Hey all you Tri-Animals,

I have a race coming up that is going to require a wetsuit, I have thought about just renting one because I MIGHT use it one more time later this year.

But I noticed that a USAT sponser, wetsuit rental seems easy enough. Has anybody tried them? Anbody with input is always welcome. Thanks! Vickie

I rented a wetsuit through Active.com last year and everything was great. I gave them my height and weight and they sent me a suit that fit pretty good. I actually got it 2 weeks before my race so I was able to try it out and get used to it. You can buy the suit if you like it but I sent mine back thinking that I would just rent. I ended up finding a really good deal at TriSports.com around Christmas bought one then.

I think renting is the way to go if you want to find out if you like sleeves or sleeveless. I didn't get to pick the brand of wetsuit but I'm sure there is a way to try out a couple.

Good Luck

Thanks for the reply John, I think I found a place locally to rent from, so I will be able to try it on. ;0
