I've never raced in a technical racing suit before, but would like to give it a try. I see that Yingfa Sharkskin leggings are significantly cheaper than American made technical suits (Speedo, Tyr). Has anyone raced in Yingfa Sharkskin? Will you please provide feedback? I don't expect them to be quite as good as the more expensive suits, but also don't want to regret trading my old lycra brief for Yingfa leggings. For example, I wouldn't race in standard jammers, because they are just longer versions of the same old water logged lycra briefs. Thanks!

I see they had a bid price how much did you end up paying?

I just received my YingFa swim suit does it ever fit nice. I changed my mind did not order a full body suit and have a waist to ankle style. I have the waist to ankle style XXL it fits me fine although my belly hangs over a tad. XXL is supposed to fit 34-36 waistand I am a 40 but do not have a huge butt. By the way that is not me in the picture.

I was surprised to know that YingFa has made into the international market. Myself also bought YingFa suit. I had thought this was an entire domestic brand.

$18 for my Yingfa. It was a buy it now with free shipping. Mine arrived last week. A bit short on me and I have love handles hanging out the sides but overall very nice fit. I love the green with yellow stitching colors (Oregon Ducks!)
How does the sizing go?
Do they fit like Speedo, TYR? Speedo always runs "smaller" on me. TYR just right. I just bought a 28 B70 and it fits great.
I was thinking of getting a Yingfa just to try it. The price is right! But I want to know what size to get.
Thanks.
I was under the impression, perhaps falsely, that FINA was banning the "arms" on suits?

Just a little note here the Speedo LZR is made in Portugal.

How in the world do you order on their site? Do they only sell through ebay?

Yingfa? They don't have a US distributor, so yes, you buy on ebay.

That is an ebay store, and the guy is in the US (most are shipping from Bejing), so you will have your suit in 3 days.
Don't get the black and orange leg skins, unless you want to be my twin at Zones.

For what it's worth, I wear the same size PS PRO leggings as Yingfa leggings. I don't know if you can assume it would be the same comparison for women's suits.
