i dont see any olympic swimmers swimming in speedos so why dont you buy a jammer that is 5 dollars more. this suit is yet the novelty for swimming in the 21st century please use as directed and wash carefully. -experienced swimmer that has won state gold medals in texas (Andre Carlo Saenz)
I used it for a few swims at JEI, but for the fourth swim it got a hole punched in the fabric. The fabric is very, very fragile. Also, the zipper must be carefully zipped to avoid unmeshing. A very fast suit, but durability is bad.
i havnt yet bought this suit but have wore it. i just wanted to write on here to comment on a previous comment about cutting a 550 dollar lzr body suit into a speedo. its been proved that a full suit is the fastest way to go. if u were going to cut the suit atleast do it with a jammer that is 200 dollars less. fastskin lzr should be left how it comes. hence forth the reason at the olypic games and trials u only saw jammers, legskins, and body suits. if a speedo were to be made. the suit would lack a core stabilizer. which is one of many things that makes this suit the fastest in the world
i agree with the guy below me. cutting your 550 dollar LZR into a speedo is the funniest thing ive heard in awhile. if youre going to try and do something stupid like that, whyd you buy the full body LZR? you could do something just as stupid with the jammer.
This technical suit is designed to enhance certain capibilities of the swimmer. It is very fragile, but yields unquestionalbe results. This suit is NOT, i repeat NOT designed to be used as a practice suit!!, to use in track, or to be redesigned in order to fit someones exermental desire. The LZR is a COMPETITION suit, designed for the swimmers competing in the upper echelon of the swimming world, not for younger, inexperianced, new swimmers who rely on technology in an "attempt" to go fast.
The suit is wide in the chest and I felt water going under the front when I dove into the water. I really like the suit though and I swam best times, each time I put it on. I wish Speedo would make more. You can't find them any place.
