.

How should I care for the cotton long-sleeve tee to keep it looking new?

This heavyweight garment-dyed cotton is built to last with proper care. Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle to preserve the dye and prevent shrinkage. Air dry flat or on a wide hanger to maintain shape, and avoid high-heat drying. The durable double-needle stitching will hold up through frequent transition-bag use if you wash it regularly but not excessively.

How should I use this tee during triathlon training and races?

Wear it as a cozy warm-up layer before your swim start or a cool-down cover after your run. It's ideal thrown over your trisuit in transition areas for spectator moments or when heading to the finish line. Pair it with technical gear for aerobic sessions, but keep it dry for best comfort—avoid using it during the actual swim, bike, or hard runs where moisture management matters most.

Is this tee compliant with triathlon race regulations?

This casual cotton tee works great for pre- and post-race activities like warm-ups and cool-downs, but wetsuit rules vary by event—check your specific race regulations. For IRONMAN and other long courses, stick to approved technical layers during the event to avoid disqualification. Use it off the race clock for comfort and style.

Wash in cold water on gentle cycle to preserve the dye and prevent shrinkage. Air dry flat or on a wide hanger to maintain shape. Avoid high-heat drying. The double-needle stitching holds up through frequent washes—just don't overdo it.

💡 Pro Tip

Throw this tee over a base layer for chillier pre-race mornings—it'll keep you warm without the bulk of wetsuit prep. Perfect as a "throwaway layer" you can hand off before your wave starts.

⚠️ Race Day Note

This casual cotton tee is designed for pre- and post-race comfort—not for wearing during the actual event. For IRONMAN and other courses, stick to approved technical layers during the race. Check your specific event regulations for wetsuit and apparel rules.
