gadget Posted April 8, 2012 Share Where can I buy a good triathlon wetsuite in the Cape town area? Contact Terry from Xterra. He will arrange a fitting or a swim for you (if you are in town). Other options include Sportmans Warehouse (Orca), www.fluidlines.co.za (Orca) and www.capemulti.co.za (various). From his website: Terry Gillespie can be contacted on XXXXXXXXX or terry@xterrawetsuits.co.za for pricing and ordering details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheelsuck Posted April 13, 2012 Share Also try Coral the guys who make the custom stuff and agree Terry will always help, my Xterra wetsuit is a great product.Find that it really creates neutral bouyancy and with the typical triathlete disease of lazy kicking it helps.

mon-goose Posted April 16, 2012 Share I bought an orca wetsuit from the company in somerset west. Don't know if they are still there but google them. I have a quick question about wetsuits. I know wetsuits aren't made for chlorine so swimming at the gym isn't a good idea. But i need to start training with one as I've never used it before and would like to try in a pool before going open water. How bad is it for the wetsuit if I was to use it in a school pool and make sure I rinse it down properly afterwards? Any advice on wetsuits cleaning?

If it is the company next to the N2, close to the Virgin Active gym, they are called Fluidlines. Check www.fluidlines.co.za The pool at the gym "eats" through my trishorts in less than a season (7/8 months). SO I won't take my wetsuit close to chlorinated water!

Swim.Bike.Run Posted April 16, 2012 Share @Gadget - if you're going to take it to the pool a couple of times it won't be a problem.Just rinse it properly with fresh water once you're done and let it dry lying flat, out of the sun (I put it on towels on a bed for a day or so) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coral is good value for money and they give you a custom fit for your unique physique . They are quick as well, they deliver within two weeks of order.
