 10 |  Subject: Wetsuit OptionsI am new to triathlon but an getting ready for my first sprint. I am looking to two potential wetsuits and was wondering if people could provide any insight. Option 1: Xterra Vector Pro Fullsuit Wetsuit Option 2: 2012 Ironman Aquasphere Icon Option 3: do you have an affordable suggestion for a beginner who will compete only two or three times a year. Thanks for any advice. Brad |

Xterra always seems to run the same special where you get their suits at 55% off using the discount code. Just click on the banner on the BT website. |

Plus several OWS practices. I got it off of Amazon for about $240. It's true to its sizing chart as well. |

ditto on the Vector Pro Full. With the BT code, their suits are incredibly affordable, and I have found mine to fit and perform very well. As long as I pay attention to how I put it on, the arms move great and I do not ever get suit rash on my neck. I've been considering adding a sleeveless for those warmer wetsuit legal swims. |

Master 1890 Cypress, CA | Subject: RE: Wetsuit Options Two thoughts: 1. What's the water temp? Do you really need a wetsuit at all? 2. If yiou're not sure you're going to continue in triathlon, you might want to consider renting for your first race |
