So, I am going to Spring Nats this year and started to look for a new tech suit as I've been using the same one since Nationals in San Antonio in 2015. Does anyone else get sticker shock when you see what the going rate is for these suits? I am absolutely flabbergasted that such a flimsy scrap of fabric, that is only intended to last for a few meets, can cost $300-$400+. When full length suits were legal, I can remember paying around $75-$100 for a suit if I was willing to buy a suit from the previous year's line, but ever since knee-length suits have become the only option, the prices continue to climb. Even clearance and previous generation models run $200-$300. As much as I want to be competitive and use swimwear that will help me perform better, I'm thinking that I'm either going to wear my old almost-transparent tech suit or compete in a workout suit.
I think that the Tracer Light must only be for male suits. I couldn't find a female version, but thank you for the suggestion. I also looked at suits when the membership renewal discounts were in effect, but even with the discount, couldn't bring myself to spend that kind of money. I guess that I was hoping that the prices would eventually become more reasonable.
I did find a TYR AP12 (I think that was the name). There is a $100 price difference between the 30 and the 30L. Can anyone comment on how different those sizes are?
