I am brand new to Victoria - and to triathlon - and have been trying quite hard to find a wetsuit rental for the upcoming Sooke race - obviously to no avail. Does anyone know of a place that rents wetsuits in Vic?

Sorry there is no where that I know of in town that rents out wetsuits.  Maybe you would have better luck looking in Vancouver.  I would call around to a few Vancouver running stores and bike shops and ask then if they know anyone in van that rents them.  Maybe email a few Vancouver tri clubs.  If anyone is going to know if there is a place it would be those groups of people.

First - welcome to Victoria and to BT!

I also do not know of any wetsuit rental places here ... try contacting a few triathlon clubs - Human Powered Racing, Island Tri, etc - they might know. But most people out here seem to have their own suits.

Perhaps "Used Victoria" or something similar?!

Hi CeeCee,

Thanks for the response. Last I wore a wetsuit, I wore a woman's medium. I supose, ultimately, it depends on sizing charts and specific makes, but by my best guess I would take a medium.

Were you able to locate a wetsuit? How was the triathlon?

( Is it obvious that I am living vicariously through the race reports posted by others...?? Innocent
