Hi, I'm doing the Tatton park triathlon in the north of England in Sep. Not sure what tye of wetsuit to purchase. Will I need a full suit or will a short one do? Was thinking of buying this one:

http://www.wetsuitoutlet.co.uk/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=20&products_id=364&osCsid=b1c9dc3afd1782f96074f50604d6b9e6

Any advice much appreciated.

Thanks

Andy

I recommend Xterra.  Great fit for me and very good customer service.  A great deal on top.

ZOOT Zenith. I am sponsored by them, so keep that in mind, but the 2009 Zenith is really great. They did a complete redesign of the shoulder and back with a very this and flexible grade of neoprene that makes the suit very comfortable and it was already a fast overall design.

Rent one or two and try them out before you buy one. Wetsuits are very different between manufacturers and each will fit you differently even with the same size and weight category suit. What works for one person is the most constrictive thing on the planet for another and visa-versa.

I bought one on sale and I got lucky - but if I was going to do it again - this is what I would do.  Try a bunch of different ones.  Many of the places you rent from will put your rental $$ (or a portion thereof) towards purchase.
