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.
  • ehoch inspired me today I fit into a new 30 without much trouble think I need to try a 28 I'm 6' 3 & 3/4" 210ish

  • I'm looking for advice from folks who have a) bought and worn a B70 and b) have met me and have an idea of my dimensions to judge. Paul

Paul Hulkster...call them and talk live...they'll walk you thru the sizing which should be based on weight not height. I bought a 32 (6' 6" 230) Jim...cheater...trying to do a lifetime best eh?!

    Shawn from Blue Seventy is here for the Ironman Lake Placid. He can tell all about their swim wear.

    Chatted with a LZR- clad trialist about the B70. He said they were being handed out at trials, much like the LZR. Some complaints about them being heavy and wet after a race. They definitely take forever to dry. A friend of mine that sells Blueseventy echoed the same thing about being heavy and forever to dry. But then she added, anything with neoprene(marketing terms...chlorpene) in them will take a while to dry, much like a wetsuit. Which makes me wonder, how this suit did become legal, with it having neoprene in it the material.
  • I got a 30 in the mail this week. Roque Santos thought that should be right as I am 6'2", 185 lbs., 44" Chest. I hope I got the right size, maybe I should have gotten a 28. Question, since I am a newbie. When wearing this thing at a meet, do you put it on just before your race and then take it off, or wear it through the day so it can dry easier? Can't imagine having this thing on for more than 10 minutes. Another reason NOT to do the mile! Sam...i'm wondering if you went to big...if Hock went into a 26 and he's about your size as I recall? And no way could I keep that thing on in between swims...I found if I put it on about 10-15 minutes before my race then got in the water a couple of heats beforehand it worked well.
  • Ho Ho Ho Sam Perry! Here's something for the ongoing definition of a masters swimmer: Wears swimskin a size large to be able to sit through entire 8 hour masters meet in it. Ho Ho Ho!

I am going to try it tomorrow AM. Send it back if too big. Screw the shoulder Paul, I am seeing the doctor tomorrow.
