The best wetsuits offer a balance of flexibility, buoyancy, and durability. Investing in a good one is paramount if you’re going to be attempting triathlons.
You will lose body heat very quickly in the water, so even in warmer conditions, a lightweight wetsuit may be required to prevent you from cooling off too much. They’re not just for the swimming stage, but set you up for what comes after, and can be good choices for other sport that involves open-water swimming too.
