Has anyone tried the Speedo suits made of Polyester/Xtra Life Lycra(R) such as the "Flip Turns" series of suits? I'm wondering how much longer they actually last. My baseline is that a regular Nylon 80%/Spandex 20% suit lasts 2.5-3 months training 3 days/week.
Also, Nike is making suits of Polyester and XLA Lastol which looks like a new fiber made by Dow. Any comments on the longevity of that combo would be great, too.
I wear the xtra life lycra and have noticed no difference - I have trouble with fit in poly suits so I tried these: 6-8 weeks is all I get without resorting to indecency. My daughter on the other hand is wearing an Dolphin Ugli poly that she will probably outgrow before it wears out.
If the poly suits fit you, go with them.
