I asked Dean Jackson at B70 if they were offering any discounts for B70 Nero Comps & how to order one.
his response was:
"Ande. Call the office in Seattle and tell them
Dean says sell me a nero suit and nero bag for 100 bucks plus shipping.
You should be sweet."

So I called and ordered a size 30 to be my back up suit at Long Beach.
These aren’t likely to be legal when FINA & USMS change the rules, but we should be able to wear them in Nov & Dec USMS meets & for Fast Fridays in practice.

Don't get me wrong--there were plenty out here at the Pacific Masters Championship. It just seemed to me that there were fewer than were at the Pacific Masters SYC Championship meet. I actually saw a few more LZRs than I had in the past, and there were several of the nifty fluorescent pink Neros. But I think the trend of tech suit escalation has definitely reversed itself. I think that most people that have them are still swimming in them. More power to them. I've moved on and am starting to make peace with being slower again...
I would guess that for the SCM season, a lot of masters will still wear them. If they swim in a scy meet, it might go either way.
I decided that for SCM, I will wear mine. If I swim in a scy meet before next year, I will wear jammers. Times in SCM don't really mean a whole lot to me, since this is the first season that I have raced this course.
And I agree with Patrick B. thought(a little paraphrasing) "regardless of what I wear this year, I plan on being faster next year"
