    No special caps and goggles to complete the system? :) Still seems expensive for my tastes, for a jammer. I think I'll give the Yingfa a whirl this scy season.

    According to their size chart a size 32 is for 6'1 to 6'4 and 160 to 200 lbs ?
  • when I wear the Tyr Tracer Light, no riding low issues at all.

  • It seems like the current suits have a tendency to ride too low (i.e, "plumber butt") Depending on one's generation, this is sometimes seen as a feature, not a flaw.

    I think the other benefit these high-waisted suits might provide is keeping water out. It seems like the current suits have a tendency to ride too low (i.e, "plumber butt") and this provides a nice channel for water to enter the back of the suit and collect in the crotch area. Nice, I'm going to start blaming the suit instead of my ass size.

    I thought "Plumber Butt" was why the ladies get into masters swimming in the first place? :D Since I do not have a butt this of course does not apply to me!

Why don't hey just lower the waist line all the way down to the knee and the suit will consist of just two leg bands? Won't that be interesting??? :bump:
