I used my Vendetta fullsuit from XTERRA for the first time today and I was flying! Or more like floating. The buoancy on that suit is impressive. It totally improved my position in the water and I was much faster than usual.
Judging by my times I was gaining 5-10 seconds per hundred. Probably closer to 10 seconds per hundred. To get your own Vendetta check out their site http://www.xterrawetsuits.com/
The arms took the most getting used to. While overall I was much faster it was kind of exhausting on the shoulders/upper body. It's also super delicate. I managed to make a tiny nail tear on my first use. So be careful!
I'm trying to race elite this season, so I think it's worth the expense.
