Subject: RE: Sleeved vs Sleeveless There is another thread up on this, but I will repeat, the reason for sleeved suits is they if they are tight fitting they tend to test as faster (more aerodynamic ) than their sleeveless counterparts. You have to have tight fitting sleeved suits. If they are not tight enough they may be slower than a comparable sleeveless.
I have been to the wind tunnel and tested these suits. I have also worn them up for the swim with the zipper down, the zipper up. Although I am obligated to wear my ChampSys Apex suit, I personally like the Louis Garneau M:2. It was designed with aerodynamics in mind, but also with mobility, so even though it is tight you don't feel restricted. It has ColdBlack which helps you feel cool and is readily available too. It also seem to holds it shape better than other suits which tend to balloon out after use.
This is the LG M:2 I am talking about: http://amzn.to/22reJ6a
