Sizing update. Received my other suit and compared. I am a 32 and ordered the long Finis Amp in 30 and 32.
The first time I tried on the 30, it took me 20+ minutes. Today, I put on the 32 in less than 5 ... very similar to my Blue70.
With the 32 on, it felt fairly snug, but bending over for a start left a bunch of fabric bunched behind my knees.
Tried the 30 on again and this time did it in about 7-8 minutes (most of it struggling to get over the butt). It felt much tighter and given that I think it will slightly stretch over swims, I'm keeping it.
So my advice, if you want it for what it's designed for (streamlining, compression, etc) it's worth considering 1 size down.
If you want it for comfort/fun/ease of getting in/out of, go with your size.
Given we may only have a few months with these (I hope not, but that's another story), I'm sticking with a size down.
