Go and try on a bunch and see what fits you best. Best fit = fastest (obviously think about flexibility, etc). Really trying them on though is the only way you'll know whats best for you

 

Try looking at Multisport basement, Tribe Multisport, Troisport

He'll send it to you via courier wherever you are in the country. I rented one for my first Bela Bela and because I wasn't sure what size I was he sent two and had them both collected after. His offer also includes buying the one you rent if you like it.

 

Service is awesome...

what he said.

make sure to take one that fits well. I have an entry level wetsuit (orca S3 or something) that fits great and it significantly improves my open water swim times. A friend has a much more expensive one but a bit on the tight side, and his wetsuit slows him down and his arms even start to tingle after a long swim. I know there is more at play here than only the wetsuit, but make sure it fits!

I know this may be no help to you as this is in CPT, but nonetheless, you never know....

The custom make at about R2500, which is cheap compared to what is on the market and it will fit perfectly.

 

You can decided on different thickness material on different parts of the body, so if you not phased about your legs getting cold, then go for a 2mm for easy on and off etc, or 4mm on the chest to keep core warm and so on.

 

My wife bought one a few weeks back, they measured her up on a Saturday, that Tuesday she went in for fitting where they checked lengths of arms/legs and any excess material and a few days later collected.

 

All in all a painless and cheap experience for a custom suit, if you are in CPT that is or travel here regularly.

 

Just my 2c.
