All fit differently. I recently looked into a new suit and tried on all that were out at the time. Some pinched in spots, others were too big. I have an issue of a gap on my lower back that normally is okay in practice but not when I&#39;m racing (I also do long distance free and 400 IM).

My point is, you need to try some on to see what is comfortable on you.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/88227?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 11 Feb 2008 08:58:55 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:fc1f0be2-b0fb-4686-9a20-dec5607e88bcFormer MemberAre you looking inside any specific price range?<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/88260?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 11 Feb 2008 04:33:59 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:687a0206-0851-41c4-814e-fa3b3ce4635eMuppetThere are plenty of excellent choices offered by USMS&#39; sponsors<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/88249?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 11 Feb 2008 04:02:08 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:919dd25a-08aa-4542-a8e0-f3992d99b356pedergrahamAre you looking inside any specific price range?
