Super Fast and Well Made Suit! By Chris from Madison, WI on 06/17/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Price, Space Woman, Warm Best Uses: Swimming in open water 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: I'm a wannabe triathlete. I would never pay retail for a suit like this, but at the price I paid I had to try it. I was using a Stealth suit which was great at first. However the suit was a little big in the water. A wetsuit for swimming will feel super snug on land and then in the water it's perfect. The Apex has a neck seal which is great. The suit is super boyent(sp?) and makes me fast. My husband is faster in the pool and he could not keep up to me in the open water when I have this suit on. I'm a novice swimmer and I was amazed at how the suit keeps me on top of the water. The lettering all over the suit is a little different, but the red arms are cool and the suit fits like a glove. I'm keeping it!

I am 5'8" and 130 lbs. If I'm wearing a womens suit, it's got to be M or L b/c my shoulders are so broad. Mens smalls fit much better in the shoulder. Other than the narrow tight shoulders and resulting neck choke (albeit slight compared to other suits w/higher necks), this suit is awesome. 61-degree water was comfortable (just slightly chilly) and the suit is more stretchy and low-profile than any other suit i've worn- without sacrificing any buoyancy.
runs small order one size larger By jap from clinton ct on 03/30/2009 Chest Size: Feels too small Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I haven't used it yet, but I'm 140 lbs and 5'8'' and the medium was really tight and uncomfortable. I haven't received the large yet to see if it fits better but I read on another website to add 15 lbs to your weight when sizing. [...]
