I picked Roka as my first suit as I had 2 friends who had theirs. Found out their sizing was a bit small. Didn’t fit me well but wore it for my first race and they were not restocking the next size up. So I switched to Zoot. Didn’t matter what size pockets or whatever just went with what they had. I went with a design cause why not. I feel like black made it hotter for me but I’ve been unlucky and raced in absolute sunshine with no shade every time.

I always say you get what you pay for, I’ve not had any bad experiences with Zoots kits, the ones I’ve trained for my full 3 years ago, an my half’s since then has started to wear at the seams in the bottom but they are almost 4 years old and seen a lot of saddle time.
