First, I have to admit this saved me. Pools are still closed here but I was able to start swimming open water in 56F/13c water in early may with this top and some cheap surf shorts I already had. I opted for the 2 piece because I already had the shorts, I have a really long torso and never sure how to size a typical wetsuit, and I wanted more temperature flexibility. For all these reasons, the too is great. That said, I was a bit disappointed in the quality for the price. After 2-3 weeks with 3 swims/wk (about an hour each), the orange (which are decals) are all peeling off and hanging in strands. The neck chaffs metoo -to be expected and resolved with KT tape underneath. Because I didn't have their pants to velcro it on to, it did ride up a touch, but that didn't bother me much. It comes to just below my waist (noting long torso). I ordered by chest size - it looked miniature out of the box but was perfect in the water. I was really happy the sleeves were long enough.

If you have large-ish breasts (I am 36D) do not buy this! I sized up from my normal medium size to a large, and still a big ouch for my chest. My flat chested girlfriends love these Orcas-- but if you have large breasts beware. I would have sized up to XL but the sleeves were super long already, so no go.

I use this for both open water and triathlons. It is pliable and easy to get on and off.

I am a tri newbie and bought the 2 piece Orca wetsuit since i am a medium on top and small on the bottom, and I could get a better fit. I was worried that the top and bottom wouldn't stay together- but no problem at all. There is velcro that attaches the top and bottom. I was swimming in 59 degree water and my body was very comfortable. It is fairly easy to get on and off as there is a lot of stretch.

Following the Orca sizing guidelines worked for me. I typically wear a medium in shirts but had to buy an extra large to fit me. The suit felt great during the swim and stayed attached to the bottom piece.
