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.
here's my scy 50 Backstroke times from recent workouts
while wearing various tech suits:
Tuesday May 27nd, 2008 23.6 FS II Legs
Thursday May 29th, 2008 23.6 FS II Hineck
Saturday May 31st, 2008 23.3 PRO Legs
Wednesday June 4th, 2008 23.7 FS II Legs
I swam my fastest recent 50 time in PRO legs by 0.3
The pro material is thinner.
haven't done any fast practice swims in my PRO Hineck,
I've comvered most details about which suit suits you at:
www.usms.org/.../showpost.php
I haven't tested an LZR hineck.
Some of the most important factors are:
How fast you are in the suit,
How many times you can use each suit, and
How easy the suit is to damage when putting on and taking off
Several friends have poked holes in brand their new PRO's.
The Blue Seventy Suits arrived today and I'm going to try them on.
wish me luck,

I'd wish you luck but considering your 50 backstroke times IN PRACTICE times (regardless of which suit you wear) beat my personal best 50 freestyle times (regardless of which suit I wear), I don't think you need it! :p
Thanks for posting your experiences with the two suits. I'd suggest a second performance in the FS Pro legs to confirm the first wasn't just a aberrantly fast day. Were all of the other conditions the same/similar (were you possibly more tired after a harder workout on one of the days, did you have competition (and or the same competition) on each day, etc.)? Inquiring minds want to know!
