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.

I think we may be somewhat "professional sports obsessed" but what "first world" country isn't? Professional sports obsession may be the byproduct of not having to worry about survival/war/famine on a daily basis... That isn't necessarily a bad thing...
The U.S. has been a "First World" country in the past, but I seriously doubt if it will continue to be one in the future. The U.S. is relying on imported products (including FastSkins & LZRs) too much and even worse, the country is importing way too many science and engineering professionals instead of developing our own home grown talent. :dedhorse:
While many high schools, colleges, and universities are emotionaly centered around their athletic department, it's quite obvious that many of those participating in sports are getting their academic records "doped" so they can remain in school. :doh:
And other advanced countries are NOT spending anywhere near the time and money on sports and athletics that the U.S. does. From the post about ASU dropping swimming, it appears that the days of big sports spending are quickly becoming a thing of the past.
If you're not worrying about the continued loss of technological and business competitiveness in the U.S. and what may be called a "melt down" of the country as an economic super power, you're living in a world of "ignorant bliss" and the chant should be "Roman Empire here we come". :shakeshead:
Sorry for the bad prognostications, but as the old saying goes "Reality sucks doesn't it?" :rant3:
Happy swimming anyway -
