I don't think these will wear out any time soon but I'm buying another one or two anyhow.

I wear 29/30 pants and ordered these in 30.  Fit is great.  I'm only 5'6" and these come to right above my knees.

More comfortable and durable than lycra and shed water easily.

As I said, great fit!

Felt a little tight near the knees but after a few workouts it broke in nicely.  I'd give it a 5-star rating but hey...it's just a swimsuit.

Don't go smaller than your normal pant size.  TYR already adjusts for that.

It seems the best general rule of thumb for swim suit sizing is to go up one size from street pant waist size.  For me that is a 34, which fits well -- but the elastic bottom of the leg opening is too tight (leaves a mark on my legs).  I also tried a 36 -- leg openings just right, but the length is down to my knees (I'm 5'9", 155lb.) and there are several places where the suit has small folds of excess material.  Too bad, because it's a good suit, well made, minimal seams, with enough stretch to be comfortable in the crotch.

I bought this item for my husband. He said the fit was true to size and the quality was great.

Bought this for my 8 and 11 year old sons and found them both too big.  11 year old took the 8 year olds and i sent back the other.  Quality is good though.  Recommend a size smaller.
