Wet Suit help

Plates365.com

Hey guys,

I am planning on doing a sprint triathlon shortly. I am looking for a budget wetsuit for my initial triathlon. I was considering buying a summer wet suit in the sub £100 price bracket here: http://www.wetsuitcentre.co.uk/mens_summer_wetsuits

Would that do the trick?

Any advice greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

Hi there,

I'm considering taking the plunge and doing my first tri.
Could anyone recommend a basic entry level wetsuit - is it possible to get one for €100 or so?

Thanks,
SS.

If you plan to do further triathlons don't waste your money on a surfing wetsuit. Buy a triathlon/swim wetsuit. If just plan to do one triathlon to see what its like why not rent the wetsuit for the event. A few shops in Ireland rent swim wetsuits e.g. http://www.cyclesuperstore.ie/shop/pc/viewPrd.asp?idcategory=75&idproduct=4471

I'm not sure if it's still the case but CSS used to rent brand new wet suits for the season. You paid the full cost up front and got €200 back on return (of a €300 wetsuit), if you liked the fit and wanted to stick at the sport you could just hang on to the suit at the end of the season.

I'm thinking of renting a suit for the rest of the year as i'm losing weight and i don't want to buy one and that for it to be too big for me last in the year and of no use...................any thoughts ?

Just to say i hope to have 6 to 8 cm off my chest/belly by sept

If you are extra small... http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=60035

Otherwise keep your eye on CRC. Their prices seem to fluctuate.
