DeSoto vs. Zoot trisuit

Both companies make quality products. As far as sizing is concerned, I would say that Zoot Sports products are closer to the true size, and De Soto's are a little bit on the small size. Therefore, if you decide to get De Soto's stuff and you are right on the border between two sizes, go with the bigger one.
If you have not pick out a store yet, check out the Tri Outfitter @ www.trioutfitter.com . They carry both companies and you will have no problems exchaning products for different sizes or returning them for refund if they don't fit.

i LOVE my desoto suit...but then, its the only trisuit i've ever had. i have a tri top and shorts, and have raced in a bathing suit and shorts. i can't imagine racing w/o my trisuit. i honestly thought of wearing it in my recent 1/2 marathon, because it is SO comphy...but i thought i would look too silly. anyway, the best thing i can say is that i just don't think about it. when i wear other things, i have to adjust now and then while racing, get chaffed here or there, etc. none of that happens with the desoto suit. i just race and it does what its supposed to. btw, i so wear a sport bra under it as it has zip for chest support. i actually prefer that it doesn't try to have support, because then each person can pick the bra that works best for them.

Thank you all for the advice. I’ll keep all that in mind. As a side note, I have to admit that there is a tinge of fear in my stomach when I think about actually wearing it in public, so thanks for the comments about that as well.
