  • The LZR also uses neoprene. The TYR Tracer Rise is coated with polyurethane according to TYR's website. Yeah, I don't think the B70 is faster than the LZR or TYR. I haven't quizzed a lot of people yet, but there still seems to be a LZR preference. It's not the end of the world if college swimmers have to compete in Pros or whatever until prices come down. As Wookiee notes, they're good athletes and will do well either way. So, yeah, what Geek said: bunk.
