Been thinking about getting one for Nationals next month. Anyone have any recommendations or things to consider before getting one?
The main thing to consider is the balance and interest rate on your credit card.

Decide if you want a jammer, legskin, or shoulders to ankle first. Different people prefer different suits based on comfort and what they are swimming.
Then decide if you want a Fastskin or FS Pro. The Pro is a lighter material, newer suit. Little bit of a pain to put on but not too bad.
this thread covers it
The speedo PRO is a very fast affordable suit with no question of it's legality. Some women and men struggle to get it on because it's tight and not super stretchy. Tight means it provides compression.
Mens Full Body
Womens Full body
LZR's are being retested and have had multiple zipper failures.
We are waiting to see if the B70 Nero Comp makes FINAs phase 1 list,
it won't be legal on 1/1/10

I just got my first Pro and tried it on. It felt like putting on a full body paper suit.

Are you swimming at PMS champs this weekend?
Against your advice, I wound up buying a FS Pro legskin...paid cash, btw, so don't worry about my credit card. :)
I am getting a Finis Hydrospeed Jammer for Nationals. It was priced right for my budget, and I have heard generally positive reviews. I had a gen 1 faskskin - it was a great suit from what I remember but I didn't think it would be any good after sitting for almost 8 years!
Thanks all for your input. I have looked at them all, but after thinking about it, and reading some of the posts in "The Suits can stay...", I am going to pass on the fastskin for now and continue to compete with myself, trying to always get better.
I had heard they may be closing the high school as a precaution, but just read they are not. At least as of today. Hope they don't.
