Any thoughts on sizing? I am 5'11", 150 pounds, waist 32", chest 40"--I was thinking a size 26. The local distributor only stocks the Point Zero but will be contacting the company Monday. They may try to have a few sizes shipped.

    Tried my new B70 nero comp suit today. Size 26 - I am 6-5 and 190 ! I had tried a Kneeskin in that size at the Janet Evans meet, but this is quite a bit different. You can pull up the kneesking quite a bit - so the suits seemed to fit ok at the JEI meet (it was still tight). Also - I was not the first person wearing the suit, so it may have been stretched. Anyway - today it took me about 10 minutes to put it on. It was VERY tight - especially around my shoulders - slicing into my traps. When I bent down to put water in my google I realized how difficult the turns would be. I tried to adjust as best as I could - but it felt very tight around the shoulders. Swimming -- I did feel a small lift, but in general I just felt very smooth going through the water - even though I could never quite loose the tightness around the shoulders. Small amount of water coming into chest - but that did not really bother me. The turns were very difficult - just could not really make myself small. Times and swims -- all short-course meters from a push - timed (start)with the feet leaving the wall (I think Ande calls it a rolling start). I like to be timed like this when I go from a push, because I either have to get my own times or I always have different people timing me - this gives the least amount of timing differentials. 3x50s in 200 pace on 45 sec I always know things are going really great in the water when I see my time and feel this smile coming over me -- 27 low has not felt this easy in a loooong time - even with very awkward turns. That is about a full second faster than what I can usually do (with no special suit). all out 50 from a push -- 24.2 -- I had 2 people time and looked at the pace clock myself, and I still had a hard time believing it. After that - i had to take off the suit, I could not stand it any more. I will try it one more time on Sunday -- if it stays the same, I will go with a 28.
