Looking for a new wetsuit and don’t want to spend more than $250. I like a full sleeve. I’m a 1:00 - 1:03 IM swimmer.
Nineteen has always been the best bang for the buck. PM “FLECK” for some good info.

IF you can wait about a month, I expect they will start being on sale and then you can get a $500 suit.

I highly suggest ProMotion. Not only are the suits a good value, but they are made in the US and thus CAN BE REPAIRED IN THE US. I broke a zipper on mine (completely my fault) and had a bear of a time finding someone to fix it. Called ProMotion and they did it for me. I didn’t want to send it across the country because of timing, but it was the only way to get it fixed. I’ve heard that DeSoto will also fix suits, so to be fair you may want to consider them as well.
I would look for a used one in good condition on ebay or in the classifieds, most ‘used’ wetsuits have only been worn once or twice. let someone else take the retail hit!
Call Desoto and see if they have any demo’s and a speed tube that may be close and a great deal

I have a new Synergy Endorphin suit which is quite nice and was well under $250.
I like ProMotion best, but you might also want to get on the XTerra mailing list, because they send out some wicked coupons every month.
I second the Promotion. I have 2 of them and they are great suits. One of them is about 5years old and still kickin good.
I really like my Blu70 reaction. Think it was 250 or 299.
Also have a nineteen pipeline sleeveless, and am a fan of the brand. I’d look into them as well. I think they have a 250ish full sleeve.
My GF just bought a Nineteen Pipeline a few weeks ago.
I’m very impressed with it, so much that I might get one too.

I am totally happy with the bottom of the line QR ultra full. Should be under $250.
Xterra Vortex 3 full suit is selling for $200.
Has anyone experienced/heard anything about the new speedo wetsuits? http://www.speedo.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Category3_10151_10202_66501_33314_-1
Xterra Vortex 3 full suit is selling for $200.
where?
If you like the two piece Desoto you can get the Black Pearl at Tri Zone for about that provided you are a USAT member for which they give you a 10% discount then if you type in “Ilovetrizone” in the promo box you get an additional 5% off. All of this with free shipping and no tax make it a phenomenal deal.

Sorry, that promo ended August 6th. You could still try the promo code to see if perhaps they have extended it.
Go to Xterra’s website and buy there. At checkout use the promo code VORT3 and it will be $160.
If you want to buy the Vortex 3 John, it will be $120 with that code.
Actually, it also looks like their suits are half price outside of that promo code and there’s no sales tax until 8/15.
So at the very least the Vortex3 should still be $199.
