This is a fantastic suit - it''s the first one I''ve bought, and I was expecting great results, and I got them. Once you''ve got it on, it''s comfortable to wear. The longest race I''ve worn it for is the 1000 y free, but I was hardly aware that I was wearing something different from practice, except for that extra speed. It didn''t chafe anywhere, and felt good to swim in. Actually, it felt great to swim in. There is one problem, and that''s the sizing. The first one I bought based on the sizing charts, and it was much too small. I returned it and got another one two sizes larger. It took me 5 minutes to get it on - my coach says that if I could get it on that fast, it''s too big! So maybe I need the one in between. I just wish that the sizing system were the same as with regular suits. In daily workouts I wear a 38, in meets I squeeze into a 36 (I''ve always bought Speedos because I know they fit). This suit I ended up with is a 32, but it seems I could maybe go with a 30. Doesn''t make sense. BTW - I''m an older woman whose has children and hips to show for it. The suit is roomy in the chest and shoulders, but that''s not where I need the compression!

I like the styling of this suit more than many of the knee skins. It does not have sheer panels or make the swimmer''s hips look huge. It takes some effort to put on. (The joke on the deck was that it was a family project!) The results in the pool were fabulous. My daughter said it made her feel fast and her times backed that up. I plan to purchase another one of these suits before they disappear.

Used size chart - still too small |

I am a first time buyer of a kneesuit. I know they are supposed to be tight and time consuming to get on. I measured my daughter (5''6", 120 lbs) and she matched the size 25. She is proportional and always gets a good fit in Speedo suits so i thought this was a good bet. She wears a size 30 fastskin II. The 25 in this suit was just too small. It has barely any stretch to it. If we had gotten it on her she wouldn''t have been able to move. I am disappointed that the sizing chart wasn''t accurate. I am glad that I can return the suit, just don''t know how much to size up and how many tries it will take to get a proper fit.

This suit was a pretty good suit. I had always gotten bluseventys which were great suits but I wanted to try something new. The LZR fit great once i put it on and was comfortable even when i didn''t swim. But, once i swam, water came into my thighs and chest area making it uncomfortable. Otherwise it'' s a great suit.

This suit is probably one of the better suits you can buy at this price. You NEED to get the appropriate size though. The size you buy in the suit is very important. You have to measure yourself. I measured myself according to the Speedo website. I usually wear a 28 or 30 in practice suits and a 26 in competition suits. Automatically I assumed I should get a 24 and because I''m tall(5''9) I was gonna get a long, but I decided to measure myself anyways. I was so happy I did because my body was the same as the size 25, and not even a 25 long. The suit took me about 10 minutes to put on but that''s because I just wanted to be careful. It fit me like a glove, no bubbles anywhere and I could still move comfortably( comfortable for being in a fastskin anyways) PROS- compressed really well great for big meets *if you get the right size, its comfortable and works great you can still move it in mostly CONS- feels like it could rip at any moment, I guess it just worries me so I take extra care while putting it on. OVERALL its a great suit and was totally worth the money P.S Its whole "10 race" limit is definitely true , don''t try to wear your suit past that because it will only hinder you. You can maybe squeeze 12 races out of it before you should retire it

This suit was my first fast suit and I love it! Most of my high school team has this suit, so I got one last year as a freshman in high school. I''m 5''1, 110 pounds, and usually wear a size 28 for practice suit and 26 in meet suits. I ordered a 23 in the suit and it fit pretty well. It was a little hard to get over my legs but only took me about 3 minutes to get it on. One it was on, it felt tight but not restricting. I dropped a lot of time last year, and after using it once, rinsed it in cold water and let it dry. I used it this year too and it worked just as well! Only complaint is that it''s not as tight as it could be in the back right above my butt, but a smaller size would definitely be too small everywhere else. Overall, great suit! All my teammates love it. Make sure you check the sizing charts before ordering (I used the one on the speedo website, not sure if it''s the same as the one here).
