leg circunfrence need just a little moore room

It does what I expected helps you feel like your having a better work out and when I take it off after 20 25 meter laps my kicks feel way stronger and effortless.

This drag suit is a great way to take your swim workout to the next level.

I swam most of the season with tights and then I got this pocket suit because our coach suggested them as an alternative to swimming tights.  It is really a step up from tights, don't let coach fool you.  Luck was on my side because they day I receive the pocket suit in the mail was the same day coach receive his box of parachutes for the team.  I got to wear the pocket suit.  It surprised me how much slower I went the first time I wore it.  But after you take it off you feel like you are flying through the water.  Plus you don't have to worry about a strap hanging between you legs like you do with a chute.  A down side is coach sees no reason for me not to wear both.  Hahaha. It's a good challenge.

Some tips: Build up to it.  Don't expect to be able to put this on at the beginning of the season.  You could strain yourself.  If you swim with a team you might need to move to a slower lane.  It slows you down a lot.  Always keep it in your bag if you are not using it so when coach pulls out the chutes you have your ace in you pocket.  It is about equal drag to a small chute.  

My goal is to eventually use this all the time as my daily drag suit.
I would suggest this to any moderate to strong swimmer.

Happy Swimming

Really gives my son a "hard" workout... he loves it!!!

I ordered this suit for my 15 year old son, who swims club year round.  This suit really provides some drag and makes him work that much harder.  He really struggled with it when he first got it.  Two comments that folks might find helpful - 1. The draw string tie doesn't always like to stay tied which can be challenging when doing a set and your suit keeps falling down.  Almost everyone on our team has replaced their draw strings with goggle bungee straps which can be cinched up really tight so they don't fall off. (that's why it only got 4 stars)  2. My 6'4", 155 lb son is wearing a size small.  A med would also probably work, as his sits quite low on his hips, but this suit definitely does not run small.
