i swim quite regularly and go through suits about every two months; i've been ordering these for years for the fit and comfort, but when they lose their lycra, they become loose and rather revealing--adhering like a thin second skin in areas and sagging in others.tip: throw them out when the lycra starts flaking off. luckily, they're not that expensive.
Maybe it is my slender frame, but this suit seems to slip off when I push off the wall with any amount of real force. The water get in under the band just below the small of my back and next thing I know a lot of white skin is shown to the world. The string is very short so I have to be very careful when I tie it. Not enough to double knot it. The suit feels smaller than other. As long as I have a secure knot I am fine. I would not dive into the pool with this one. Too risky. And dive board/platform is out of the question.
I like to wear my briefs around the house and for swimming. I am a little concerned that this fabric may not wear as well as some, but it is still new so I don't know yet.
This racer fits my son just as it should. The sizing is excellent and the style is great. It wasn't easy to find a red and black racer bathing suit now that jammers are so popular and I was leary of buying online, but I'm glad I did.
The product was delivered in a timely manner & it fit as I expected. I am particularly happy because 40" brief suits are difficult to locate! :-)
I like the look and feel of the swim suit.
