Here's an FYI for everyone that read through my trisuit thread. I wound up ordering that Orca Distance suit and it arrived yesterday. I wanted to relate to you some sizing information, I'm tall and thin, so, I was kind of torn between ordering one size up than what my measurements suggested based on chest/waist/hips in an effort to accomodate my extra height, or stick with exactly what the size chart recommends (no I couldn't try on locally, none of the shops in town have anything on the shelf worth having). I was cautious that ordering a size larger might make it too loose, boy was I wrong. The suit turns out to fit just right, in fact, I would even go as far as to say that I could have ordered even ANOTHER size larger and it would have fit just fine.
The moral of the story is, I suppose, that there's some wiggle room when determining your size requirements for these clothes.

Pocket?

Pocket?

Yup. But not like bike jersey pockets, this one's invisible, tight, and hopefully won't gulp water.
