Monty's T1 wetsuit deal
Quote | Reply
Fellow Slowtwitchers,

Feeling the need for a nice new wetsuit to encourage me to get into the cold Pacific Ocean for some badly needed open water swimming, I decided to check Mark Mongomery's (aka Monty) wetsuit trade in program that's been mentioned in some other threads on Slowtwitch. He promptly replied to my emails and a deal was soon struck. Last Monday I sent my suit and a check up to the mountains and Friday I had a new T1 in hand. I took it out Sunday and was very happy with the comfort of the new T1. Trading the old suit instead of stuffing it on a shelf in the garage was a plus when my wife wondered what the hell I got a new wetsuit for. I said it was such a good deal I just had to get it. If you're thinking about getting a new T1, I suggest you see what Monty can do for you. email: montyman007@hotmail.com

does the trade-in have to be a desoto suit?

how does he handle fit, did you send a bunch of measurements to make sure you got the right suit? I drove 180 miles roundtrip to buy my first two wetsuits and was glad i did since they fit well and received great service. but the closest desoto dealer is further then that?

thx,

His price straight up without trade isn't bad.

Monty told me to go over to DeSoto and try them on since I live in San Diego. With that not being possible for you, I think Monty can work out a fit with you via email.

The trade in is whatever you currently own, for a deSoto suit.


I bought my T1 from Dan (pre-Monty's deal) and he did a great job in fitting me. I asked for a size 3 and gave him my dimensions. He sent me a 4 with a note that I'd die in a 3. He was right. I'd imagine that Monty's fit skills are just as good.

Although the trade in is a great deal, I his price for a T1 isnt really any better than direct from the factory. I think $4 less. But then again you do get to trade in your wetsuit.

true story...i emailed monty that i was interested in a tres, with my old IM suit as a trade-in. i tell him it seems like i'll need a size 3 and i ask him what he thinks. he asks me what my body type is so i tell him i'm 5'9" and that i have a short torso and longish legs. he tells me maybe i need a 4 then and that maybe i could send him a picture so that he could make sure. and at the end of this last email he says he needs to get a look at this long-legged girl from Philippines (i've already told him at this point that i live in Manila). so i send him a picture of me runnning in my skinsuit...

wonder what he though of the bulge in my crotch, 'coz he never did try to flirt with me again!

got the size 4 and love it!

That's right, four bucks less than Desoto and he pays the shipping.
