this issue was sort of brought up in another thread. has anybody ever wore a speedo fastskin swim skin overa tri top and tri bottom? is it easy to get off like a wetsuit? i have a race coming up in 4 weeks and i'm trying to get it nailed down.

your time savings in the water will be less than the time it takes to get it off. You could just wear the fastskin and skip the tri stuff.

Yes, I have. I had both top and bottoms on underneath. I used it for a half-iron race. I have one with the zipper on the back. The one thing I had to do was to build a strap to be able to unzip it faster upon exiting the water. I used gift wrapping ribbon for the strap, I doubled it up so it would be sturdy enough. I had no problem getting out of it.
