Beware, if you buy a wetsuit that has too much insulation, you'll begin to sweat and that is not a good sign. When you are hot you will wear yourself out much faster and that defeats the point of wearing a triathlonwetsuit. It is necessary however when swimming under say, 30*F to wear a complete body suit. If it's really cold you might want to add hood, or preferably buy a wetsuit with a hood already attached, as it will streamline better. If it's not too hot you might consider using a wetsuit that has less coverage. You might want to do that because it will increase your range and freedom and movement considerably. This is especially true for the breast stroke fanatics who need more flexibility and freedom of movement, especially in the knees. There are actually specific suits that are designed to have no legs in order to give your knees maximum leverage and movement.
