Swim Skin Recommendations
I'm looking for recommendations on a mid-level (read as not top of the line and not cheap) swim skin for IMChoo. Chances are it will not be wetsuit legal and this will be my first IM without a wetsuit. Thanks!

I have an older Xterra model which I have used and like a lot. They usually have a bunch of sales, so keep a look out. Frankly, I have used it more than my wetsuit over the past 2 years.
I on the other hand have had bad xterra experience. terrible customer service. last two skins ripped early.
happy with my current cheap Roka skin.
@Derrek Sanks , have your raced in your Roka Elite? What is the feedback? Thanks!
Did you roll up your sleeves or just leave them out on your arms? The Roka Elite is sleeveless, right? Did it feel like the sleeves were dragging much in the water (I'm guessing the answer is no). Thanks!
I found another website that says Lake Michigan temps at Steelhead are around 75 deg, so I may not need one after all. That would be great, because I would much rather swim in a wetsuit.
