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 tried the speedo "Flip-Turns" - the color did not fade, but the shape has given way. I would not pay full price for the suit.
Same here, didn't wear the suit very long - lost it's shape very quickly... disappointed because it was really cute.
I've learned my lesson to stick with what works - Nike poly suits are the only way to go for me.
