Before I put it on ebay would anyone be interested in my Alpkit openwater swimming wetsuit? It's the woman's version of this model in 'short and strong' I love it as its got less padding but I'll never fit in it again. Is in excellent condition, but there is a indent on the front thats been there since I got it. (I'll get a photo in a sec) Would post for £70 alpkit.com
