Best Labor Day Deals on Swim Gear

Blueseventy Helix

This high-end wetsuit delivers premium race-day performance with features like a seamless shoulder design (allowing for maximum flexibility and full range of motion) and improved paneling across the back (to aid your natural rotation and allow you to swim farther with each stroke). In addition to the Helix, Blueseventy is hosting a site-wide end-of-summer sale through the weekend with 20% off wetsuits, swimskins, and accessories.

TYR Special Ops 3.0 Polarized Goggles

These goggles provide a wide peripheral view and polarized lenses, making them great for open water training and racing. Their anti-fog coating helps you sight, while the non-mirrored lens is best for cloudier days and lower light.

Arena Cobra Ultra Swipe Goggle

These goggles earned five stars in our review of the best 2026 goggles for triathletes. Testers praised them for their antifog technology (which was called “borderline magical”), and the strap placement allowed for a more flush fit than other designs. Their lens shape, soft gaskets, and nosepiece options earned them a perfect score in the comfort category.

 

Best Labor Day Deals on Bike Gear

Thule Roundtrip Road Bike Travel Case

In Triathlete’s own head-to-head bike case review, our tester was impressed by the ingeniously integrated three-legged bike stand that makes for easy and fast packing. He was able to have his bike loaded in 20 minutes! The hard-shell case protects your precious tri bike, and there’s plenty of room to fit a wetsuit, running shoes, and other gear. Even if you’re not in need of a bike case, all Thule racks, roof boxes, and accessories are 20% off at REI through the weekend.

Shimano S-Phyre RC903 Cycling Shoes

Yes, we know the price is steep, but these premium shoes, which are made specifically for triathletes, have earned our top pick of cycling shoes multiple years in a row. They are so well-made, one reviewer said that they will “likely outlast your own triathlon career.” This weekend, all Shimano shoes and pedals are 25% off at REI through the weekend.

Niterider Swift 450 Headlight and Vmax+ 180 Taillight Set

Fall is coming, and the days will be shorter before you know it, which means sometimes riding in low light. Take advantage of the Labor Day weekend sales to get a pair of cycling lights, like this pair from lighting industry veteran Niterider. Between the lightweight headlight and the high-vis flashing taillight, you’ll stay visible when you ride after sunset.

POC Ventral Air Mips Helmet

If you’re looking for better airflow on your rides, look no further than this POC Ventral Air helmet. In addition to the aerodynamic shaping triathletes are looking for, it has a unique airflow design to keep your head cool. The integrated Mips system adds an additional safety feature.
