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.

Pardon me for “hitting a nerve” with everyone, but the whole idea of people going on a spending binge over the LZR, Fastskin, etc. craze really seems like something I would be reading about in MAD magazine (which is a parody on the almost endless number of idiosyncrasies of American society). I recall Mr. P.T. Barnum’s (one of the founders of the Barnum & Bailey’s Circus) old saying that “There’s a sucker born every minute”.
Reflecting on his words, I can’t help but think that the people at Speedo, Tyr, Nike, etc. are sitting in their corporate offices laughing until their bellies ache over the thought of all the people that are slapping down big bucks and carrying their latest & greatest "techy" swim toys out of the store with a huge grin on their face. By comparison, the suit manufacturers are making all those evil, nasty, price gouging oil company execs look like a bunch of saints!!! :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:
By the way, I can’t wait until someone sues the suit makers (like what a bunch of the “I can’t wait to get one” consumers did with Apple and the iPhone debut last year) because they allegedly “ripped off” the first buyers by cutting the price of the LZR in ½ just after two months of it first coming on the market. :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:
