Well, don’t say we didn’t tell youDESCENTE have been (formally) announced as the new apparel sponsor of British Triathlon.

With news coming much later than we expected, here are the new British Triathlon Age-Group Tri-Suits.

Colours aside – which look good to me at first glance – I bet I’m not the only one thinking, “that looks remarkably similar to another brand…?”

British Triathlon have today, Wednesday 5 April, announced a four-year partnership with global sports apparel brand DESCENTE, beginning Spring 2017.
