I currently have a 5 year old QR Super Full, which has worked very well for me...Two IM's,10 halves and a bunch of other races. (Oh, and one Halloween Party...but that's another story.)
After using it everyday this last week in Lake Placid...I noticed it's getting torn up and funky. It already has several patches.
So, I guess I'm shopping.
Here is the question:
What do YOU use for a wetsuit and why?
No "This guy I know,knows this guy who..." stories.
I'm looking for first hand opinions.

Thanks!

Why not go with what you know and get another SuperFull? I have a HydroFull that I like a lot.

I just got a 2XU Elite fullsuit and tried it out this weekend in the ocean for the first time. It took me awhile to get a triathlon specific suit because I had a surfing wetsuit and didn't think it would make that much of a difference. At any rate, for the first time I swam faster than my training partner on our mile training swim. The last mile swim we did I ended up finishing about 100-200 yards behind, this time I was a few body lengths in front. The suit feels good and I think it looks good too. I'm looking forward to see how it affects my race time in 3 weeks.

Good luck.
