Has anybody else heard about problems with the new Speedo Fastskin3 Women's suit? Apparently a Brazilian coach who is also a TV commentator (but based in Florida) is reporting on his blog that there's a defect in the women's suit bought before Feb 8th Just trying to get some factual information.

I get the feeling - and this is strictly conjecture on my part - but I get the feeling that Speedo's marketing & sales division drove the decisions surrounding this suit, rushing the suit onto market without due considerations for the technical details.
I think you're probably right. I sort of forget when the LZR was introduced, but my recollection is that it was not readily available before Trials in 2008. In fact I think Speedo had loaner suits available for those who couldn't get one before Trails (which was nearly everyone other than Speedo sponsored athletes). This time around it seems like Speedo was intent on cashing in well before Trials started and it seems like they may have rushed the product to market before it was ready.
