Triathlon gear can be pricey, so shopping the Black Friday sales is a great way to save some money.

The number of product discounts seems to get bigger every year and there are plenty of opportunities to bag a bargain. But it’s a good idea to decide what you’ll look for and where you’ll shop before the madness starts. 

To help you find the best Black Friday triathlon deals, we’ve listed the retailers to bookmark. While some are offering early discounts, others are getting ready to launch sales later in the month. 

Here’s everything you need to know before the big day if you’re hoping to invest in some new triathlon kit. 

When is Black Friday 2021?

This money-saving day always falls on the Friday after Thanksgiving in the US. This year, it’ll be 26 November but, as you’ve probably noticed, retailers tend to start launching deals earlier every year. You can expect to see lots of discounts towards the start of the week, or even a full week before the big day itself. 

Early Black Friday triathlon deals

You don’t need to wait until Friday 26 November to find fantastic deals. There are already offers on a range of triathlon gear. Check out the early deals below. 

Zoggs Predator Flex Swimming Goggles – Various discounts, up to 20% off

"Zoggs

Zoggs is a respected brand in the swimming goggles market and has discounted its Predator Flex models ahead of Black Friday. There are a few colour options available, but they all have a number of useful features. 

Thanks to Zoggs’ exclusive ‘advanced ultra-fit gasket’, the goggles should form a tight seal against the face without creating a build-up of pressure. They’re also created with 3D Flexpoint Technology, exclusive to the Predator Flex model, which makes for a comfortable fit. 

These goggles are particularly well-suited for triathletes who train outdoors in open water. They’re designed with UV protection and polarised lenses to shield the eyes from harm caused by natural light and glare coming off the water. Plus, they’ve got anti-fog properties to keep your view clear. 

dhb Hydron Wetsuit 2.0 £120 £75

"dhb

This discount has to be one of the most exciting early Black Friday triathlon deals on offer, with more than 35% off the original price. It’s dhb’s most popular wetsuit, and triathletes love it for its flexibility and buoyancy. In fact, we gave it a score of 87% when we reviewed it recently (read our dhb Hydron review here). 

To maximise comfort and provide stretch in the right places, the thickness of the neoprene fabric varies across the wetsuit. The material is 2mm deep across the back and arms, increasing to 2.5mm on the thighs and 3mm through the torso and hips. 

The zip on the back is easily accessible, making transition quick and simple. 

Blueseventy Thermal Swim Gloves £37.50 £29

"blueseventy

Here’s an opportunity to pick up a great pair of thermal swimming gloves for a fraction of their usual price. These are made with 2mm-thick neoprene finished with a metal cell liner, a thin silver layer of the same fabric designed to limit the gloves’ water absorption and retain heat. 

One of the best aspects of these thermal swim gloves is their long cuffs, which makes it easy to tuck them into your wetsuit for protection against the elements.

ZCCO Unisex 3mm Neoprene Diving Socks £30.41 £9.12

"ZCCO

With a massive 70% discount, these neoprene diving socks are worth a look as we approach Black Friday. They’re a versatile set, suitable for both men and women, as well as for use in a range of different activities, including swimming, surfing and scuba diving. 

Choose these socks for their 3mm-thick neoprene and nylon construction, giving you vital extra warmth. They’re also breathable, flexible and quick-drying for added convenience. 

COROS PACE 2 Premium GPS Sport Watch – Various discounts

"COROS

If you’re after a wearable fitness tracker, the Coros Pace 2 is a great option (read our Coros Pace 2 review here). With a weight of just 29g, it launched as the lightest GPS watch on the market, so you can almost forget you’re wearing it. 

This model is also water resistant in depths of up to 50m and has outstanding battery life; it’ll last for 20 days with regular use. Plus, there’s a handy night mode, so you can continue using the watch during early-morning and late-night sports sessions. 

You can also make use of the various free triathlon training programmes developed by the brand’s own coaches. 

Nike Boys Hydrastrong Solid Jammer Swim Shorts £18 £14

"Nike

On top of the many Black Friday triathlon deals for adults, there are plenty of great discounts for young, budding athletes too. 

These chlorine-resistant jammer swim shorts are a versatile staple to keep in any boy’s wardrobe. They have a close fit for streamlined movement through the water, as well as an adjustable drawstring waist to provide a comfortable fit. 

The shorts are available in a selection of sizes for boys between six and 16 years old.
