Looks like Masters swimmers have decided on the best new suit available right now - probably a combination of price / value / and length of use.
I am at the Long Beach SCM - west coast "nationals" and the winner is: The Blue Seventy by a ratio of about 50 to 1 over the LZR.
People are either wearing one of the older suits (some of them are to be had for $25) or a Blue Seventy. There is still a bit of "confusion" over which Blue70 to get - I saw quite a few of the open water models. But I think I have seen a total of 3 (including mine) LZRs at the entire meet. No kidding Speedo wants the coaches to ban the Blue70.
Personal comparison - 50 Free - Blue 70 = 23.25 /// LZR = 23.44 (but I had a poor dive and a poor turn - I would still rank them about even)
I'm 6' 3 & 3/4"s 215lbs & have wide hips
I wore a size 30 Blue Seventy Nero Comp but a 32 works fine too
a 28 would probably be fine for you,
you could probably fit in a 26 too but that might increase the risk of ripping
Ande
Ande, what size is your Nero? I'm thinking about buying one in a size 28. I'm about 6'2" and 185. Do you think that would be the correct size? The sizing guidelines on their website suggest I'm too tall for a 26.
