Too small but built to last
By A. Swimmer from New England on 10/24/2009
Size: Feels too small

It lasts for a long time but the inside liner starts to stretch.  I would also reccomend getter a larger size than normal because this suit runs small.

Nice suit!

Size: Feels true to size

It doesn't have any padding up top.  It holds up really well in the water even after a lot of use.

Top Too Tight
By Karina B. from Sherman Oaks, CA on 4/16/2009

I swim 4 or 5 times a week and have owned numerous FINIS Solid Bladeback suits, which fit me perfectly and lasted for a good long time.  So I assumed this print version of the suit would fit the same, but I was wrong.  The bottom fits, but for me, It is cut much tighter on top.  (I am a 34 D).  So I would not recommend this for a woman with a larger bust.

Skip This One!
By SCG from New Mexico on 3/2/2009
Size: Feels true to size

After owning this suit for ~three months, the back straps have started to fray and come apart.  I have never had a suit do this to me, even the nylon ones.  So, getting this polyester suit so I won't have to buy another suit so soon has been rendered moot because now I have to replace this one.  Great.

Awesome Suit
By Cynda from Butte, MT on 2/6/2009
Size: Feels true to size

I use the suit for general swimming about 3 to 4 days a week. It's comfortable, fits great, and hasn't faded. I have no complants.

good stretchy fabric

Great suit, but the liner seems bigger than suit, and it moves around.

Great suit!
By Grace from US/North America/Earth/Milky Way on 12/6/2008
Size: Feels true to size

I've used this suit for every practice for several months, also used in 2 meets. The Lining faded from black to gray almost immediately, but the outside has remained exactly the same. It fits very well, and causes no drag. Great long-lasting suit, and I highly recommend it.

Works better dry than wet
By JTM from Charlottesville, VA on 12/1/2008
Size: Feels true to size

If I had tried it on at a store, I would definitely have bought this suit because it's attractive and it fits well, but when I got in the water, it was a different story.  This has never happened to me before, but when I turn the suit scoops the water and drags the water through the suit along the length of my torso.  I feel it in the front and the back of the suit even though the suit is snug when it's dry.  It definitely slows me down.
