I like the Louis Garneau tri shorts. I used them all last season and
will do the same this season.

Now that's product support.

I own one of your tops. It's really nice. The only problem I have is that
I'm between sizes. The only thing that fits me tight enough to swim in is
too short.

I'm new to triathlon, so I hope this isn't too naive a comment. My LBS
guy says use vaseline--THOUROUGHLY. I haven't gone over a hundred
miles with it yet, but what more do you want? I have found that I can
apply it before the swim, and it does not wash off--good for the whole
tri.
