Hi, I swim 3 to 5 times a week. This is my third TYR suit and I have to say they hold up remarkably well to chlorine etc. Everyone I speak with buys their swim gear here so you all must be doing something right! I, for one, have been pleased with the selection and service.
I have worn TYR suits in the past and liked them a lot, I like the cut and the way they fit my body much better than Speedo. I swim 5 days a week and a lycra/nylon suit only lasts 6 months at best. Two years ago I got some polyester suits (I bought what was cheapest) and they have held up well. But this time I thought I would see what a TYR poly suit was like and I am very pleased it fits just like the lycra/nylon suits. Now the poof is, will it hold up?? I wish they made it in more colors/patterns I am tired of black and navy blue.
The product fits well and lasts longer.
These are great briefs made of wonderfully resistant material. If there is one problem with them it's that they feel a bit too small. I tried a 32 first, which is my normal size, but it was way too tight in the thighs, not in the waist. But the 34 fits great. I would recommend getting two sizes and returning the one that doesn't fit as well, just to be sure. Otherwise, a great product. I will buy it again.
Bought some Tyr durafast briefs about two years ago and they ran small -- had to size up from 34 to 36, and they then fit well. Recently I bought two more (one poly splice, one plain) and now the 36 is too loose in the seat so that it flaps about when swimming and everything can move about. Returned one 36 for a 34, which got rid of the loose seat problem, but the waist is a bit tight. It would seem that Tyr has either changed its pattern or a new factory is involved that doesn't quite make them the same as they once were. (I did notice the seam at the base of the crotch has changed, and it seems like the rise is longer as well.) I prefered the old style/mfr, as it gave a better fit and look. Still a good, durable suit however; it just could be better
Good coverage for a brief suit. Works well under a jammer that is worn thin.
