Hey All,
been doing some research on cheapest options in women's triathlon wetsuits. So far the 2xu velocity at $350 recommended retail or the ironman wetsuits whcih are currently being discounted at the Aqua Shop in Gordon seem to be the best options...
Any ideas?

for cheap, but effective, my wife got a longjohn (sleeveless with long legs) tri wetsuit for $110- from Zsports in queensland. Neo sport brand.
front panels 5mm. back panels only 3mm... but hey, the price!
i picked up one for only $90- when they were selling them out at IMOZ07 and have been really happy with mine. prefer it to a $600- suit that i have. (but that's mainly that i don't like the way the sleeves/shoulders fit on the expensive one)

Milov,
There is a tri shop on Gould st in Bondi Beach (right behind the Bondi hotel) and there were discounting their orca wetsuits at very cheap price (they were changing suppliers). Might be worth giving them a call to see what they have.

Aqua Shop has a big sale at the Ironman Expo every year, there's your best bet for a good price....they also teach you how to put them on correctly too, which is a huge help, as there is an art to it! They also do trade-ins on old for new models.

I got mine from the aqua shop. It cost about 350 - 400 i think but it fit really well. Unfortunately it doesn't get to see the water very often - maybe in winter

several ! some have been said -
But I presume this is for someone else Milov? If so then it might be best to let them actually have input as well.
All the best David

Not me, I've never been known to don a women's wetsuit and start searching for stuff.

I thought Milov must have lost something in a women's wetsuit, which I imagine would be a rather embarrassing predicament!

Hi milov
If she only wants it for one use (say around April 6) I'd be more than happy to loan my Nineteen Tsunami. Its a pretty good wettie and knows the course.
We may be different sizes, but she could certainly try it out. You or she can PM me if interested.
