ISO swim skin for Aruba. Water temps expected to be over 80. Let's hear your recommendations!

It's the only one I have worn so can't comment on how it compares to others. I will say the one I have is gray/black so it stands out compared to the mostly black ones others wear if that matters at all to you. I am sure it would make it easier for friends/family to spot you on race day, however I have no friends and my family doesn't come close to loving me enough to watch a triathlon so can't say for sure.

Not sure why you're concerned about the hydrodynamic savings of 2-3 sec/100 for your first half, though. And living in nor-cal, you're wetsuit legal 12 months a year, so not a lot of need for a skin.
If you insist, you'll really need to try them on for fit. You want it as tight as possible without restricting arm motion. You should feel like a sausage in casing. And make sure the neckline doesn't have any slack.

Got a sleeveless suit on the way - production delays - but probably still too hot for Carribean temps. I've definitely felt a lot of restriction & fatigue in the shoulders with my full suit, so I'm hoping the sleeveless can be my go-to for the foreseeable future.
I've looked into them. Sorry to say Ken I haven't found many that fit in my size frame.
Fattest BQ on record--- *allegedly
2016 (and last) Rev3 Cedar Point champ- don't google the time though
They work in 2 ways: 1) reducing frictional drag, and 2) decreasing your surface area by compressing your body (this is why you see women swimmers spilling out the backs of their suits). You want it tight.
(If it helps, I'm sure we all consider you a family loved one)

Actually the athlete guide says "Swim suits, because of the perfect water temperature, will not be allowed / necessary." but I'm hoping this is a translation error!
