I need help with the sizing of my new Blue 70. I am 178 pounds. Waist 35 and chest 39 and I am 5 foot 9; I tryed on a size 28 over the weekend and it fitted well and was wondering if I should try get into a size 26?
Why yes:
1. More compression/girdle-like effect through the torso. The legs are great, I think you just solved how to avoid failing the "take your marks" test, and the only other thing for me is the water-down-the-suit issue.
My B70 had less compression through the torso than my FS PRo (hi neck) and even LZR (racerback). Perhaps offer long sizes? Maybe this could be solved by wearing a 24L instead of a 26.
2. Racerback body style, priced around $295.95.
I disagree about the legs. Most women I know have trouble fitting the suit high in the crotch because the legs are so tight. Most masters women don't have stick legs. I do agree about more compression in the torso though.
I had a chuckle over that comment too, Rick.
