Next Level Ringer Tee - Vintage-Style Running Shirt with Watercolor Heart Design

The Ringer Tee is perfect for short runs, warm-ups, and post-race recovery. It's great for beginner triathletes during base-phase training, travel days, or athlete village comfort. We recommend it for sprint triathlon training, warm-ups, and as a fresh top after your swim-to-bike transition.

Absolutely—it's designed with beginners in mind! This affordable tee serves as a low-pressure entry into triathlon apparel, perfect for short training runs or your first sprint tri. Just practice wearing it beforehand to ensure it feels comfortable during transitions. For Olympic or longer distances, consider upgrading to a full trisuit as you gain experience.

Machine wash in cold water with like colors and air dry to keep the vintage design looking fresh. Avoid bleach and high heat to preserve the lightweight, breathable fabric. With proper care, it should last through multiple training sessions and race weekends.

This ringer tee positions as entry-level apparel at about $18–$30, making it a budget-friendly choice compared to technical tri tops or trisuits that often range from $80–$300. It's an excellent value for building your triathlon wardrobe while keeping style and comfort in mind. Plus, our 30-day satisfaction guarantee applies if it doesn't fit your needs.

Use it for sprint triathlons where race times are shorter and you want a casual, packable option. It's not recommended for Olympic, Half, or Full IRONMAN distances due to the demands on moisture management and transitions—stick to dedicated tri-specific clothing for those and save the ringer for training or recovery.
