I got the LZR full neck suit yesterday in the mail. It is packaged and I had true excitement when I opened it. I ordered a medium based off the sizing chart that Speedo provides. When I pulled the suit on, the first thing I thought was that I'll NEVER be able to fit into it.
At 8:30 I started my effort to try it on. At 9:00 I finally figured that I have to get it much higher on my legs. It clearly is not meant to go down to your ankles. At about 9:20 I finally managed to get it over my shoulders but zipping it up was impossible. My wife had to help me do that.
At 9:30 she finished zipping it up. The suit was SO tight. I could bend over in the start position but I though it was going to tear. Here are my questions:
1) How tight should the suit be? Borderline uncomfortable?
2) Any tricks on putting it on?
3) Should I warm up in it, or do I want the suit to be dry when I dive in for my actualy race?
It will be easier the second time.Did you put plastic bags on your feet first as that makes it easier.I wear rubber gloves to avoid fingernail tears.If it doesn't take 2 people and a winch to zip up it is too loose.I hate how I feel walking around in it,I hate how I feel getting into starting position in it,but I love it in the water.
