Hello - I am new to triathlons and am looking to purchsae a wetsuit. I was wondering if any experienced triathletes in Southern California can recommend a good first wetsuit for the waters around here?

Thanks.

You are going to get a wide selection of recommendations. I personally like desoto wetsuits because they are two piece. Besides a good wetsuit and great customer service from their company (you can email the owner, Emilio, personally with your measurements and get a 'perfect' fit recommendation), other advantages are if you tear part of it (which I haven't), you only have to buy one piece instead of replacing the whole wetsuit. Also, if your top or bottom body is larger or smaller than the other, you can mix and match sizes.

Both the long sleeve and short sleeve top (with long john bottom) has kept me warm in both Long Beach and Oxnard waters throughout the winter in temps at around 55 degrees.
