I bought a 2XU C2 from Wiggle earlier in the year as it seemed good value. Used it a couple of times in OW and can honestly say I cannot fault it. Being a surfer it was a shock to feel the difference between swimming in a surf suit and a Tri suit.
I wasn't too sure about the colour but the grey'ish colour makes you more visible to spectators in the sea of black. Strangely the green stripes on the arm was also useful in murky water as you could see how well you were lengthening your stroke etc.
I have a C:1 which is the one step up from that, and the E:1, which is the one step up from that. I had to get the E:1 because I lost so much weight I was too small for the C:1.
I really like both of them as a suit, they fit nice and snugg and seem to be pretty fast.
I am selling the C:1 btw - used 2 times in lake but due to size letting in too much water. Size medium tall, let me know if you are interested Gary.

All in all I would recommend this suit
