Although I have a speedo like this one in the same size, this one seemed too small. I will send it back for a larger size
I highly recommend this suit for it's back coverage (it completely covers your back), comfort and flattering fit. The only down side is getting in and out of the suit can be a bit tricky due to the zipper feature. Having said that, I would still highly recommend this swim suit.
Although the suit is made well, the zipper is very difficult to zip by yourself. It is the reverse of a normal suit. You have to catch the zipper at the top and it zips down. If i would have known that i most likely would not have purchased the suit. it is durable with light fabric and would be great if you have someone to help you zip up (or down I guess!).
My daughter says that this is too large for her. She wore it once and the fabric gives a bit.
I love this bathing suit..it is especially good for people like me who are sensitive to the sun and have to protect their back and chest from the sun.....I am not a large person but I had to buy a size 40 and I wish they would carry more of this size and other colors too.
I don't know what Speedo is thinking. The new fabric is too soft and stretchy. Too easy for water-polo opponents to grab a handful and drag me around. And after a week-end meet, it never returned to its original shape. PLUS the zipper closing from the top makes getting into this suit a 2 person task.
