TYR Women's Hurricane Freak of Nature Triathlon Wetsuit

The Hurricane Freak of Nature wetsuit is much easier to put on with grocery store bags (not the thick California bags) on your feet and hands. It is much easier to slip the wetsuit on. You must wear gloves to pull it on as to not rip the delicate suit. It is a wonderful high performance triathlon wetsuit. I would buy it again but unfortunately TYR discontinued it several years ago. I purchased mine from the swimsuit outlet April 2020 not knowing it had been discontinued for a few years. I called the company and they cautioned against me on ordering it(after I already did) because the wetsuit material could be old and dried out. I went ahead and bought it anyways. Unfortunately they were right. It’s been 5 months and it is already starting to rip in the areas where it was folded for several years until I bought it. It had minor cracking or crays lines when I bought it from being folded. It is a very expensive suit to only have gotten 5 months of use out of it. I gave the suit four stars because if it wouldn’t have been stored in a warehouse somewhere and I had bought it several years prior it would be a fantastic suit. The swimsuit outlet should say on their website that it is an older discontinued suit. I just don’t understand how they could pass that on to customers knowing that it will crack . I would caution buyers and would highly recommend getting a newer TYR wet suit and not this older model. TYR is truly a fantastic brand.

My skin jealous of this suit and fearing it will be replaced. Not likely, but if I ever find myself skinless, I need not worry as long as I have this suit handy! Seriously, though, this suit is pretty darn bad@ss! Is it enough for me to pay a grand? Well, that's not likely going to happen either. My suit actually found me, sort of. Honestly, I was shocked that I had acquired a suit that was so far out of my realm. I was almost a bit intimidated by the idea that a suit really could be all that. Let me just say.....I AM DOLPHIN! Well, no, not really. But it does make me feel as if I could be! The other comment mentioned water "pooling" in the suit. Ummm, you either bought a suit that is WAY too big or you were incredibly rough getting it on/off and ripped it. (Which is a hard thing to do, since it is 5mm on much of the suit!) Heck, I have to really work at getting water inside the suit if I need to "adjust" quickly!
