For what it's worth Susan Von Der Lippe wore one and was a tenth SLOWER than her seed time (swum with an FS Pro, I think she said). heard 2 swimmers at trials wore nero comps in prelims then wore LZR's in finals and went slower Dustin Mclarty wore one in the 400IM finished 6th after qualifying in 8th prelims 8 5 3 MCLARTY Dustin 1986 DBSFL 0.66 4:21.05 7.67 Q 50m 26.82 30.72 100m 57.54 33.99 150m 1:31.53 33.45 200m 2:04.98 38.11 250m 2:43.09 38.26 300m 3:21.35 30.61 350m 3:51.96 29.09 Finals 8 MCLARTY Dustin DBSFL 0.69 4:18.90 13.65 50m (4) 26.95 30.95 100m (6) 57.90 33.66 150m (6) 1:31.56 32.71 200m (6) 2:04.27 37.31 250m (7) 2:41.58 38.02 300m (7) 3:19.60 30.19 350m (7) 3:49.79 29.11

I'd think there's few people with a 29 waist, a 37 chest that weigh 204 their chest would have to be much larger like 42 - 45 I'd really like to see a picture of one these guys with a 29" waist, 37" chest and weighs in at 204 pounds.

Michelle: I'm smaller and shorter than you (although not maybe in the chest. I must have a bigger back. lol) and a W24 seemed to be the right size for me. I'm a 26 in the Pro. It was a battle extraordinaire to get in the nero comp the first time. After about a 20-25 minute struggle, I won. :weightlifter: It was much easier the next 2 times. Still, I can't imagine getting into a 22. The nero seems to run narrower than the Pro. Thankfully, it is much less fragile. I never considered buying or pre-ordering the LZR because of its fragility and my frequent Pro rips. I'm really glad. Only a few swims to judge so far, but I think it's a better suit for me. One downside: it doesn't dry off like the Pro! Mine was still somewhat wet for my second event. Hi Fort, Can you be more specific about your height and weight? I wear a 25L fspro high neck, am 5'7", 130, 34, 26, 36 - long slimmer torso (except for booty and back), shorter stubby legs. Can you guess on a size for me? Thanks so much for any insight! --mj

Exactly. The B70 sizing chart seems to be designed for martians! I'm 6'1", 32" waist, 41" chest, which is looking good for size 32 except the minimum weight is 215 lbs and I only weigh 170! I can't imagine adding 45 lbs without increasing my waist and chest measurements! To fit the weight ranges I would be a size 26 but my other measurements are totally out of whack for the size 26. I can't imagine real people matching any of the sizes in all the measurements. I noted the same issue in my post above. Does anybody know how to get a hold of Roque Santos? He might be able to shed some light on the sizing...

I dragged out a tape measure just for you: 34, 25, 35. Not sure on idea on weight. No scale. But last time I checked I was around 125. You'd probably fit in a 24 as well. You're slim enough for a 22, but quite a few inches taller than the sizing charts indicate. 22 might be too tight on the shoulders or too short. Or you could make like ehoch and try a 22 if B70 would let you return it. Just be patient getting it on! Gull: I think a 28 would be too big for you! You seem around Glenn Mills size, except slimmer. Glenn said his 28 was way too big for him and he was collecting water in the lower back. Oops, sorry reread, and you're thinking 26. Sounds like you might be a 24 though. I think Roque has been estimating a bit too big, from what I've heard.

Blueseventy's website added more detail to their sizing chart - an upper and lower height, and upper and lower weight. This really helps! Thanks Fort for your feedback!

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.
