I am in the market for a wetsuit and wondered what feedback anyone had on a full suit versus a sleeveless.  I will more than likely not venture out of the state in the next year for a race so was wondering how much advantage the full suit would give me.  I consider myself a fairly strong swimmer if that helps any.  Thanks!

I have a full mainly because it was not much more expensive than the sleeveless when I bought it.  I have also heard they are faster since you have more survace area on your arms when you pull.

Thanks Ken and Aaron... I was going to wait until Christmas to treat myself but they have a great deal on Xterra suits now so I thought I would look into it.  I think I will look at the sleeveless.

If you're already a strong swimmer and are only racing in Texas, go sleeveless.

Most wetsuit legal swims in Texas are in fairly warm water!
