Can anyone give me advice on the following issue.
I'm gonna purchase an wetsuit but I don't know whether to choose the Aquaman
Metal Cell or the Ironman Stealth 2003.
Has anyone experience with either of the two or can give me advice which one
to choose.
thanks in advance!

I've never heard of the Metal Cell, but I've raced and trained in both an
Aquaman Pulsar and Ironman Stealth (2000?). The Stealth suit felt more bouyant
while the Pulsar was more flexible. I liked the performance of the Stealth
suit better, but a major factor in that is that I feel more comfortable in a
sleevless suit and my Stealth suit was sleevless while the Pulsar was long
sleeves. Another reason for my bias is that I used the Pulsar for early
season races where the water was much colder and I was not in as good of
shape. My advice to you is to try on both and see how they fit on you. Maybe
you have some tri friends with either of the models that would be willing to
let you test swim it? It's worth looking into.

I would go with the IRONMAN. I have used both types and feel the IRONMAN
is the best. there is not heeps of difference but I feel less
restrictive and can breath better in the IRONMAN. the legs are far more
bouyant too. Good luck with your choice
