There are two, almost identical, suits in this category:
The Speedo Solid Endurance Super Proback (polyester fabric) and THIS ONE, the Speedo Solid Lycra Super Proback (lycra fabric). The lycra fabric has a smooth feel and shiny look to it; the polyester fabric is more matte, with a coarser feel.
They say the polyester "endurance" fabric will last much longer. It's a bit more expensive and is cut bigger, with a looser fit. The butt, however, is NOT LINED in the polyester suit.
The lycra suit has a tighter fit and is LINED in the back - Fantastic! Hurray!! - but is very close cut in the chest area (Many commented on this - there needs to be more fabric under the arms, especially for the larger sizes).
I love the smooth, shiny lycra, and although the "endurance" polyester is supposed to last longer, I had a feeling it would stretch out too soon in the water, as it is already feeling a bit too roomy on dry land.
LOVE my lycra Speedo. The suit holds me in and fits well. Look forward to many months - perhaps a year? - of swimming in it twice a week. And because the behind is - once again - LINED, it won't fray and sheer as quickly as the one I'm replacing. Highly recommend.

I swim laps, slowly, for about 45-60 mins a day. This suit doesn't pinch or roll off the shoulders in any of the swimming movements I do. I'm not a competitive swimmer.

The fit of the torso is spot on, but the straps are too long. We had to take in about an inch on each side. Other than that, we are really pleased with the suit.

The Speedo suits made from these "new" fabrics seem to run a bit small. Maybe I'm just used to my old stretched out suit.... We'll se how it wears.
