Kiwami, for sure. Andre has a few different price ranges depending on what kind of suit you need.

I have a BlueSeventy TX3000 and I love it. Fit's like a glove and feels great on swim, bike, and run. I got mine over the winter for ~$130 I think (can't remember the vendor).

I have an Orca that i bought new on ebay. I think I paid approx $120 or so. It is my only wetsuit experience but to me it works very well. I float, I stay warm, it comes off, it hasn't ripped after several years.

I really like my de soto forza use it all the time, has a buncha pockets that don't make drag, fits well and soooo aero lol. One of the best things I've gotten. Polly more aero suits out there like castelli but it's probably not substantial or worth the extra money. I got a late model forza off the de soto site for about 120ish don't remember exactly worth every penny. Haven't tried the itu one but i bet everything they make is worth pretty much

Truth.

"Andre, I'm sending you something. Will be there Monday. Can you have it printed and back to me by Wednesday?"

"No problem..."

Why do you want a back zipper on a tri suit? Tim

Back zips are way better in all regards, IMO. Way less likely to get nipple chaffing. Looks much nicer (honestly, no one wants to see your chest). And is more aero on the bike (all other things equal).

The question I always wonder is why WOULDN'T you want a back zip...

For all practical purposes I think back zippers on tri suits are nuts. I think your opinion is paid for by sponsors and not a every day reality for age groupers. Tim

For all practical purposes, I'm a decent age grouper and I love zippers in the back of trisuits. By the way, I'm not paid by anyone to say that.

Meh. I've tried rear zip suits. Hate them.
Front zips are better to move in for me.
Now, I'm experimenting with sleeves. I've always liked sleeves.
Now, to find one that fits.

Last I knew Rapp does not have a clothing sponsor..... I think you'd better think and research a bit before you talk. I love rear zip one piece as well.

Just to make sure I dive on top of this pile-on...


Anytime I bike in a wet trisuit with a front zipper, I can feel air gusting in and puffing it out at my chest. It feels like I'm wearing a parachute. I'm a huge fan of backzips.
