10/2/2014 Very short through torso, no matter what size

By Kristi D.

Fabric, design, and workmanship is the best of all the unitards offered on this site. However - and this is a huge however, the torso length is way off. So off, although I absolutely loved the feel of the fabric and loved the overall design, I had to return both the 32 and the 34 due to the torso length not even being close to what I can live with. I am average torso. I weigh between 99/100, 5'5-1/2", measurements are 31-23-32. I have broad shoulders and so I am always prepared for a fit being loose in the hips/waist in order to accommodate the shoulder fit. I don't like straps that cut into my collar bones. This suit is a wonderfully designed suit - but the torso is so out of proportion that no matter what size, the end result is ultra-tight shoulder and a stride fit that absolutely is intolerable. I tried my very best - ordered a 34 and still the stride was too short. So...I have no idea what body build this particular suit design will fit. I'm not short waisted, nor am I long waisted. Just narrow with broad shoulders.

8/19/2014 short through the torso

By Shan

I loved everything about this until I tried to get it on. The fabric is perfect and not shiny like other knee length/unitard suits I've tried. I was so excited that it had a high neck top so I wasn't scooping water in the top when swimming laps. But, I was so disheartened when I tried it on. The torso was about 3 inches too short. I know I have a slightly longer than normal torso but this was WAY too short. I couldn't even get the straps over my shoulders. I had actually ordered a size up given some of the reviews and still couldn't get it to fit. So, sadly I had to return it. If you shorter than usual torso, it'd probably be a fantastic suit.

5/4/2018 Exceed or Extreme?

By newbobber

I loved the two suits purchased previously but they began to sag too soon. DO NOT PUT THEM IN A DRYER, as apparently it ruins the rubber. I only did it once or twice for a few minutes, but they began to be unwearable. Also, rinse them absolutely and don't let any chlorine stay. I don't remember if my two previous were the "Extreme" or "Exceed" but this new "Exceed" is not as smooth on the outside as previous ones, and feels a bit cheaper. It also feels smaller. Even if I were thinner, at 5'3", this just fits my shoulders and were I taller, I can't imagine swimming in it. I love the weight of the suit and the dual layers, however.
