Wet-Suit Purchase

Xterra is having an "End of Summer" clearance sale going on till the end of Sept. I had planned on buying a wetsuit in 2014 for my triathlons (I'm a newbie), but these prices are hard to beat.

Here is my issue . . .

I'm still in the process of losing weight and getting fitter. Based on the sizing chart I am currently in the L-XL range for a wetsuit (more of an XL). Xterra reccomends that if near both sizes to go with the bigger size. I am 220# now and am looking to get at or below 200# by next year's triathlon season.

So ... should I order the XL or order the L ?? (*I'm leaning towards the XL).

Thank you in advance for your input :-)

    Buying the smaller size would be a good incentive to drop the last few pounds....

    FWIW Xterra seems to always have stuff on special, their prices are pretty attractive but i ended up buying my wetsuit from another supplier.....similar kind of deal ("last year's" model.....)

    ^^ yeah, they had them on sale a few months ago for 50% off too. I'd wait til you lose the weight. Wetsuits fit tight enought as it is.
