Yep- am interested in this one too- is there a team event in it? When is it by the way?

No hassle if not- I'm not getting rid of ALL of my club gear!!

Your post sent me upstairs to check Dena, as I couldn't honestly remember what back my trisuit has :? - anyhow it is pretty much a racer back but there is mesh on either side of it make it a full-ish back. I won't be swimming on friday but I can give it to Martin for you to have a look at if you want?

That is actually an interesting point- why are most wetsuits black?-
is there a scientific/speed/cheaper to manufacture/to impersonate a seal reason for it?

Ideally you could try on a few and get your sizing right and then shop online- they're much cheaper
