Hello everyone! I'm a total beginner and I signed up for a sprint triathlon this July. I'm 5'5", 83Kg (still planning to lose weight haha), and have really stocky legs for my size.
At the moment, I would say that I have a poor swimming technique. But I'm working on it really hard.
The event recommend that newbies wetsuits use so after several days of research I've narrowed the choices to:

Orca S6
http://www.wiggle.co.uk/orca-s6-mens-wetsuit/

and

BlueSeventy Sprint
http://www.wiggle.co.uk/...ty-sprint-wetsuit-1/

Which one do you think will be a better pick? Or if you have other suggestions under USD200, that would be great!


Thanks!

My advice is get the one that fits, but regardless if you want to save 25% on BlueSeventy then here you go
Save: $50 on Speed Hound Recovery Boots | $20 on Air Relax| $100 on Normatec| 15% on Most Absorbable Magnesium

I forgot to mention that I live in the countryside in Japan so wiggle (free shipping) is actually the cheapest way I get tri-related stuff. With the coupon code, it even makes Fusion just USD225! But the shipping would be USD80 :(

But thank you very much for your input and coupon code!
