I notice on the London Tri site they have Orca speedsuits for hire for the whole year at 50quid
Is this a decent deal? is it worth buying one regardless
I plan to do 2 triathlons this year one sprint and one olympic (london) - then more next year...

Tri UK in Yeovil hire for £35.49 (including postage) for the year (+£100 refundable deposit). They also sell ex hire suits. They have a website, check it out:

If you ever get a chance to go there you'll be like a kid in a sweet shop. I picked up my wetsuit in the sales there for 50% off. They were very helpful.

I've noticed on few of these sites they also advertise "body glide" any good?
some on the back of your neck to stop the suit rubbing, and some on your wrists and ankles to help you get the suit off quickly. on the outside too, so it slips over your heels as it turns inside-out.
if you're going to buy a suit make sure you try it on first. it's important to get one that fits properly.
happy lubing!
he's loads to choose from and i can reccommend him

ref: triuk : the refunfable deposit is actually you "buying" the wetsuit. You get the refund if you return it, without (their decision) scratches, holes, marks etc. That said, the HQ1 rent appears to be a total of £75 inc deposit at the moment, and that wetsuit doesn;t appear to be on sale so maybe their rental business model has changed this year? The endless pool for trying the suit out in was (last year) only available if you were BUYING not "RENTING". A very decent bunch there though - I don't mean to sound negative.
