Fat Lad At The Back launch their new plus size Triathlon suit
Triathlons are back! After a long-awaited return, we are once again able to get back into racing this summer. Although many events may not be able to return in their former glory, many will still be going ahead with appropriate measures in place. Who’s ready for it? Well, the Fat Lad At The Back is.
There’s a disbelief in people’s eyes when they hear that people with a 58” chest are in the market for a triathlon suit but it’s a much bigger audience than you think. There’s triathletes of every size out there and many of the Fat Lad At The Back community are avid triathletes eagerly waiting to get back to it.
The brand infamously known for creating top quality cycle wear for every body, especially larger cyclists put its existing triathlon loving customers to a wearer trial to develop their brand new triathlon suit during lockdown 2020. The suit is back and with a new and improved design, made from a sports Lycra fabric featuring a lightweight triathlon pad, silicone hems to keep the legs in place and a front zip providing some extra ventilation when needed. It also means you don’t have to be Harry Houdini to get in and out of it. The suit comes in men’s size 44” to 58” chest and women's 42” to 50” bust and is guaranteed durability.
Lynn Bye, Co-Founder and Boss Lady at Fat Lad says "Triathlon is no longer just the domain of the skinny whippet. People of all shapes and sizes are having a go and it’s wonderful to see what they can achieve. For larger people finding quality triathlon gear which fits well can be a challenge but couldn’t be more important to their experience and feeling of being part of the ‘club’. Our new suits will be one less thing that people have to have to think about on the day”.
