Alright, I'm thinking of breaking down and buying a fastskin suit. So what is the most economical way to purchase one? Ebay? Some discount online store? Any ideas? Kevin

Though the young whippersnappers seem to like the jammers for breaststroke, the USMS athlete's mature body configuration (okay, beergut) may benefit from the farmer john style. Thanks for the tip. I found the fastskin I "bodyskins" on sale for $90. And I was thinking the same thing about holding back the flab. Definitely the best price I found. I couldn't find a place to try them on so I took a chance and got the XL-Long size. Hopefully it fits right. Kevin

Kevin yeah I saw the fsI body skin for $90 also, im seriously thinking about getting it but, I dont know what size to get. Whats the difference between a medium and a medium-long?

    On the size issue..... I have the tag from the Fastskin that I just bought. The tag says that the long sizes are designed for long torso people. The oddity is that I bought a men's long and I don't have a long torso- I'm mostly legs. I did try on several pairs before I settled on that size. Have you had an aquablade? I ask because there is a size equivalent between the aquablade and a fastskin......It might help. :)

    yeah, I wear a size 28 aquablade. And where does the torso begin and end, so I can measure mine, because on the size chart it has measurments for that.
