After trying so many suits and seeing them last for less than a month, we quit trying to "save money" by going with less expensive suits and opted for the aquablade. They really do live up to their reputation for durability, fit and comfort. They have made it through practices and even some competition. Not only does my son use this suit, but it ts the suit of choice for the majority of his club team. Great price point and fantastic value.
Great: material and design
Found this suit to be comparable in size to other Speedo suits. My son said it was very comfortable and fit perfectly, He was not checking it and adjusting it like he has with other briefs. He wore it for the first time at a state championship meet and did get his best times ever. I credit that more to practice than the suit, but the suit did make him more confident. I think it is worth the price for a competitive suit.
This is a great suit! I used it at state, and even though I didn't go a best time (due to sickness) I still pulled off a 31 second breast stroke in the 200 medley relay. Only down side is the suit was very tight.
My son's liked it a lot. He thinks helped him swi faster.
The lining started coming apart after a week. I had to cut it out. By doing that it made them much lighter and reduced drag which is a good thing. The fabric still holds its shape and the color has not faded.
