Any ideas for what to wear to a 25K?
Here's what I've got so far -
Standard drag/ practice suit - provides zero lift and actually adds drag; not good for 25K; although probably most comfortable; will get the most sun exposure from this suit which is not good
FSPRO - I saw guys wear this on a 10K; however, I'm concerned about it falling apart in a 25K; Speedo claims it's good for 5 swims so I would prefer to not worry about being naked at the prom
FSII Kneeskin - Leaning towards this; provides some lift; is rather comfortable; was great for a 10K and left no skin wounds; no issues whatsoever
blueseventy - 10K? Anyone try this thing out during 10K ow swims or longer? Will I be able to stand having this thing on for 25K? I *think* it would provide the most lift by far which could be great for 6.5+ hours; it is black - I hope it's not too hot - weather could be warm or cool. . .
LZR - can't get my hands on one; expensive; seems to split open or malfunction at times; not really built for OW

My $0.02: Go with what you know works.
Comfort and reliability are more important here than a slight speed increase at the cost of possible pain/malfunction. You and your date are going to spend a long time together at the prom. The FSII sounds like you have no reason to suspect it will leave you standing alone, crying.
