Actually I don't yet know how long it (speedo endurance) will last. I got two last March and the only part showing any wear is the stitching. It's starting to change color, but still intact. I was going by what my last coach told me.
My experience is polyester suits hold up way, way better. Much longer than twice as long. An added bonus is the color never fades. I've been using my current workout suit exclusively since I bought it at SC Nationals in Ft. Lauderdale (May 2005). It's finally close to retirement. The suit itself is still fine. The weak link seems to be the stitching, which is unraveling. But, heck, hard to complain about getting 1.5-2 years out of a single suit.
