I tried on the FS PRO today, it was very tight... even the XXL was tight, although I think the XL will work fine... but, but... it just seems like a full body paper suit... versus the FS 2 which has all the cool material, etc..
Which one is better? $450 dollars is the price here, is there a better way to order it? I'd rather wait for the LZR in the fall if that's the best I can do.

looks like LZR's won't be available till late july (they are delayed)
LZRs can be faster but they have issues
Like
what size to wear
several swimmers are wearing a couple sizes down
Zippers Break
I've personally seen 3 hineck LZR zippers break at meets
one in a race
in all cases the hineck LZR was zipped up (on tall men) and the teeth broke apart
It was quite difficult to pull the zippers back to the base
If you're pressed for time before a meet
I'd order a couple different sizes,
keep the one that fits best and return the other
rather than order the wrong size,
risk it not fitting, and having to return it for a better fit.
the goal is to
get the suit you're going to wear in your meet at least
a week or 2 before the meet starts
hope this helps
