Hi,
Has anyone rented a wetsuit before? I'm doing my first sprint triathlon in 3 weeks and the swim part is in the ocean. I'm considering renting because I'm in the process of losing weight, and am hoping by the next event in September, I'll at least be down into the next lower size of wetsuit (though that may be a little optomistic). I really would like a good wetsuit though that improves buouancy and all that good stuff, and am a little worried about the quality of wetsuits provided on a rental basis (and the creepyness factor of being in an old suit that a bunch of people have worn and sweated in ).

should i just suck it up and buy a good one, and then sell it used when i go down a size?

Any thoughts?
Thank you!
