Our Gear Library
The Gear Library is our way of making triathlon accessible, affordable, and downright exciting for every woman who walks through our doors. It’s a community-powered collection of reasonable quality gear — from wetsuits and road bikes to wind trainers and multisport watches — that club members can borrow for up to three months while they find their feet. Whether someone is gearing up for their first ocean swim or levelling up for a new challenge, the Gear Library removes the financial barriers and replaces them with confidence, support, and opportunity. It’s grassroots empowerment in action, and one of the many ways the Twisted Sisters Club invests in women so they can chase big goals with the right tools behind them.
All items in our Gear Library are free to borrow. But due to the value of some items, we do require a bond. The bond is fully refunded when the item is returned in the same condition it was loaned out in. No surprises, no hidden costs — just a simple way to make sure our shared equipment stays in great shape for the next Sister who needs it.
Club Bikes
The Gear Library currently includes a large range of road bikes in multiple sizes, giving members plenty of options to find a suitable bike. Most are equipped with standard road tyres and flat pedals, making them easy and confidence‑friendly for new and returning riders alike. They are supplied with a tool kit, spare tube, levers and a pump. All you will need is a helmet.

Wetsuits
The Gear Library stocks a wide selection of wetsuits in a variety of cuts and sizes, making it easy for members to find a comfortable fit for their body type and swimming goals. Whether someone is brand new to open‑water swimming or gearing up for a big event, there’s a suit ready to help them feel warm, confident, and supported in the water.
Wind Trainers
Curious about trying a virtual cycling platform like Zwift or TrainingPeaks Virtual? The Gear Library has basic wheel‑on trainers available so you can give it a go from home and join our weekly virtual club rides. It’s an easy, low‑cost way to dip your toes into the world of indoor cycling and stay connected with the Sisters, no matter the weather.
GPS Watches
GPS Watches
A good GPS watch can make training feel easier, safer, and a whole lot more fun — but they’re also expensive, and not everyone wants to invest before they know what they like. That’s why the Twisted Sisters Gear Library includes a small collection of Garmin watches available for members to borrow for up to three months, free of charge.
Our GPS watches are perfect for:
- Tracking open‑water swims, pool sessions, runs, rides, and strength workouts
- Monitoring heart rate, pace, distance, elevation, and recovery
- Building confidence with structured training sessions
- Learning what features you actually use before buying your own
Whether you’re training for your first triathlon, returning from a break, or just curious about what all the buttons do, borrowing a watch is a great way to explore without the price tag.
Club Shirts
Representing Twisted Sisters out on the course is something we love to see — and we’re proud to help make that happen.
Our Club Shirt Loan option lets members borrow an official Twisted Sisters race shirt for the day of their event. Whether you’re lining up for your first 5 km, tackling a triathlon, or taking on an ultra, wearing the club colours connects you to the sisterhood cheering you on.
Important details:
- Shirts are day‑use only and must be returned after your race
- Unlike other Gear Library items, club shirts cannot be borrowed for the 3‑month period
- Available to financial club members
- A quick loan form is required so we can track sizes and returns
This option is perfect for members who want to proudly fly the flag without purchasing a shirt — especially for one‑off events or milestone races.
If you’d like to borrow a shirt for an upcoming event, just get in touch and we’ll sort you out with the right size and style.
