Custom Kit — Triathlon Squads

Custom triathlon kit is squad or club apparel — trisuits, jerseys, bibs and training kit — designed in your colours and built for the swim, the bike, and the run. DTR handles a full squad order end to end: tri-native design, one contact, race-grade fabric, and everything matched from race-day trisuit to training kit. This guide covers what makes tri kit different, how a squad order works, and how to get a kit your whole club is proud to line up in.

Why triathlon squads order custom kit

Matching kit does something on a start line. It turns a scattered group of athletes into a recognisable squad, gives a club the identity that recruits new members and shows up in every finish-line photo, and — quietly — gives your athletes the small psychological edge of belonging to a team that looks the part at an Ironman or 70.3. Sponsors get real visibility across three disciplines and a full day of racing. And a squad in one coherent kit simply looks like it means business.

Built for swim, bike and run

Triathlon kit has to work in the water, on the bike, and on the run without a compromise anywhere — which is why tri kit isn't just a cycling kit with the logo swapped. DTR's custom trisuits use a tri-specific chamois that supports the bike leg without slowing the run, a chlorine-resistant outer that survives pool sessions, and an aero fit calibrated across all three disciplines. Choose sleeved or sleeveless depending on your athletes and your races, and know it's the same performance fabric DTR races in — not printed merchandise.

One order, the whole squad

A squad order isn't just trisuits. You can put trisuit, jersey and bibs in a single order, add matched training kit so your athletes look like a team on every session — not only race day — and mix men's and women's cuts throughout. You get a sizing chart and fit guidance so the whole squad is measured properly, and your design is saved on file, so next season's members slot straight into the same kit without a redesign.

How the process works

Squad orders follow a clear path. Share a brief — colours, logos, and the disciplines and distances your squad races. DTR presents two to three design routes on real product templates, you review with your committee, and nothing goes to production until it's approved. From there it's made in the same factory as the retail line, invoiced on agreed terms, and shipped worldwide — to one address or split across your members. A dedicated contact runs the order from brief to delivery, turnaround is typically seven to nine weeks depending on the season, and orders start from a low minimum — confirm the current figures when you enquire, especially ahead of a race calendar.

Getting your squad order right

A little planning makes a squad kit land. Lock your colours and logo files early (Pantone if you have them) to save a design round. Decide sleeved versus sleeveless and your pad option up front, based on the distances your squad races. Run a proper sizing session — tri fit is close, and guessing sizes across a squad is where orders go wrong. Order race and training kit together so everyone matches from the first session, and remember the design stays on file, so you can add new members or a second batch any time.

Why DTR for triathlon squads

The kit is the same race-grade apparel DTR makes for its retail line — real triathlon kit, tested at the distances your squad races, from Ironman and 70.3 to Challenge, Norseman and Xterra. Every order comes with free design support, a dedicated account contact, worldwide shipping, and reorders kept on file. DTR designs and develops its apparel in Ukraine and has manufactured for over six years, so your squad order gets tri-native production experience, not a first attempt. Pricing is quote-based around your styles, quantities and finish — a figure built for your squad, not an off-the-shelf number.
