I have been at the site where wetsuits are available for rental, but for the life of me, I can't find how long we can rent them for? and should I just buy a hood and boots? I am going to start swimming in our lake, which is about 55 degrees. Thanks!

Not sure what site, but I'd think a quick phone call or email to them would get you an answer...

I've only ever rented from www.wetsuitrental.com (and at a shop in NYC). WSR just wants the suit mailed back "some time the week after the race." Sooner is probably better, though. I would say mail it back within the first couple of days afterwards.

I thought the rule was if you pee in it, you buy it.

Thanks - I don't have a race yet, but I wanted to try it in the cold lake for a week or so. Do you think that would be OK? Thanks,

The only racers that don't pee in their suits are novices, well and some others that are willing to wait in line at the port-a-johns.  Pool racers don't generally need wetsuits, so they don't pee in the pool before a race.

that's disgusting... I'm buying one this week instead of renting it, yuk!!  Don't you go pee before you swim, geez!

Well, you have to call around and find out.

I know Tri Sports (www.trisports.com) expects the wetsuit back a week after the race. You have to mail it back 2 days afterwards.

What's nice though, is that your rental fee of $65 goes towards you buying something from them in the next 30 days... so if you need nutrition, an outfit, etc. you basically get a free wetsuit rental.
