I train 7 days a week, and the lycra version of this suit was my favorite for years - I loved it for its great fit, briefer cut and comfort. Durability was ok for a lycra suit - I would get maybe 3-4 months out of one, and this is where the Durafast version of this brief takes it to a new level. While I bought several, I have yet to throw my first one away, and it's going on 2 years old. I wear mine for both training and competition, because they're so comfortable and fit me so great.
The Durafast suit doesn't stretch as much as the Lycra one, I'd say maybe 30% less, so I found myself more comfortable ordering a full size larger than I usually wear. These suits don't "loosen up" over time like the lycra suits, so if you're used to ordering a lycra suit that's a little on the snug side, knowing that in a few weeks of steady wear, it will loosen up a little and be a bit more comfortable, just be aware that this will not happen with a Durafast suit. |
