    So it's time for a new wetsuit, Strangely I seem to have seem to have grown out of my wetsuit since last year. It's gotten rather tight around the core and back and starting to develop more holes every week, only so much blackwitch one can used before finally deciding to retire the old boy....

    Ummm, this should be interesting. So, wetsuit brands on offer, salfish, TYR, Zoot, 2XU, orca and blueseventy. All the choices,,

    Have a Orca Equipe at the moment and I wouldn't have a problem getting another one as it has served me well but I want to hear other's opinions of there experience with other brands first...

    So what do you swim in? What's your favourite out of different brands you have tried? Budget 200 max folks...

    PS is there anywhere in the west that facilitates wetsuit trailing in a pool or otherwise before buying?

    ..............

    I got a new wetsuit a couple of weeks ago in Base2race in Dublin.
    They have a flume pool there where you can test the wetsuits before you purchase.
    I tried on three and had a swim in each in the pool, it makes a huge difference, what felt fine when I tried it on was way too big when I swam in it.
    The guys there are really helpful and nice.
    I got a Sailfish suit and it's been going great so far! :D
    They do TYR and sailfish there.
