I received my grab bag suits the other day from EQ and I'm thrilled with them; they fit and I received one solid and two patterns.
I'm glad you like your EQ suits. Getting the grab bag is like opening a Christmas present.
I ordered some and can't wait to see what I get this time.

I have been getting my suits (and other swim stuff - goggles, fins, etc.) for about 25 years from Bill Hugg AllSwim at - http://www.wbhswim.com. He has a good selection of Masters' suits for all shapes and sizes - and his prices are very good.
He is also a really nice guy who was a pharmacist at one time, sold swim stuff on the side, and then built his swim focus into a fairly large business.
Ive been buying exclusively from agonswim.com for years with daily use i go thru about 2 suits a year in a pool that would kill the average suit in 4 weeks, they dont use standard 100% polyester but they do use 80%polyester as standard... no nylon.. (standard from speedo) i buy lots of grab bag suits, and have even had some unique custom ones made, one pair of jammers i got for lifeguarding, 8 hours a day of wearing, and after 12 weeks there still like new, minus 1/4 in of a loose stitch... (easy fix)
anyway, I love their stuff but youll have to get your parkas elsewhere...
i ordered a lycra suit from swimoutlet for 17.95!!!
i was so excited to get it
and i waited, and waited.
but i never receieved a confirmation e-mail
after notifying swimoutlet, they informed me the item was out of stock and i would have to cancel
:(
i've had a couple of other experiences like this with this company before.
Got two Fastskins from the Speedo website for $70 ea. Used to be $240.
These were good enough for the olympians in Sydney, so good enough for me.
I also use http://www.swimmerschoice.com/
I bought my drag suit from speedo.com three years ago. I am still wearing it and it is only now starting to show signs of wear as some threads start to come out of the seams. The color has not faded.
Other than that, I haven't had to buy a suit in the 21st century. ....
Don't you still need to buy some sort of brief to wear under the drag suit? I definitely agree about them lasting long, I buy drag suits from Keifer (they have a mesh drag suit for about $15), and they usually go missing before any signs of wear. I think I've had the one I'm now using for 2-3 years.
But for modesty reasons, I always wear a brief under any drag suit..... Plus if we're doing a fast set, I'll sometimes take off the drag suit for part of it, and see the difference it makes in my times.
Of course I have to reply on this one since I do team sales for this swim suit dealer. I buy all my stuff from Poco Loco Swim Shop. We sale suits to people all over the world and I will work with anyone on trying to find what they want and at a great price. I will take individual orders, but I specialize in working great team deals with Speedo, TYR, Nike, Arena, Dolfin, Finis, you name it. Send me a private message if you want to learn more.
Remember "Poco Loco Swim Shop" :woot:
