By Just Me from Hampton, VA on 11/08/2009 Pros: Breathable, Comfortable, Dries Quickly, Great Fit Best Uses: Shorter triathlons Describe Yourself: Competitive Cyclist Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I have yet to use this in a shorter triathlon, but that is the intent. There is almost no padding, which would not be a major issue in shorter triathlons, but you might want a bit more padding for a longer triathlon. So this would be great for non-wetsuit swims and subsequent biking in half-Olympic distance road triathlons, or most distances of warm-weather off-road triathons I would imagine. Anything longer than that, I would prefer either more padding, or an additional seat pad, or both. This should speed up transition some, I would imagine, which is probably also more important in shorter triathlons. As for sizing, I had some worries about fit since only the size 4 remained when I ordered. I normally wear size 34 swim suit size and could even wear a 36 at this time. For regular clothing, I currently wear closest to a size 6. In any case, the size 4 fits me at least as well as a size 34 swim suit, which means a bit on the snug side, although I have to admit that my plan is to lose a bit of weight prior to my next triathlon, at least enough to be a more solid size 34 or 4.
Comfortable your entire swim. By Group home director from Montpelier, VT on 10/06/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Easy To Put On And Off 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: A great suit for the money. I'm 5'10", 140 and the MT size fits great. Goes on and comes off with minimal struggle. The suit does seem prone to cuts and seams wearing but these are mendable. Great mobility, especially under the arms.
By c from richmond, va on 09/29/2009 Describe Yourself: Avid Cyclist Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Diving into a first tri - needed a tri-suit. The euro 12 fit me well - size 10. Legs not tight, fairly comfortable on the dry fit.
Will have to try it in the water - but seems to be a good deal.
By First Time Triathlete from Colorado Springs on 09/14/2009 Describe Yourself: Avid Cyclist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I'm a size 10. 5'5" about 130lbs and the size 12 fits perfectly. It will be great for my first Tri.
By Mighty Mom from Annapolis, MD on 08/18/2009 Pros: Breathable, Dries Quickly, Great Fit Describe Yourself: Competitive Cyclist Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This is a great Tri suit. I am normally an 8-10 and the 6 fits perfect! You don't want it to be lose anywhere. It even seems to have enough support in the bra which is rare for me since I have a C cup. I like that it is all black since the open water swims are always in murky waters. There is very little padding in the rear, but wouldn't want a lot for the triathlon day.
By Bob from Ketchikan AK on 08/01/2009 Describe Yourself: Casual User Chest Size: Feels too small Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I'm 5'10" and weigh 190 with a 42 inch chest. A bit chunky. No way did I fit in the size 8 though I fit the parameters. Zipping was impossible. It looked like a good suite.
By first time tri from Nichols NY on 07/17/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Great Fit Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Must run slightly large. I usually wear a size 8-10 (clothing). I bought a 6 which fits perfectly! I am very pleased.

By Tri ing Mum from Maine on 07/06/2009 Pros: Durable, Good zipper, Warm Best Uses: Colder Water, Swimming in open water Describe Yourself: Beginner Chest Size: Feels too small Length: Feels true to length Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I am a novice Triathlete, this is my first wetsuit. After reading other reviews, I ordered a size up and glad I did. At 5 foot 2 120lbs. a medium is a good fit. The suit is tight but supposed to be. I can move my shoulders and the buoyancy is just right. Our ocean is 57 degress, I am able to stay in the water for 30-45 minutes and am warm as long as I keep moving. I think this is a great choice.
