    For swimming in… there’s a lot of sales on at the moment and I love the feel of neoprene next to my skin.

    That’s one hell of a Dirty Sanchez. Not sure what it’s got to do with a wetsuit though?

    Try here http://ewetsuits.com/acatalog/wetsuits-1.html#a645.

    I am a big fan or O’Neill wetsuits though.

    Go try some on, there will be something that fits you better than others at the same/similar price point. TFN are excellent and match wiggle prices (as long as your size is in stock)

    SBZ – I’m loving the skin coloured one 😯

    Was looking on TFN’s website. Maybe a trip to Nottingham is worthwhile.

    swimming wetsuits are apparently a lot different to surfing wetsuits.

    Enough to justify a massive price hike…

    SBZ – I’ll even wear a pair of boardies over it to complete the look.

    I’ll look better than that dude above.

    Try loads on and then buy the one that fits snuggest without being constrictive, irrespective of price, colour, brand or any other consideration. Get a suit that fits properly and you will love it until you wear it out. That’s priceless.

    Surfing (normal) and triathlon/swimming wetsuits are very different. I wouldn’t want to surf much in a swimming one as they can catch and rip more easily.

    O’Neil, Rip Curl and Snugg are very good in my opinion. Try it on first, back length fitting is key.

    It’s a Tri suit I’m after. I’m set to be hungover as hell tomorrow so I’ll be nice to the Mrs and see if she’ll drive. Chances of 2011 stuff being discounted further after Xmas?

    Christ finbar… they’re not cheap!

    Yeah, cost about as much as my bike! It’s well worth it though. Only the same as an upper end off the shelf suit from Foor/2XU/Orca etc.

    At the cheaper end i’d definitely second the advice above about going to TFN and trying some on.

    The best time to buy is autumn when you can get some good deals on ex-rental ones, there might be some left still.
