I actually have a tri-related question for Nibbs... just trying to keep the thread legit (hahaha) Okay, ordered neoprene tights and vest ... had tri coach check out vest and his opinion is I should return it and get smaller and jacket, not vest (why couldn't he have suggested jacket when I asked his opinion before ordering My options (this is where I need input)... 1.) straight cut or fitted (worried that straight cut will cause chaffing if arm holes still too big, worried that fitted will not give enough movement The size large vest that i ordered does fit snug across the chest and pretty snug at waist (don't think I'd have to worry about water entering through waist area. So maybe I go fitted in the large. If I go smaller and it's smaller in the waist too I'm worried that it might ride up and then I WILL have to worry about water at the waist. Oh the dilema of it all.... and to make it worse i'm such an indecisive person. HELP!!!!!!!!!!! I wish I could help - I don't even own a wetsuit - you don't exactly need them in Nebraska

). Well, must agree armholes are too big, but worried about fitting across boobs (I hate genetic traits) if I go smaller.

Hehehe... I hear ya... one time I wish I was still in La... of course I KNOW there is NO way I could do an open water swim in any water with suspects of water mocassins and alligators... I still wonder what ever made us want to ski and hydroslide in that stuff... UGH |

Pro 4507 Simpsonville, SC | Subject: RE: Challenge Chat (aka Nibbs XVI) - come join us :) Is this the DeSoto two-piece stuff? In my limited wetsuit experience, smaller is better. I have swam in borrowed wetsuits. Of course, my friends are all tiny compared to me, so I have borrowed their husbands' stuff. The chafing and drag I experienced were much worse than cool water temps. I have a one-piece full wetsuit that I have worn for the first time this week in the pool. It is constrictive around the neck, but if you are doing two pieces, you shouldn't have that problem. It is a woman's large. You want that sucker tight. Triathlon wetsuits are designed to give you full motion of your arms and shoulders even though the chest is snug. You will be wearing a tri top and sportsbra underneath. Make sure you have the kind of sportsbra that gives you the monoboob and you should be fine. Are the tights bibs? If they are, you won't have a problem of the waist riding up. The bib should give you some leeway. |

I think your coach might be onto something with the long sleeves because then the compensations you have to make fr the vest will not be relevant as full legnth arms will remove the issue of water getting in around the arms... So maybe you could get the same cut as the current sleeveless but with sleeves? |

LOL I know what she means, but I laughed at this line anyway.  Yes Nibbs, it's 10 PM, and I'm home. No, I didn't work out today. But I think that most of the craziness at work will be calming down soon. Maybe in a few days, I'll be able to hit the gym again! (I'm sure the cockroaches at the pool have missed me. Or maybe not. ) |

I was kind of starting to think that as I was typing (sometimes you've got to hear yourself say it to make sense of it all) And , correct me if you think different, I'm thinkin' that I'll stick with the same size.... I would hate to end up with a zipper splitting b/c I'm too big for it, ugh, the embarassment of it all. The size I got does fit everywhere except the armholes.

Well if anything goes you KNOW it will be the zip! I would stick with the same size... as you said its pretty tight and fits except the armholes... long sleeves... no arm hole issues! Its a winning situation |

The bib should give you some leeway. No, though I am definitely interested in exploring the DeSoto wear when I have more money. This stuff is from H2OWear. It's not really necessarily meant for Tri's, it's not rubber, it's just neoprene. I'm only going to end up spending $160 total if I upgrade to the jacket vs. $130 just for one piece (and I think that was the DeSoto clearance). The pants aren't bibs but they do come all the way up to true waist (not just the top of the pelvis - which most people mistaken as their waist). |
