LazyDaisy Jan 2018 9:09pm, 31 Jan 2018 21,324 posts	0 LazyDaisy My trisuit came as a 3 piece - a crop top compression bra, a vest and shorts. Fir just swimming and cycling I don't bother with the bra but it works well for running and was comfortable enough for swimming and cycling. Not easy to get out of afterwards though

I had priced up one on Amazon for £45 , I know it's got the club name printed on but still seems steep. Or am I living in a dream and is that the going rate??
