The BOREALIS - HYPERMESH™ SUPER SUIT absolutely lives up to the “super suit” name. From the moment you put it on, you can feel this was designed by people who truly understand high-performance racing in hot and humid conditions.
The standout feature is the Hypermesh™ fabric — insanely breathable, ultra-light, and incredibly comfortable even during long efforts. On hot race days, it genuinely helps regulate body temperature better than most suits I’ve worn. The airflow is noticeable, especially once you’re up to speed on the bike.
Aerodynamically, the suit feels fast. The fit is compressive without being restrictive, and the material moves naturally whether you’re climbing, in aero position, or running hard off the bike. It feels premium in every details.
If you race in tropical or humid climates, this suit is a serious advantage. Lightweight, breathable, fast, and visually stunning — easily one of the best tri suits I’ve used.
Highly recommended for athletes chasing PRs and wanting elite-level performance gear.
Does not become heavy and keeps on breathing even in very hot and humid running conditions
As with other purpose running tee i’ve bought before the performancewear is exceptional as usual. Will surely buy again for new model
High quality with a good fit, nice to wear outside races for social events
The first item i had gotten under the brand and it set a very high bar for other brands.
I am sad i didnt discover this sooner
Used the tri suit for the first time on my t100 race and WOW, it was incredible! Super comfy and easy to maneuver around the arms. Zip and fit was very good and LOVE the pockets for fuel/ice. Amazing suit. Would buy more
I’m really impressed with this tri suit. It’s incredibly comfortable and fits like a second skin without feeling restrictive at all. The material is light and breathable, which makes a huge difference during all three stages of a race. I didn’t experience any chafing, even over longer distances, which is a big win.
What stood out the most is how it manages to be both skin-tight and still the most comfortable tri suit I’ve worn. It moves really well with my body and doesn’t ride up or feel awkward when transitioning between swim, bike, and run.
I also love the colour. Overall, this is definitely my favourite tri suit so far and one I’d highly recommend.
I think it's the pro plus. Yes based in others I have bought it's more ex but I love it. Others maybe not 100% prevents nipple bleeding but have had 0 issues with Purpose stuff and want to buy my 3rd one soon.
I have a yellow one of the same model. I like it so much that when the opportunity came up I bought a second one. That way I don't look the same on every race photo! ;-)
Keeps me cool on humid days. That's the key!
I run in Singapore, where it is hot and humid every day.
At first I didn't believe the marketing materials. "How can that be?" "It's probably not worth it". Until I tried it. And wow! Impressive! Once it's wet, specially if you had started with ice, it will keep you cool for a long time! Haven't tried it for a full marathon yet, but I did wet it on Saturday afternoon, and it was still cold to wear on sunday morning.
Wore these socks for a half marathon and felt great!
The cap is super light and breathable. Used it for a half marathon run and it absorbed sweat and prevented to trickle down my face. Highly recommended!
The suit feels good and looks nice too. The personal service from Purpose is really good.
Great suit, fitted really well and very comfortable. First time wearing it on the day for Ironman New Zealand and best of all No chafing!!!! Highly recommend
This tri suit is very comfortable, good chamois. The fabric is very soft and stretchy. Lots of pockets to store ice if needed.
It looks also very cool.
I purchased one of these trisuits at the Ironman expo in New Zealand prior to my race. I was highly impressed by its performance and it really did help in keeping me cool during the race. It also looks fantastic. I would highly recommend and the 3XL sizing fit great for those of you who are very tall.
OMG - this suit absolutely rocks!! After wearing running shorts and singlets (purpose of course) for IMNZ and in training, I was a little apprehensive to change for IMNZ 70.3. I shouldn’t worried, the pad is subtle but enough protection for cycling and not noticeable when running. The material is super breathable and soft against your skin, and the ice pockets, just next level thoughts in the design!! I can’t rate this suit highly enough!! Super happy and will def purchase again once this one has done its dash.
The only “issue” I had was the fit was a bit baggy around my waist (big hips, small waist), but a quick trip to a local seamstress had it fitting like a glove, so a super easy fix.
Absolutely great product, dealt with the Sri Lankan sun beautifully. The pocket at the front especially good allowing for ice storage between aid stations which kept my head cool the entire race as it melted. Would never be without this hat for a hot race
