Wetsuit rentals?
Hi Jason,
I rented my wetsuit from my local bike shop - Foothill Cyclery. They have a store in La Verne off the 210, which is not really that close to you but I think they have another store somewhere closer to you. You can check with some of your local bike shops to see if they know where you can rent one.
Good Luck,
Lisa

check these two websites, they will rent the suit to you and mail it to you using ups/fedex....

I've e-mailed a couple of rental places, asking if they're willing to ship up to Canada if I'll pay additional shipping (since our local tri shop is booked up for the weekend I need it). Let me know if you spot a place that'll ship rentals up here!

I went into Foothill Cyclery in La Verne yesterday and rented a wetsuit from a really helpful and encouraging guy. Unfortunately they didn't have one closer to my house, but it wasn't all that far anyways...so thanks for the tip, Lisa.

That's great. :) Yeah, I found them helpful and encouraging too. Probably because they support the local tri series and many of them tri themselves. Kindred spirits.
Are you racing this weekend? Good Luck! :)

Yeah, when I was in there, the guy at the counter, myself, and 2 other guys shopping were all triathletes, so it was a great environment. And yes, I did race this weekend-I'll be posting a race report shortly. It went really, really well.

I'm wondering if anyone has any info on how easy or difficult it is to rent a wetsuit-I'm doing my first 3 sprint races this summer, and I won't need a wetsuit for all of them, so I'd like to rent one when I need it rather than buy one...especially if I don't end up doing lots of tris after this summer/fall. I've heard people mention it, but I've looked around online and can't seem to find much info. Oh, and I'm in the Los Angeles(California) area, if that helps.
Thanks,
Jason
