R2.0 Road Helmet
Your helmet is your number one piece of safety equipment. As long as the helmet is safety certified it will provide an excellent level of protection. The range in prices among helmets tends to come from the level of aerodynamics provided or extra features such as built in visors.

R1 Goggle - ROKA Sports, Inc.
Having the right pair of goggles can make or break your swim session or race day experience. Having goggles that don’t fit your face are likely to result in them falling down, leaking, or being strapped to your face so tight you feel bruised afterwards! When completing a triathlon it’s also important to consider using goggles with some form of tinted lens, to ensure you can see where you are swimming regardless of the sun's position.

Blueseventy Women's Helix Triathlon Wetsuit
High Price Point! Blue Seventy is personally my favourite. Having a good wetsuit is a key investment for triathlon. You don’t need one to get started however it’s a fantastic asset if you’re training or racing in colder water, or when doing longer distance events. They’re also a great tool for weaker swimmers as the buoyancy helps you maintain a higher body position in the water. Whilst they are a more expensive piece of equipment, they can last for years if you look after them!

Trinity Tri Shoe
The shoes you wear for the big leg in a triathlon need to be comfy, but also easy to put on and remove in transition. This is why we recommend purchasing triathlon shoes rather than traditional cycling shoes, as tri shoes will typically be designed for fast transitions.
