There is a noticeable difference in quality with these kits. Most other kits are very similar material but Real has made it a priority to get some of the best material out there. They are a small company but man do they care a lot about their customers experience and fit with their kits. Chance is a fantastic guy and will go out of his way to make sure you get what you pay for. I raced in the Tri kit for 2 full Ironmans and 2 70.3 this year and had 0 issues with chafing anywhere. Also raced in the cycling kit for a 100 mile MTB brutal course and again came up with no issues. The pad is great too. Highly recommend these kits.
