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've never had anything but a Speedo S2000, aka the cat suit, back in 1995!
The S2000 is still my fave fast suit! Wish they still made them... ;)

I was so excited when I got my S2000!!!! I wore that thing out!
I got my Yingfa suit in the mail yesterday off of ebay--straight from China--I had planned to wear it at zones but am going to have to save it since I can't go now. I also have a FSii that I am going to wear and compare the 2 suits to each other.
It took 10 days. If I like it and want to order another one, I will go through George. The price was lower than what he charges (even with the shipping), but I didn't like having to wait and not being sure if I was going to get it. I think that George's prices are more fair in terms of how quickly you get the suit and also he is a fellow masters swimmer so we should support him.

How long did it take to arrive from China?

We are shipping from USA. In most cases you can get your YINGFA or NSA suits in 2-3 days.

Well I think Yingfa can be the best choice in terms of durability but I will give strength to Speedo

Any one know if they will be legal for 2010? Just ordered a pair of Jammers myself!

YingFa's are approved three suits yesterday and several more before Jan 10th.
Wich suits did they approve for 2010? I bought a YingFa "aquablde" and love it. I want to buy a Sharkskin, but want to make sure its going to be legal. Its only 1% different than a Fastskin, so I wouldnt think there would be a problem.
I am very happy with the aquablade. Better quality than I expected, as good as any other suit I've had (and better than some!) And cant beat the price for sure!!!:applaud:
