ProMotion wetsuits

I have ProMotion sleeveless and it has been a great suit. Allows for good feels for the water, easy
arm rotation, good reach and catch. I've done 1/2 IM distances in it no problem - but in cooler
races I've been cold in the water. If you are west coast (cold water) you might want to make sure
that you get a full suit...?? All the best, Dingo

Am considering buying a wetsuit from ProMotion. They seem pretty good value ($229 as opposed to
$300-400 for Orca, QR, etc) but are they decent quality? Am doing my first triathlon in September
but planning to do a few every summer so need something that's not going to fall apart on me. The
swim is my weakest discipline anyway so I think it is more important to get a suit with good
flotation than one that is particularly quick. Any advice from people who have tried these suits
would be much appreciated!

I just bought the Promotion long-sleeve top. It is very comfortable. I got it at the last minute
before Eagleman because the prediction was the water temp of 62F. I wore it under my Ironman Stealth
Longjohn. I was really happy with the overnight delivery too. The combination worked great.
Promotion is the only company that I found that sold just a top or "jacket" like wetsuit. It's a
nice option for those looking to be a bit warmer than a LJ and at less than $100 is a lot cheaper
than buying a whole full suit!
