Swimsuit for open water

Hello all. What kind of suit is good for open water? I searched and found few topics about but it didn't clear much. Is it like sailing suit or trisuit? Or wetsuit like divers have? I doubt that regular race suit with long legs help to keep body warm. I googled some suits also but I didn't find suits just for open water swim. Except blueseventy homepages but suit was too expensive.

  • Whether they keep you warm (enough for you) depends on water you are swimming in and your acclimation. I swim OW fine in my pool workout suit. Otherwise, search by Google for suits worn by triathletes. Well I don't think that regular pool suit will keep body warm. Water temperature isn't nearly same as pool. So is there wet suits designed for open water?
