Help me choose a wetsuit, TYR vs HUUB vs all the others

Hi,

Sorry for asking this question again... A few months back I asked for advice on a wetsuit for a strong swimmer. I decided on a HUUB Archimedes but they couldn't deliver by the time I needed it, so I ended up with a Zone 3 Vanquish. Not a success, I returned it and got a refund.

I did learn some lessons with the Vanquish though:

- the number one selling argument for just about all wetsuits is what bothers me most: Buoyancy. They say balanced buoyancy, I say corrective. While I'm not accustomed to wearing a wetsuit I felt that the corrective buoyancy impairs my sighting abilities.

- I want a wetsuit to keep me warm, swimming in 17C is a no go without a wetsuit, but the wetsuits doesn't mention how well they keep the swimmer warm. What I know from surf wetsuits, I doubt I'd Aquasphere swim skin is enough.

So what's the doubt, why not just order the Archimedes? Well, pricetag for one thing, I tried to compare with the Aerious and the only difference - at least in listed key features - are the bicep and calf release panels - worth another £150? While I don't care so much about the bicep release - ok they look cool - I do care about calf release for fast transition.

And to mess up my mind, it turns out that the Tyr C5 is available with discounts at about the same price as the Aerious... Tyr writes their wetsuits are 5mm upper body, core and legs, the same buoyancy throughout, as in 5:5? While Huub is available in 4:4. The Tyr may be too hot, and too(!?) buoyant even if it is actually balanced, and 5 in the legs I suppose it can be hard to get off if that includes the lower legs. I don't know how the Aerious is in terms of not getting stuck around the ankles...

How do the two compare?

Thanks, Erik
