Hi!
The last "fast" suit I've ever purchased was an aquablade. I know that there are a multitude of new suits out - I'm interested in the ones by TYR and Speedo. I have been out of the water for a bit and need some updating.
Can anyone offer some pros and cons about the Speedo FastskinII and TYR suits (Aquashift and Aquapel)? Price, do they fit small or large, quality - whatever you can offer!
Thanks,

I’ve been swimming on and off for about 35 years and I believe the best (and fastest) suit is what ever is the most comfortable. Being a guy, that is a conventional racer brief.
I’ve tried some of the new high tech suits and aside from being uncomfortable, lab testing concludes they aren’t much faster (see link below).

Plus, there are many manufacturers for the conventional style suits and they are a LOT less expensive (since my athletic budget is rather limited to buying the "plain vanilla" suits).
