I am planning on getting a new tech suit. So, any advice and information on favorites would be greatly appreciated.:applaud:

I have very little experience with women's tech suits, I must admit, but I find it useful to review your needs and budget before going to town. What do you want from a suit?
Compression
Cut
Coverage
Colour
Longevity
Comfort of movement
and what are you willing and able to pay for it? I wear Arena or Diana tech jammers, because these makes suit me. Speedo just doesn't sit right across my back and I get a stream of water down the waist band every turn. I have a Finis suit which is also good.
I say find a brand that suits you, and go for the most advanced model within your budget. I don't know if an expensive suit makes me swim faster, but it feels that way. Compression and the water repellent fabric seem to be the most important factors. Also,having a good suit keeps me motivated; how can I skip practice when I've spent all that money on a bathing costume :)? (Like anyone would ever skip practice...)
Hope this was useful!:2cents:
PS You probably shouldn't buy jammers...
