By windsurfer from Dallas on 10/23/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Dries Quickly, Easy To Put On And Off, Very flexible Cons: Can abrade easily, Delicate exterior Describe Yourself: Casual User Chest Size: Feels true to size Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I use this in conjunction with thermal pants and a UV shirt for windsurfing. It cuts the chill very nicely in mild conditions. Normally, it's surface would be torn up by the windsurfing gear because this is intended for swimming. The thermal layers over it protect it nicely.
By Roostathatusedta from Falmouth, ME on 09/12/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Easy To Put On And Off Cons: Chafes or Itches, Zipper pull too long Describe Yourself: Casual User Chest Size: Feels true to size Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Purchased this suit for my 1st triathlon. Swimming in Maine Atlantic waters can be colder (mid-low 60s temps). I trained and competed in this shorty and it performed very well keeping my body core warm for ocean swims. Pros- Easy to get on-off in transition. Cons- had a long zipper pull in back that interfered with swim stroke (I tied the cord into a short loop). Like many wetsuits, I experienced some chafing around the shoulders, but that can be reduced with a rash guard shirt.
By Christopher from Chicago on 09/01/2009 Pros: Easy To Put On And Off Describe Yourself: Casual User Chest Size: Feels true to size Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I wore this wetsuit for the Chicago Triathlon. It allows plenty of mobility while providing the added warmth needed for swimming in 63 degree Lake Michigan. It was very easy to get out of at the transition.

By Grumpy Bill from St Croix, USVI on 04/23/2009 Chest Size: Feels true to size Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: i need colder water to really test it, i spend the summer in England and that is why i bought a wet suit. The cord on the zipper was a joke, came off on the first go. When zipper is all the way up, chaffs the back of neck a little.
Makes me look fat, but i am not sure that is the wet suits fault. I like it. Bill Heard.
By surferpaddler from Murphy, NC on 03/16/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Dries Quickly, Durable, Easy To Put On And Off, Warm Describe Yourself: Casual User Chest Size: Feels true to size Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: very comfortable and fits like a glove - not bulky
By Pops from Bronx, New York on 03/15/2009 Describe Yourself: Beginner Chest Size: Feels true to size Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Because zipper is in the back, not front, you need someone else to fully close the zipper. Used in cold pool, not outdoors. Gets warm before you even get into the cold water, and keeps you warm thereafter. But do not use if the water is warm because you will have the surface skin temperature of a lizard at three o'clock in the afternoon in the Sahara.
