Not having raced in Kona for 7 years, I need to get up to speed (sorry) on which speed suit to purchase and wear. Needs to be neck-less and not extend beyond shoulders or knees. Opinions on the best one for that race?
I will be using the speedo fastskin

Back to the speedo; speedsuits will not be allowed in Kona. http://ironman.com/faq/rulesfaq
If possible I’d wait until manufacturers come out with new models prior to Kona…
If I may, I will suggest our Amphibian trisuit. It is our #1 ITU trisuit. It has no padding, no pockets, a back zipper, is extremely light and water repellent.
We have seen many an athlete (including top pros) swimming in it in races where speedsuits were authorized.
Could very well be one of the fastest swim suit for Kona.
Andre, any chance you’ll release the padded speedo-style suit (mentioned by rapp) before kona? I need padding!
We are issuing a few MR Special Edition Amphibians with padding. Matty Reed should be racing the Rev3 IM with that suit.
What’s with the padding? Also, I had expected to have the Lazer mentioned. My perception was that it was the fastest; maybe cz Phelps wore it?
Thanks!
