This is my second suit.  The first one was totally beaten up, gottten too loose, lost all its colors  had a small tear on the side.  I hear that you are considering chlorin resistant material which would probably contribute to the longevity of the suit.  Having the suit changed the way I exercise and increased the time I spend in the pool.  i jog, run, cross country ski etc etc in the deepI love it. some times I accelerate to raise my heart beat rate, some time I just go on and on in a comfortable speed and use it to meditate.  I exercise solo or within a class and either way Its a wonderful workout. So, Thank you.
