Any place with 2 - 3 wetsuit options, within a 90 minute - 2 hour drive from West Columbia?
Extra mile in Columbia, on Devine Street. Right next door to Outspokin Bikes, which is a great store. Directions:http://www.outspokinbicycles.com/Directions.asp
Or…you could come to Charleston, 2 hours away, where you can compare 2 stores. Charleston Bicycle Company, home of J & J Tri store, and Trysports in Mt. Pleasant.
Or…you could call Al, who will have a booth at this weekend’s Lake Murray Sprint (Lake Murray is IN West Columbia–ya don’t even HAVE to drive 90 minutes!). He has wetsuits from about 3 different manufacturers and good prices. You could call him and make sure he brings your size.

Call de Soto, they reportedly have great service. In some cases they’ve been reported to send two tops and two bottoms and you send back the ones that don’t fit. Remember, you can save by getting the TRES, or Tres bottom and T1 top.
