    I've in the market for a swin/tri wetsuit.
    I've found a website selling a 2008 wetsuit (new) but I'm worried that it might have degraded over time.
    Would the neoprene still be OK after being stored for so long.??

    Just as a matter of interest, I was in Decathlon Belfast last week and came across wetsuits by speedo fo 38 pounds might be ok for starters not a big lay out at first.

    not that easy to answer 9 years is a long time at the same time if its yamomoto 38 and 39 it should be ok and the liner should be fine.
    so if its a super deal I would go for it and be super carful puting it on and make sure you dont get oil vaseline etc to touch it.

    i guess it depends how often you plan to use it . if its 5 -6 times a year great
    if once or twice a week than not.
