non-wetsuit legal speedsuits - Triathlon Week

I am thinking of purchasing a speedsuit to go over my triathlon suit for swimming in non-wetsuit legal triathlons. I plan to buy either the Zoot Ultra SpeedZoot or the DeSoto Liftfoil Speedsuit. Does anyone have any pros or cons about either of these speedsuits? Any recommendations? Thanks!

I have you looked at the blue seventy Pointzero3 Swim Skin? I used it at the IM 70.3 Florida race, I really like it. It has a faint buoyancy feel, so I was able to rest my legs. The sizing is quirky, so you have to try it on for sure. I got the L and I probably could have gone with the ML. I think the Zoot Ultra SpeedZoot is a similar product.

I thought the Blue Seventy Point Zero 3 was intended to be worn instead of a tri suit rather than over a tri suit? I kind of have to get something that I can peel off and then finish racing in my regular tri gear...

Not sure where you read that but this suit you peel off, you wouldn't want to keep it on, you would bake in it. Now the 2XU suit you leave on like a trisuit, not sure about the 2 suits you mentioned.
