My full suit died last season and I need (want) a new full suit. I'm looking for the group's thoughts and recommendations. Unfortunately there are no longer any shops in my region to go to try on a suit, so I'll have to rely on the sizing guides. As for me I'm an adult onset swimmer, slow in the water, like 27 min in my last olympic race, which I did in my old Bib-John suit. I kinda liked my old desoto T1. I did like the putting on and off, but it always felt slow.
Personally if you like the two piece style and are familiar it with then you could always just get another T1. I'm not a fan of two pieces, although I think Dan is. Relying on the sizing guides is usually pretty good way to go although there is some overlap within the brands and certain body types fit different styles sizes better. Regardless, best to purchase a suit you can try on and if it doesn't work on return it. BlueSeventy has a very generous return policy on their suits, and their top end Helix is incredibly forgiving suits but you don't need to get the top end suit either. You can always save 20% on
