This suit is the next innovation in Tyr''s solid square leg line. I like this one as well as my previous suit with just Durafast textile. The Elite suit has a little more more spandex nylon in it and has less sheen for a totally matte black appearance, which I prefer.
The Tyr square leg line looks better than comparable shorts from Sporti and Speedo. They have just a little more inseam down the leg. They are excellent for lap swimming.
More spandex should mean more stretch. Unfortunately, this suit fits more snugly than my similar size square leg suit with Durafast fabric. That being said, the waist band and leg bands stay right in place without rolling. I like these shorts and hope they stretch out just a bit so they don''t feel so tight.
