Hi
I am training for my first tri, a sprint one at Blenheim and am looking at renting a wetsuit with a view to purchasing it at the end of the season. The choice seems to be between a 2XU T:0 or the Speedo STR1.5. Which one in your view should I go for?

Wetsuit fit is an oft bemoaned at topic and the sizing charts have about as much credibility as an an MPs expenses claim.
My wetsuit fits very nicely but according to Orca, I am an extra 4" (or was that 6"?) in height and weigh an extra 7 kgs. The first one I tried on, which according to their sizing chart should have been a perfect fit, had me doubled over with the zip refusing to move past the bottom of my shoulder blades.
3 magic words when it comes to wetsuits.
If the place you are gonig to hire from is to far away to try it on then pop to a more local wetsuit stockist and try it on there. Once you have the size of the suit you want!!! Voila you hire from the interweb!
