RBM doesn't have them...anyone know where I can go to try on and purchase a selection of swimskins/speedsuits in the DFW area?

Sadly I don't know anywhere really...I ordered a DeSoto one and luckily it fit. Well I say luckily, I got my measurements and compared them to their sizing chart and read a ton of reviews saying whether or not the sizes ran small / large. Most places will just carry tri shorts and tri tops...not so much on the tri suits.

I've looked all over as well, and haven't been able to find any. Because of my build (6'3" - 190 lbs.) I was afraid if I bought one on-line without being able to try it on that I'd end up just having to send it back because it would either fit me length-wise, or in the waist, but likely not in both based on all the charts...I finally went with a 2-piece tri suit off eBay where I could mix/match sizes of tops and bottoms.

I can tell you that if you start looking for wetsuits that Dick's Sporting Goods (at least the one in Frisco) has a pretty good selection at about the most reasonable prices for the quality. I'm a newbie, and while I have three races planned for the year, all of my swims are in a pool, so I don't have a need this year, but found them while looking for the tri-suits.

 

Good Luck!!!

I not sure where you can buy in DFW, but maybe try a store that specifically caters to competive swimmers? I know swimoutlet.com has them and they have a really great return policy. Sorry not more of help to ya. Good luck.

CK Sports can get you one.  They have some in stock.  They are also a DeSoto retailer.
