Subject: Noob Wetsuit Question Hello all,
I am almost completely ignorant when it comes to open water swimming as I have only been doing triathlons since the beginning of 2016 and have yet to do an open water swim. Last year I put off buying a wetsuit and decided that this year I was going to commit and try and further my triathlon goals. The wetsuit that I had my eye on all last year was the Zoot Z Force 1.0 which is their entry level wetsuit at $200. Last week I figured I would check out their inventory (they never have size medium in stock ) and found out they were having a massive %75 percent off sale! Not surprisingly they didn't have size medium in any of the wetsuits except the most expensive one. This wetsuit ended up being the Zoot Prophet 2.0 and it was on sale for $200, the same price I was going to spend on their entry level wetsuit. Needless to say I jumped on the opportunity to get their best wetsuit dirt cheap but now my question is was that a smart decision? Is a top of the line wetsuit going to be ok for a beginner or should I have stuck with the more entry level wetsuits?
TLDR: Got the top of the line Zoot Prophet 2.0 $675 wetsuit for $200 but since I'm a swim noob should I have stuck with their entry level wetsuits? |
