    I have an fs2 legskin for meets and have kind of ignored all the hype about more advanced full body suits. I'm tempted by the B70 but I've heard stories about how hard it is to get into them, stories about them ripping apart on the starting block, etc. Seems like a pain. Also, I'm not in this to try to swim faster than anyone else, just to beat my old times. And I didn't have a B70 back in H.S. As to the whole business about records, why stop with the suits if you're going to get into that argument? Without even considering the suits, various rule changes like turns, extra kicks, etc. are not fair to the prior record holders.
