Chicago triathletes: wetsuit questions

[JPradun]

I just started a cycling and triathlon club at my school (Univ. of Illinois-Chicago), and a few members are wondering if they can rent wet suits.

I'm a cyclist, so I have no idea what the answer is. I tried Google, and could only find places in California that rent wet suits for $30. Are there any places in the Chicagoland area that do this also?

Thanks

two places you might try

fleetfeet sports on north and wells - they used to let you rent and use the rental fee against a purchase if you want to buy later.....to be honest if you're racing in the chi region your going to need one

might try mission bay multisports - two locations, one in elgin and one downtown on randolph and halsted

I don't know specifically for your area, but dive shops around my way rent wetsuits. They usually have a couple of different options to choose from, like size, style, thickness, etc.

Where's the best place to buy one around here? Who has the best prices?

I don't know about the best prices. But Mission Bay Multisport is a great place and has wetsuits.
