Subject: Where to rent a wetsuit?

Still toying with the idea of a HIM in a couple months, trying to get a grasp on all the variables. This race has a marginal chance of allowing a wetsuit, I think they were legal two years ago but the temperature was just a little high last year, but they did let people use them if they weren't competing for podium positions.

Down here, no one brings a wetsuit near the circuit of races that I do or want to do. If I use a wetsuit, it would be for the occasional fringe race that would take place real early in the year. Even with this HIM, I wouldn't want the wetsuit for warmth as much as for buoyancy.

Anyway, that's why I'm looking into the possibility of renting versus buying. Looks like I can get a sleeveless Promotion suit for <$150, so I want to check out some sites online to see what the deal is on rentals.

Anyone have any sites that they've used, or are aware of?

I bought my wetsuit on closeout from Bonzai.  They do a pretty big rental business from what I understand.  According to their site, it's $3.50/day with a 7 day min.  And since you probably aren't going to pick it up at their store, you'd have to add another $15 for 2-way shipping.  You might get lucky on a cheap closeout too.  I got a full suit for just over $100 shipped.
