Hey folk,
First, to moderators--I'm not sure if this is swimming related enough to be in this section. Please feel free to move as needed.
To all...
Another suit is about to bite the dust--fortunately I bought it on sale for less than $30, so I'm not complaining too much.
HOWEVER, now that it's time to buy a new suit, I'm thinking I want to get something polyester, as it will last longer. The last polyester suit I had lasted me a couple years (although admittedly, I was on and off with swimming during that period). That suit fit well b/c I was able to go to a swim shop and try suits on. That's how I prefer to buy them but the only swim shop in my area that sells polyester suits is also a trek from where I live and I don't have a lot of running around time.
So in the interest of time, I probably do have to order something online and wanted to get some opinions on polyester suits that last well AND aren't too high cut (first polyester suit I had I bought online and wasn't crazy about that aspect of it). I'm not 16 and while reasonably slim, I don't feel like showing too much of myself (ha!).
What suit(s) have you had success with? What suits would you stay away from?
Thanks for any info!
p.s. If I get lycra suits, I tend to get dark colors so that when they fade, there's still plenty of "dark" left. But they still don't last long enough.
Thanks for all the responses! It's good to know so many great deals exist, even for suits whose list prices are pretty expensive. I thought I was doing well with the suit before the one I just bought--$26 for a lycra Tyr suit. But it got eaten so fast--my pool tends to do that to lycra--that I decided to go for polyester even if it meant paying more.
