Hi guys, I'm in the market for a wetsuit. I borrowed an Orca brand one last year and really liked it so would ideally like to get something similar. Any advice on best value place to pick one up?
Thanks,
Katie

Hi Katie, personally I'm a Orca fan myself and was rather annoyed to find that nearly no shop had them to try them on, bought a Wetsuit on Sale from Orca at the end of the day, but wouldn't recommend it if you are not too sure about the size. So shops where you can try and buy : Base2Race ( you actually can try the suit in their endless pool, but I usually find them pricey ), Irishfit, they have different brands , Wheelworx ( you can't actually try on the Wetsuit but they accept of course return if they sold you the wrong size), cyclesuperstore ( they don't seem to have many Wetsuits since they moved ). Online option would be Swimcyclerun, they have Orca's and good prices. Good hunting

Thanks so much for that info Britta, you're a star! I'll start with Irishfit and Cycle Superstore as I've heard different models can be sized differently so probably best to try on! Thanks again.

There's a shop in Cork called Edge sports, great value and always has sales and a good web shop if you don't want to travel.

Update- went to Irishfit in Sandyford, tried on a few suits and walked out the same day with a brand new Orca, great deal and fantastic service. Highly recommend.
