Just been reading about the new suit, sounds fantastic! gain a few extra seconds in the pool sounds good to me.
Can someone clear up for me.
Is the suit Illegal due to the type of material? does triathlon follow the same rules as swimming?
I couldn't seam to see a definitive answer in the article on the home page.
cheers

Thats if you didnt take it off...
If you decided to take it off after the swim, you will waste the extra few seconds gained in the swim actually taking the damn thing off as these fit snugg as a bug in a rug.
Put it too use in Open Water events and again when will the chance come around that you have the option of not wearing a wetsuit in the UK??? probably never.... therefore you wont get the benefit here either.
Unless your racing in swim only races then all they are good for is for a little overspeed sessions in your training.
I own a Blue 70 nero swimskin...the one that got banned..... and on the label it says its good for around 15-20 swims in a pool before its ruined..... this becomes expensive if you want to train alot in them.
i would guess that it will wear out pretty quick though, just as hussler says.
just found this.
wow, you can only use the blue seventy suit 20 times! I take it, its for racing use only!
