An older customer as I needed firm support in the chest...and this suit is superb for such. But my main reason for purchase was because of the new-age material. I'm in the pool for up to five hours every day, and the bottom material, after only a month, has already begun to degrade. I'm still seeking a suit that lasts in the chlorinated conditions!
The suit keeps my torso nice and warm for outdoor winter pool swimming (California). I usually take a size 28 lyrcra swimsuit, however, I needed a size 30 in this particular suit; it fits well across the chest but is a little loose on the bottom.
I feel sexy and alive!!!! It fits like a dream!
If my body was perfectly perportioned it would have been a great suit. The additional material on the top does not stretch much for not recommenced for large breasted women.
I bought this one for my duaghter, a waterpolo fiend. While it is well made and the fit is true she finds that the Avenger is better for Waterpolo. The neoprene on the Storm 1/2 zip does not go all the way to the bottom, thoses cheaters can grab the suit and pull the wearer. For ordinary swimming this suit is a good choice as it fits well, last a long time, even in the heavily chlorinated pools. Most users will be pleased, this company ships promptly, has an easy to deal with web site that allows order tracking and good prices. The only con I can say about this suit is that it's cousin, the TYR Avenger, does a better job in the sport of Waterpolo. An atractive, new looking suit, great for the beach, the 1/2 zipper is strong and allows downsizing, if desired.
