So I just got my Yinga 9402 in the mail.
Me, too! I ordered from swimdownhill late on Monday and the new suit arrived on Thursday. Got the size L again, and after about two minutes of struggle was able to tie it on. Boy, I need to drop some weight! haha

So I just got my Yinga 9402 in the mail. Fabric looks thick and nothing like other competition suits I've worn but I will give it a try next weekend at some of the events I'm not too fond of. I'll have a more complete review of the suit after that weekend.
I also have a Yingfa jammer that I wear for meets, but it is probably time for a new one. The first time I wore it, I think it took at least 5 min to put on. And it never seemed to go up that high in the back... But the last time I wore it, it slipped right on.
I've also ordered from George. I think we exchanged a few PM's to get the sizing correct. If I remember correctly, I got a M.
Anyway, I tried on the suit at home after I got it. I swam the 1500m in a brief then went into the locker room to change into the jammer. I dove in for the 100m free having never worn it in the water, and felt like I was swimming on/above the water.
For normal workouts, I either wear just a brief or a brief with a dragsuit over it. If I go with the dragsuit combo, and we do fast swims, I'll sometimes take off the dragsuit for the last repeat or 2 just to see + feel the difference it makes.
And I also agree on the vanity sizing thing. Not just with swimsuits, but with most slacks. I ordered a size 28 in the USMS-Nike GTD suit (a brief), and it fits perfectly. If I didn't bike and have big thighs, I'd probably fit in a small jammer too...
One of the men's magazines (either Details or Esquire) did a story on vanity sizing a few months ago...what some stores sell as a 36 waist can be as large as a real 42!
