Arena Boys' Powerskin R-EVO Tech Suit Brief Swimsuit

Our son is a very slender 13 year old with narrow hips and a 22 inch waist. We bought him a size 24 and glad we did. He loves them and we have to make sure he wears them only for competition, otherwise he would wear them all the time.

My son is 9 and typically wears a youth 24 or 26 in Arena briefs depending on style. I know tech suit sizing is a bit smaller and they are supposed to be worn very tight and be hard to get into. I went with a size 26. The waist is about 4 inches across laying flat and will not begin to stretch enough to even get it over one thigh. No way it would begin to go past the knees without ripping at the waist. I don't think this suit would even fit on a baby. Can't imagine what a 22 or 24 looks like. Very disappointed.

This suit is very slick, low rise, and form fitting. I wear 28 in other Arena briefs, I ordered a 28 in this brief, and it was a real struggle to get on. Once on, it was tolerably comfortable considering how tightly it fit. I recommend going up at least one size for a tight fit, and two sizes for a comfortable fit.

I don't know who is sizing these suits but they fit a build a bear. They are laughable. If you wear a 24 try ordering a 36. No joke. Just choose something else. We got a 22 and a 24. they were basically the sam size and smaller than an 18 in speedo. Ordered a 26 and 28. They were essentially the same size. Fabric has no stretch. Not sure who is actually able to wear this.

I ordered this for my son. He is a very small 13 y.o. and loves the for of arena suits. He wore this suit for the 500 free, didn't warm up in it, literally only wore it for the 500 free and then took it off. When he took it off, the interior opening for the drawstring was fraying and looks like it could rip. I know the tech suits aren't made to many times, but we were really hoping it would make it through one championship season, let alone one time.
