Ok, I'm sold. Zoot (or was it DeSoto?, I dunno) has a speedsuit for '08 too. Mind you, the window for open water swims here is about 10 minutes a year.

5. I can roll down the entire top, effectively becoming shirtless, without actually removing the top
There are a few disadvantages that come with a one-piece, though:
1. Harder to pee/poop, especially when wearing clothes *on top* of the suit (aka cold weather)
2. Usually more expensive than a tri top + tri bottom
3. Fewer options/color choices
4. May be harder to fit on some people (not true for me personally, mine fits fine)
