"Has anyone done any open-water speed comparisons between the two piece wetsuits"
it's pretty hard to do open water speed comparisons. i've spent an awful lot of time in the open water in both 2pc and 1pc suits, and the difference is in stroke rate. both types of suits swim about equivalently over 200m. the difference is in the ability to keep one's stroke rate up after, say 500m or 1000m in a 2pc.
i'll be reviewing suits within the month on slowtwitch. i really like the look of the NEW ironman suits, the first non-sheico suits they've made in years. big difference. and i like the aquamans. and of course the T1 and tres. the rest of what's out there looks like the stuff that's been made for years. but i'll give it all a closer look next month.
