Thank you for your outstanding support at Ironman CDA. The wetsuit performed great (in, what I believe was the coldest water ever at CDA) and it propelled me to my best time by over 40 minutes. Your service is great, and it is not just for beginners (I went 10:48, 179th place overall). I will gladly recommend you to all my friends.

Listen, you stepped up on short notice and helped me out. You also trusted that you would get paid. Not often the way business gets done these days. My cousin and I appreciate that kind of customer service attitude. Happy to do business with you again.

I would also just like to say that your company is truly a blessing for beginner triathletes and i cannot thank you enough for how well run, responsive and helpful you have been. Thank you again so much.

I wanted to thank you for shipping my daughters suit out quickly after I had made a mistake on the event date. We got the suit in time and it worked great, 2nd out of the water in the relay division. Not bad for a 12 year old. Anyway thanks again for your prompt sevice.

I just wanted to send an email to tell you what a great company you have. My wetsuit arrived early and was in excellent condition, helped me to a PR in the swim (first time to compete in a wetsuit...I am never going to try and be an Ironman and swim w/o one again), and was easy to return. On a whole customer service, response time, feedback, etc. has been first rate. Thanks

The suit was fantastic and certainly contributed to me shattering my goal time in my first-ever triathlon! Headed over to UPS now to ship the suits back. Just wanted to say I really appreciate the service, and look forward to renting from you again in the future, as well as recommending wetsuitrental.com to my friends.

I also wanted to give you my kudos for "saving" me in time for my triathlon. I had previously ordered a wetsuit from another company who failed to tell me that the wetsuit was not in stock until just before my event. I was desperate and ran across your company by doing a Yahoo search. Wetsuit Rental not only promptly sent me a wetsuit, but it fit, too!!! I was able to do my FIRST triathlon without any worries about what I was going to wear for the (cold) swim. Thank you Thank you Thank you.

I was SO nervous and anxious about how to choose (and put on!) a wetsuit for my first triathlon. The suit you sent was just right, and everything was so hassle-free. I will recommend your company to others!

I swam in my first-ever triathlon today using one of your wonderful wetsuits! I was astonished at how much more glide I got from each stroke... I'm convinced that it made a huge difference in my time. Thanks for making a great memory for me and for possibly beginning a new hobby!

Thank you very very much! I will tell other people to look you guys up, definitely a great tri company to be associated with!

Brian P

**********************

The wetsuit received was perfect and both the delivery and return was executed perfectly. I actually have never swam with a wetsuit before my last event, and I must say that I was very impressed. The suit fit perfectly and it allowed me to come out of the water first in my age group and 3rd overall - Not bad out of 800 people. ;-) So thank you very much for helping me to have an excellent first experience in wearing one.

Thank you for having the 2XU suit shipped to me so quickly. It arrived just in time for my event! I really appreciate the level of customer service that I received from you, and I will be strongly recommending your company to my friends and fellow triathletes.

I just bought the suit and I wanted to thank you for making it so easy to buy/rent a wetsuit. This past weekend was the first time I wore one, and it made a huge difference. I kept putting it off thinking it would be such a hassle going through the process of getting one. So thank you and Wetsuit Rental for such a hassle free experience!

AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME!!!!!! Once again you came through with not only a high quality wetsuit, but in plenty of time before my race. Thank you again for the fourth time.

I must say I am so impressed with your company. Your customer service has been exceptional! I am so pleased with the transaction, seeing that I ordered at such a late date and the wetsuit arrived in plenty of time! Thank you, Thank you!!! It fits perfectly and is super easy to put on and more importantly super easy to take off! I feel so much better about this weekend. Thank you again, I am so glad I found your website.

**********************

I want to say thank you again and to let you know how awesome that I think you guys are. The kind of customer service that you and your company exhibit is pretty unheard of. I thought it was a long shot emailing you directly and actually having a wetsuit to race in a couple of weeks later! The bottom line is that I really appreciate your help. You definitely have a customer for life, and I will let everyone I know how great you guys are to work with.

I want to take this opportunity to thank you good folks at WetsuitRental.com for making it possible for me to complete my first ever triathlon... With some skepticism, I rented the suit and waited for the delivery. I was delighted and relived when the package from Wetsuit Rental showed up. The transaction was painless and your shop exceeded my expectations.

Lou E

**********************

Wow! We received our wetsuits yesterday! We are so happy - they fit good and seem like pretty nice suits (I’m still learning all about them). I told my coach what a great experience this has been working with your company. I would highly recommend Wetsuit Rental to anyone!

Set Up Events would like to extend an enormous thank you for helping us out with our wetsuit needs for Kinetic Sprint and Half distance events this weekend in Virginia. The wetsuits arrived on time and were greatly appreciated by our lifeguard staff. The waters were chilly as they always are in Virginia in April, so they really appreciated WetsuitRental.com! Your help with this need is the true meaning of a sports sponsorship and partnership and for that we thank you!

Your wetsuit was the only reason I finished the swim in Vegas. That water was freezing! I appreciate your wonderful customer service. Thank you so much!!!

I want to thank you for making our triathlon experience a huge success for our youth athletes. This Sunday, fourteen of our team members completed their first triathlon. Many of these kids rented wetsuits from you, and I must say that this made all the difference for them in the open water swim. The kids had an incredible time, and I want to thank you for being a part of this experience.

Thank you for making this so easy! I really appreciate your help and I am telling all my friends (that I coaxed into doing some triathlons with me) to using your website for their wetsuits! What an easy way to be able to use such an expensive and fabulous wetsuit!

I very much appreciate the service I received and the quality of the wetsuit. I am very pleased and will certainly look to you again next time I'm looking to rent a wetsuit.

I want to thank you again for overnighting the wetsuit for my son. It got here on time for the race and he wound up getting 1st place in the 14 & under age group. Your company played a big part in making it an experience he won't forget (he wants to be a "triathlete" now).

Jim McCann

    With the growing interest in triathlon, Jim recognized a consistent hurdle for folks willing to try their hand
    at this daunting sport...
    "After seeing thousands of new triathletes start in the club, I realized it was a good thing
    when a new triathlete wore a wetsuit in open water. Prior to becoming the club president, I
    ran the club races for three years. If I could just get a wetsuit on all the new triathletes for
    their first race, I wouldn't have to worry about one thing -- they couldn't sink! The warmth
    the wetsuit provides from the cold water also cuts down on people hyperventilating the
    first hundred yards or so. The main issue which prevents people from wearing a wetsuit is
    the cost of a new wetsuit and the lack of rental options. New wetsuits start at about $189
    and go up to $599. For the new triathlete who doesn't know for sure if this sport is for
    them, it's hard to justify spending that kind of money for a piece of equipment they might
    only use once.  So for little money, you can rent a wetsuit that will fit you properly. You
    might even enjoy your swim and go on and have a great time in your race. So that's how
    the WetsuitRental.com started, trying to fill the need of those new to our sport that could
    benefit from a expensive piece of equipment."

    Our Stats
    You read it right… over 25,000 athletes served! That’s how we’ve managed to establish a current fitting
    success rate of 97% - practice, practice, practice. With a small core group of employees who have been
    at it now for 5 years, you’ve got the most reliable team in the country choosing your suit for you.

    Our Prices
    Still among the lowest in the business, our $45 base rental fee gets you more time with your suit than any
    other company. Plus you can purchase additional time with your wetsuit for a very low rate.   And, yes,
    we've got bargains on used wetsuits!

    Our Shipping
    With a Target Ship Date of 10 DAYS before your event, we ship earlier than our competitors. The time
    frame allows you to opt for cheaper Ground shipping (while still leaving enough time for emergency
    exchanges for that 3% we get wrong) or to upgrade to Air and get the suit a weekend early.

    Our Wetsuits
    Our inventory currently boasts 10 name brands of triathlon wetsuits – and we’re adding more! Why?
    Because there is no single wetsuit brand that fits every body type perfectly (that's 5 years of experience
    talking). With our large selection, you can be sure that we’ll put you into the best suit for your shape –
    and not the suit we’re working to sell.

    Our Store
    It’s not our goal to compete with some of the triathlon supply giants that offer a selection that includes
    every piece of equipment available from every brand out there (although we do LOVE to shop them), but
    there are a few items that we want you to be aware of – from the tried and true to the fresh and innovative.

    Our Reputation
    You won’t see any big splashy ads featuring Wetsuit Rental. Why? Well… they’re really expensive! And
    besides, word-of-mouth advertising has done wonders for our business. Our customers are coming back
    and bringing friends (and thanks by the way).

    In 5 years, we’ve worked out a lot of kinks. While we can’t claim perfection, we will tell you that we have
    spent hundreds of dollars on single orders just to do what’s necessary to deliver as promised.

    Our Philosophy
    Jim McCann, our beloved founder, husband, brother and friend to the triathlon community, passed away
    during our first year of operation. During the initial week or so of shock and grief, business took a back
    seat and we let some customers down. And that’s when we learned the true strength and value of the
    triathlon community…

    With very few exceptions, customers, race directors, wetsuit manufacturers, and competitors reached out
    with everything from basic forgiveness for our temporary failings to delaying terms on invoices to one race
    director who actually tore up a dozen certificates for free wetsuits so he wouldn’t have to bother us during
    the aftermath of our personal tragedy.

    And we got it. We truly, to the core, understood Jim’s passion for and dedication to the triathlon world.
    Yes, it’s a sport, but that sport has spawned a community of people who work closely together to further
    something as simple as the health and well being of its members new and old. It’s a world where
    competitors are the best of friends – on the course and in business. And we’re proud and humbled to be
    a part of it.
