I need to hire a wetsuit for the coming season. At the moment I have two options, A Foor Quantum from TriUK or a 2XU T:0 from PureTri.co.uk
Does anyone have any feedback on either of these. I am expecting a few for the 2XU as this is a fairly popular brand and is sold everywhere. The Foor, as far as I can tell, is only from TriUK. The Foor is also the cheaper option but then I'm not going to compromise a bit of comfort for the sake of a few quid.
Also, I know that I should probably get to a lake and try some wetsuits, but what with work commitments, it looks like that is not an option anymore. My first open water swim is middle of May, therefore need to get suit ordered pretty sharp.
I bought an ex-hire Foor Quantum last year and, other than it coming with a small repaired nick in the neoprene, I've been very happy with it. Obviously fit will vary from person to person, but it was spot on for me. [To the point where I'm looking at a Quantum 2.4 this year.]
