Congrats ~ Which suit did you end up getting and how many did you have to try on. I've been on one trip so far to try them on and after three brands I thought I might have a winner with a ninetten, but want to try a 2xu first. It was exhausting trying them on, like a 4th event before the tri even starts.

absolutely!  I was all sweaty from the work of getting into the first suit - that it made getting into the subsequent suits that much more difficult!

i actually did decide on the nineteen pipeline - it fit me the best.

So today I pick the hottest day we've had to go finally try on the 2XU suit I thought I might like over the Nineteen. After trying on three different 2XU including a men's M/T that the fellow thought might work out ~ nope, I need to pump some weights for that one !! ~ I finally ended up with the pipeline that Jill got. Did you get the pink one? NOW I'm dying to try it out.

Yes - I got the pink one too!  It worked out great the 2 times that I have used it so far...Still a bugger to put on - but had no issues (like chaffing or anything) during my tri swim (the longest swim I have done in it).

Don't envy you trying on suits today of all days!  You should have gone on Thursday - it was COLD then!

Yes, a cooler day might have helped, but unfortunately I'm at the mercy of my husband's work schedule for shopping trips like this. Even with him there my brood were a handful by the time we were done.
