Does anyone wear under a full wet suit. I am looking for something for triathlon.

Depends how it fits, I wear a 12/14 and it was too snug across the bust. I use to have a Henderson (15+ years ago) wore it in the lap pool till warm,and while helping scuba classes and use to use it over a dive skin to add core warmth in Caribbean, can't find another with a full zipper,

I usually wear a size 10 or so, and I got a Large wetsuit. It is hard to get on, harder to get off wet..I use it in a pool. Maybe it should fit tighter, but this is easier for me to get on and off (even with the zipper in front).

I swim regularly, and normally wear a size 4. I ordered a size 32, and feel like it is a good fit. My competitive swimmer daughter, tells me my suit is too big. I think anything smaller would feel too tight.

Not at all. They are rather tight. It really is like a thicker second skin. My little one has no trouble at all. She actually loves the suit because it keeps her warm when we kayak cold mountain waters.

XXL, XL might be too snug, but with your size and weight, plus most wet suits are snug and usually are a size smaller, so my best advice is go with XXL.

no they will not stay dry you would probably need a full body suit that is very tight

Yes. That is how you wear them. ..as a base layer.Hydroskin is NOT neoprene. In fact a full hydroskin suit is worn under a wetsuit to aid in warmth. Just like these socks.

I got it to wear kayaking in colder Southern California weather. I don't think that it is meant to wear IN water.

I swim laps 2-3 times and week an tho bathing suit is the only one I have, it's very chlorine resistant! Now with that being said you should never wash your suit in the washing machine an always hang to dry. I never ring mine out either. Hope this helps!Lovin mineCheers

You will get wet. The vest is a good option for warmer water. A jacket is good for cooler water. I recommend not buying any item from wetsuit wear house unless you like sewing it yourself.

No flotation assistance. But the Neosport triathlon suits including the short leg sleeveless models give some buoyancy. But for casual swimming or daily training in a cold pool, the vest is much easier to put on and take off.

It's not so much your height but your weight, and how many layers you plan to wear underneath the rain suit. I'm a few inches taller than you and I bought a Large, which is plenty big. I'd recommend a Medium for you.

This is meant to be worn instead of a wet suit. I bought it to wear in tropical climate to avoid rash/burn from board in the ocean.

I wouldn't if I could help it.. I don't think its rated for swimming. I've taken it on some pretty wet runs but never purposely submerged it. Doubt it would survive a Triathlon is that's what you're thinking.

No - it's a "dry" suit - solid. Wet suits "breathe" as they allow water to pass through. I wear sweats when wearing dry suits to keep suit from sticking to me and provide a layer of insulation. I only use it in cold weather, so really no sweating going on for me.

William, I think a tradional surf or diving wetsuit would be too hot for out-of-water sport activities. They are incredible insulators, so I would be concerned about overheating or dehydration. I wear my suit half way (to the waist) when I goto the beach. The drive is only 15 minutes, but in that short time of inactivity I'm starting to get very warm. Also, there is the chafing factor. Tradional surf wetsuits will chaf surfers in high friction areas such as the armpits and neck. I can only imagine the chafing you'd get if you ran in one! If you still wish to wear a wetsuit in your workouts, my recommendation would be to look at the lighter weight wetsuits that triathletes use.

I like them to fit like a wetsuit which is pretty tight. You should have to "roll" it up off your back when you take it off. Sounds like you have the correct size.
