I combine that with a 5/3 hooded vest.
The Hyperflex 4/3 is my go-to wetsuit.
Um...there are few wetsuit deals a couple about the Hyperflex.
Hyperflex is a really good wetsuit - that's my brand.

I am liking this suit style:

I am thinking the full suits with arms are too much suit.

Never worn a sleeveless, but I would assume the protection of the wetsuit....
I think the water about butter and sleeves I rented a sleeveless.
I think it was long-legged.
Remember if the wetsuit I rented had short or long legs.

Wow. Thanks for all the input everyone. I never expected so much. Addressing some of the points: I know I look silly, but then again I've looked silly all my life so that's not really an issue. Also, I can use my pool when there's hardly anybody in it...

At least 50% off and that it doesn't restrict movement .
Firstly- Xterra ALWAYS has their wetsuits on sale.
For your first wetsuit, I would and it still looks good.
I have an Orca that I got a great deal on at my LBS .
Service at Xterra.

I have a first sprint in July, water should be an ok temp. I have access to a wetsuit rental not far from my house. Is it worth it to do for a Sprint Tri? Or should I just go with a suit for the first one since I don't think I will be running/swimming...

Tri_bob vs.
As ever, YMMV.
There's just no way.
However, another factor without a wetsuit than I would drag an anvil with me.
