its always a balance when it comes to technical suits but this is a good suit at an unbelievable price. I hope you used the extra 10% off code. I am sure you will like the suit and I hope you have a great meet. I hope we cross paths at Nationals. Look for me in the slow heats of breaststroke. :-)

Well, I bought this suit, and I can see why it is MSRP $220. Serious compression, but stretchy enough to fit my thighs and not ride low in the back. It's a little tight in the man parts, but not too bad. I can't wait to swim in it. Fit-wise way better than the Yingfas I have. I got the 32. its always a balance when it comes to technical suits but this is a good suit at an unbelievable price. I hope you used the extra 10% off code.

I think Fs II will give you the fit in the legs you are looking for.

Metro swim shop has the Nike hydra3 on sales for $59. www.metroswimshop.com/product.TDSS0060black.htm It's an awesome suit and at $59 it's incredibly cheap. I wear a 30 Nike drag suit and drop to a 28 for there competition suits. Well, I bought this suit, and I can see why it is MSRP $220.

Speedo Endurance suits which I think are stiff & actually restrict motion, but might last longer than suits made out of nylon & or lycra . Those endurance shorts I can barely lift my foot high enough to put on a fin. But they do last

a 30 or 32 should work aquablades and FS IIs are way more stretchy than the Speedo Endurance suits which I think are stiff & actually restrict motion, but might last longer than suits made out of nylon & or lycra . here's SFF Tip Suit Yourself forums.usms.org/showthread.php here's all my SFF tips forums.usms.org/showthread.php

I wore the old Yingfa today and it was definitely impeding circulation to my feet. jimbo, I see the problem, your not supposed to wear it around your ankles :) Metro swim shop has the Nike hydra3 on sales for $59. www.metroswimshop.com/product.TDSS0060black.htm It's an awesome suit and at $59 it's incredibly cheap. I wear a 30 Nike drag suit and drop to a 28 for there competition suits. They also have the blueseventy xii on sale also which is a little more money $130 but again a very nice suit. If you use the 10% off coupon they provide they are even cheaper obviously. I have used the aquablade previously and did not like it due to lack of compression. I also dropped one size for the aquablade.

jimbo, I see the problem, your not supposed to wear it around your ankles :) Thanks for the tip. Might also explain my poor kicking skills. But wow, that looks like a great deal. I am going to try the Nike suit.
