Hi all. I'm considering purchasing an entry-level (read--cheap) tech suit for this summer's slate of open water swims and I'm trying to decide whether hydrophobic fiber or taped seams is more important. Any thoughts/experience? Thanks!

  • Personally, comfort and fit are more important that fiber or seams. But all of these pale in comparison to training and technique. And whatever you choose, if you're swimming in sanctioned events, make sure the suit has a FINA afforded stamp.
