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.
I got my first Finis suit recently since Ive been on the look out for a comparable suit to Speedo Endurance. Prices have gone up and I’ve yet to find a better, longer lasting suit. Finis is not necessarily less expensive, but I found one on sale. So far I’m very pleased! It’s 100% polyester, and that’s what I prefer, but not all 100% poly suits are up the same. TYR 100% poly last me no more than 3-6 months even with the best of suit care - loses shape, stretching.

wow. that's an old thread! I am very Arena loyal. You can get their polyester suits that last years! (like so long that I get sick of seeing the print) for $20 when you wait for their sales. They do big blow out sales multiple times a year directly on their own website.
Thank you! Some suits don't have as much bottom coverage as I'd like and it's hard to tell by seeing the models on the SwimOutlet website. Do you think Arena offers good coverage or are their suits more "cheeky". I just got a Finis 100% poly suit and I really like it. I can now add it to my list along with Speedo Endurance. The Finis has lasted nicely about 3 months now. That's a good sign.
