what wetsuit to buy

I am looking into buying a wetsuit for triathlons, does anyone have any recommendations? I live in texas and plan on getting a shorty. should I get a 2mm or 3mm thick suite? What brand is good?

just my lousy .02 but don't get the shorty
one great thing about wetsuits is the bouyancy they give to parts of you that sink (like your legs) if you get the shorty you loose that bouyancy. Get the one fits you best different brands fit differently. find a tristore in you area and see if you try on a couple pairs.

Re: what wetsuit to buy
agree with not getting a shortie... go with a sleeveless instead! As far as which one to get.. just get one that fits!!!
