what a tough swim 25k
comfort is important
I imagine swimmers would be warmer in a B70 since it holds heat
all depends on water temp
I think the PRO is faster than the FS II
tell us more details about your race
plus what the lake, winds and waves were like
Ande, thank you. Only a couple of people wore the B70. The number #2 finisher had one on but he had some rough chafing going on. I opted for a FSII - comfort over buoyancy. I think I made the right choice as my core was fine for the entire swim. One tiny chafe mark. I was pretty cool temp-wise in a silver one. I heard that once your core goes, you are toast! Hence, the great thing about the B70. But, our coach makes us do hundreds of crunches, so no worries.
