TYR Durafast Elite Solid Crossfit Workout Bikini Reviews

Size: Feels too small

The bottoms fit PERFECTLY, and for that reason alone I considered keeping the suit, but as it was not cheap, I couldn''t justify it.

I am a size 6 in jeans and dresses. Unfortunately the top is cut for something much smaller around the bust than I am. I am a small 34DD (DD sounds big but I''m not that big actually), and the straps dug into my back on my lats, giving that nasty bulging back-fat look that we do not like.

If you are lean up top and have a pretty small bust, this suit will work for you, and i''m jealous, because it''s super cute. Feminine but sporty, and on the skimpy side as far as racing suits go, so you will get a fabulous tan-line.

Unfortunately I am returning mine.

This bathing suit is very cute, kinda sexy too.  Not for the big busted.  I wear an A cup and I have a little cleavage in this.  I think even if you bought a bigger size it would still be difficult to keep all of you in the bathing suit.  The bottoms have good coverage, no wedgies.  The only weird thing is that their is a drawstring on the waistband of the bottoms.  It''s uncomfortable and I think unnecessary.  I''m going to remove it.  Other than that I love it.

I swim for 1 hr, 4 times a week, in a pool. In general, I have found the TYR suits to be the best. Just got this one,so don''t know yet how well it will last. It''s made of somewhat different fabric than their previous models. It''s made with spandex, so it feels tighter, especially the top. Still, feels great in the water.

Order larger size. It wasn''t a comfortable enough cut for me to exchange it so I went elsewhere.

Size: Feels too big

The suit was way too big. I got an xs and it seems like I got a medium! It's huge!

I like the suit, but size is a problem - the top is ridiculously too small - to get a good fit you need 2 sizes, one for the top and another for the bottoms.

Size: Feels too small

I am a size 8 pant,  and have a 38B bra size, so I certainly felt that the size large in this suit would be generous. It was not. Bottoms were tight but could have been worn. The top, however, fit very small. Band was very tight and coverage was insufficient. All that being said, I like the design, color and construction is quite good. I have returned this suit and will probably reorder the extra large.

I bought this suit for lap swimming and so far it is working out well.  I normally wear a small in everything (sm bottoms, 32B top) and the size small for this suit worked perfectly.  The placement of the straps on top makes it easy to get the top on and off both pulling over the head and pulling down and it stayed in place well during my workout.  The lower cut on the top helps minimize drag, but I would caution that this suit is probably not for large chested people since you may end up spilling over the top.  My only conplaint is a small amount of chafing in the underarm area, but for hour long workouts it hasn''t really been a problem.  Overall I am quite satisfied.
