    Got to go with the full suit (holds the belly in better)!

    I use a full tri suit - but it's far easier to pi55 in tri top and shorts.

    tri top and shorts due to ease of doing multiple loo dashes pre comp - the unspoken 5th discipline of triathlon

    depends on the distance - a springt or olympic i would go for a 1 piece, any bigger where you will have pit stops (!) i go for a 2 piece

    tri shorts padding not quite so thick and dry faster more comfortable to run in

    Onepiece, just dont put it over the shoulders till just before the wetsuit goes on. Nothing worse then trying to squirm out of it in the portaloo for a last minute whiz.

    Onepiece seems best option for me - but make sure it fits properly otherwise you will be swinging away after the swim ...
