I don't have any specific feedback about the BlueSeventy suit but I feel like (almost) every wetsuit on the market has some "quick release ankle" feature they market. I would say either cut the ankle opening or skip the wetsuit all together for a 750m swim unless it saves you personally more time in the water.

An off comment from your question, but coconut oil is supposedly awesome as a suit lube. A jar of that and some practice could be a much cheaper option. And hey, if you don't like it, you're out 3 bucks.

Also as far as suits go, check out DeSoto's T1 line. They are all 2 piece wetsuits. I've used one for a year now, holds up great and I have the top off and bottom half stripped on the "run" to T1, they are fast.

I lube my suits with the automotive product Armour All (it's designed for car seats etc. so non-toxic & user friendly). Inexpensive too. So that keeps the suit slippery & supple.

I use Petroleum Jelly for the neck or ankles. The key to getting the ankles off fast is to get the lower leg as low down to your feet as possible before trying to extricate the suit.

Cutting the legs sounds like a great option as the benefits of the suit are in the core.

PS: My fusion is ripping at the legs now after 5 years of use. My Reaction is repaired at the base of the zipper (I should post a pix).
I have never used a Helix but wouldn't mind giving one a test. I find the Reaction a little starchy.
