Wetsuit top

Looking for a wetsuit top for my wife. She swims breaststroke and a full wetsuit would not be not ideal.

Maybe a surf shop? I think all the surfers left the forum.

Something like this?

Look into these brands: 2XU, Zoot, Speedo, Orca, Giant Liv and Compressport.

These are two shops catering to triathlon gear, prices might not be pretty, but at least you can try things on.

I looked at Decathlon and they don’t have much selection. I think the most budget friendly would be Giant Liv (which is Giant’s line of women’s bikes/apparel) You can check any Giant shop or for more selection, head straight to their official dealer here:

Decathlon as Ranley mentions. If you want to support local shops, I’m sure that those in the coast (Long Dong, BiTou cap) should have something. If you want to support larger shops but still local, you have this one (multisports):

And there are smaller shops across the street that have mountain gear but some of them also snorkeling (I think).

That’s a tri suit top (scroll down and that girl in the middle in the Zoot suit actually does half Ironmans!). I’m looking for something made with wetsuit material (you know, those rubbery looking things). I call those two other places. Thanks!

Maybe I’ll search and call. Thanks. I’ve got a feeling it will be hard to find because people usually want something that goes down to at least shorts level (more typically all the way down to the ankles), whereas I’m trying to avoid extra flotation in the lower half of the body as this would really screw with breaststroke.

The name is neoprene :stuck_out_tongue:

The shops in the coast can get that stuff but some types/sizes might need to be ordered… . Also I don’t know if what you want is too specific…

Too lazy to look it up. I even have a tube of neoprene glue thingies for fixing punctures (usually made by the hard things at the tips of fingers when putting on the suit).
