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.
Hey Chris
While swimming is truly a fine athletic art, it is also the slowest of any sport. Compared with track events, even fast swimming is the moral equivalent of "plate tectonics". Although the statistics (as measured in percentages) indicate that swimming has become faster over the past 10 years, it is still a very low velocity sport. If sheer speed is the only objective, I would go into some land based activity like the 400 meter run.
Unfortunately, athletics has turned into some kind of Freudian exercise in which people obtain gratification through the connotation of superiority instead of making true achievements in their personal or career life. Sports has also become a manifestation of international militarism such as the arms race during the cold war era.
Like people throwing away big $$$ on expensive sports cars just for the emotional thrill of being faster on the street, this suit technology craze seems to be an example of how Freudianism has crept its way into swimming.
Unless they are swimming in $$$ (no pun intended), any Average Joe who would shell out over $450 for an LZR has a very serious problem with managing their personal finances and they will ultimately wind up drowning in debt (another pun not intended).
However I bet the suit makers are hysterically laughing their way to the bank with the big bucks they’ve made off all the suckers who fell for this suit technology craze!!! :lmao::lmao::lmao:

Yeah, there's a bunch of real suckers holding USMS records and Top Ten rankings wearing these suits. They have no idea what they're doing ... "Judgmental" is rather mild for this post. Where do you get "connotations of superiority exactly?" Quite a leap ... Sounds like you have a superiority complex from your decision NOT to wear the suit.
Jonathan: I like the Pro better. It's much lighter and it's supposed to fit very very tight. I'd order a size down from an FS I or FS II.
