not sure if this is an item that's generally up for hire...

 

they are easy to tear, difficult to find your fit and 90% of people will pee in it during the course of a 1.9km swim...  not something that I'd consider renting

I can rent you one, Aquashere Ironman, ML, used once.

 

Once off payment of R2500 and you can keep it afterwards. Paid R4500 new for it.

I would suggest you swim a few times in the wet suite before the race.Blue smooth and x terra both have rental suites as far as I know.

Call Terry (Xterra SA) on 079 482 4658

 

He's awesome, he's situated in Cape Town but will courier the item to you. I was not sure of my size the first time and he sent me two to try on and charged for one rental. I think he has/had a system that if you liked the suit and wanted to buy it, he'd take the rental off the purchase price. He paid for shipping both delivery and collection and arranged to have the wet suits collected when it was convenient for me.

 

Both suits he sent me were brand new BTW

 

I cannot sing this guy and his company's praises enough, they are the bomb!

In the Diving community we have a saying about that, "There are two types of divers: those that pee in their wetsuits and those that lie about it"  Having said that if you get a second hand one just soak in bicarb and you're good to go.
