EQ Swimwear Exceed Unitard Reviews

6/12/2014 EQ Exceed Unitard - Review

By Niko

The unitard fits nicely and it feels true to size. However, there is a slight issue with the combination of fabric that is used for the lining versus the outer shell, even though both are supposedly made of 100% polyester. Specifically, when wet, the lining is not as stretchy as the outer fabric, which causes an uncomfortable pulling in some areas. Also, the zipper is not covered on the inside, and it causes chafing along my spine during flip turns.

6/21/2018 Best swimsuit I've owned.

By cm

This is the best functional swimsuit I've ever owned.
About me:
Lap swimmer 3-4 hours a week. Primarily crawl or backstroke in an indoor chlorinated pool.
5'4", busty (GG, H) with a few extra pounds

The good:
Exceed quality is outstanding! I used my first for over 3 years.
It streamlines my curves as much as can be expected.
It's tight around the neck armpits and straps. Streamlines shape.
Has a high neck with no cleavage. Minimizes drag from the bust area.

The bad:
Zipping and unzipping requires good shoulder flexibility.
Tight around the neck armpits and straps. Must use body glide to prevent chafing on long swims (+45 minutes)
No bust support

My summary:
This is the best swimsuit I've ever owned. I wear it only when swimming laps, it's a functional tool, not a fashion statement. My favorite feature is the quality. My first Exceed suit lasted over 3 years, swimming at least 3 times a week. This suit is impervious to chlorine degradation. I had to replace every other suit I owned within 6 months. This one lasts!

This suit also streamlined my busty, curvy body enough that I significantly dropped my lap swim pace. I also like the full body coverage as I prefer not to show a lot of skin.

My first Exceed suit was possibly a size too small and chafed around the straps and armpits whenever I swam for longer than 45 minutes. Once I found bodyglide and applied to my skin under and around the straps, the suit was perfect.

Best lap swimsuit for a modest, busty woman.

8/27/2015 Short torso, but great otherwise

By Peggy

The suit is, as other reviewers state, pretty short in the torso. I didn't order a size up and maybe should have, but it fits nicely other than that. If you are long-waisted, definitely order up a size.

By Ne

The fit is true to size. A little tight in the neck are. Very satisfied with purchase
