First time poster!
Swam through college, took ~6 year break. Dipped my feet back in this summer and took the plunge and joined a Masters training group when I moved in August. Short-term goal is an SCM meet in November and I figured I might as well get a decent suit for it... little did I know that tech suits have gotten more varied since even super-suit 2009!
When I was swimming, I was 6'1", 175# and fit pretty well in a 28 jammer. I'm now 195# with a lot of that extra weight in my legs/butt from the weightlifting I've done in the interim, so I'm definitely not a 28 anymore (trust me, I tried with one of my old suits, didn't work!).
Anyone have any insight on how some of the different tech suits run these days? And/or any personal preferences on "budget" suits in the
The Tyr Tracer Lite is a pretty good suit for the price (around $159 but I got one on sale for $109). Ditto for the Finis Fuse jammer (~$120). I am 6' 1" now and my weight varies from 175 to 185. I wear size 26 in the Tyr and 28 or 30 in the Fuse.
