What do you all think? I'm looking for a suit to use for open water swimming in Central FL, temperate to warm temp waters. I've looked at a trisuit (Orca), a shorty, and a John. Any opinions??
Thanks,
Herman
Training or racing?
For training most any suit will do, go for durability.
For racing in a swimsuit there are a number of “competition” suits that have been discussed at length on other forum threads. A good pool competition suit works well in open water.
If you are asking about racing wetsuits, then I’d suggest full body. Maximum buoyancy. And always try before you buy with wetsuits; breathing room and range of motion are key selection factors.
