So I jumped on the crazy good price a few months ago for the Xterra Vendetta full suit, based mostly on this article I read: http://triathlon.competitor.com/...rformance-test_80667
Based on the article and my swimming, it looked like the Vendetta was the best suit for me. I just got an email today saying that it is backordered.... TIL JULY. Since Wildflower and CDA are before that... kind of a no go.
The next on the list for me would be the TYR Cat 3, but all I see on here when I use the search function is terrible reviews of durability and customer service, ie. seams splitting on 2-3 uses.
So my question is - how much of an negative effect would going with the sleeveless version have compared to the full suit - and would I be better going to a completely different full suit (ie. Zoot Fusion), or staying with Xterra?
Thanks for the help!

Your speed matters a lot, sometimes you need to be very fast, where sometimes you need to breakdown your speed.
