I am curious to what your preferences are regarding Speedo or TYR products (or other). I myself am a Speedo girl, and always have been. However, I recently bought a discounted TYR reversible suit for practice and it lasted way longer than any Speedo ever has. I'm tempted to buy TYR again, but do I dare switch loyalties? I like Speedo styles better - I've never been big on brand names at all, except when it comes to swimming - there's just something about Speedo.
But what the heck, I'll join in. For practice suits, I have zero preference. I've worn Speedo, Nike, and TYR practice speedos and have been sufficiently happy with all of them, and was a Speedo tech suit zealot from the 90s up until 2016. In 2016 I started branching out, and now I've worn tech suits from A3, TYR, Finis, and Adidas, and am currently debating between an Arena and a TYR for Nats in April. If Speedo hadn't kept treading water on the LZR Racer series for so long in the 2012-2016 timeframe, I'd have likely stuck with Speedo for my tech suits. As it is, about the only thing I think Speedo has going for them in their tech suits is they generally have the best coverage for my big butt and they tend to be a bit more comfortable for all-day wear at Nats than the others I've worn.
