Kudos to Blueseventy for honoring their rebate program and sending me my new TX. I called to verify the sizing and they assured me that the TX is the equivalent of the Nero in terms of sizing. Yep, when I looked at the chart, I'm right in the middle on all fronts. My first clue was when I took it out of the box and it looked like something a 9 year old might wear. I waited for a brave moment to try it on. I always try suits on over pantyhose, which helps them to go on easier and more quickly without leaving flakes of dry skin on the fabric, in case it has to be returned. The suit wouldn't budge.
Long story short, no way can I fit into this suit. I have worn tight suits in the past, so I know tight. Even if I did get it above my knees. I'm sure I couldn't move let alone breathe. I'd love to hear about others' experiences with the new suit. Should I keep trying or should I return it?
I got my rebate and ordered what I have ordered in size on all my other comp suits. When I got it I was very surprised also. When I tried to get it on and struggled for a 1/2hr and couldn't get it over my butt, I stopped and wrote them a note that I had ordered the wrong size. The next day
I got a note back and she explained that to try it again as they run really
small but the more u wear them the more they stretch. I finally got it on after about 20 mins of struggle and wore it around the house to try and
loosen it up a bit. It was the size I was suppose to order for my height,
weight, ect. I haven't swam in it yet but will keep putting it on and stretching it a bit before I race in it. The shoulder straps are a bit too snug on my traps so will have to stretch that part out more. At least I got
it on and it is wearable the 2nd time around. :applaud:
20-30 minutes is nothing for a first time. If it doesn't take you that long, it's not the right size. My advice is don't stretch it out anymore! The new paper suits stretch out fast and don't last long. They're tight on everyone's traps. Stretch it out in the pool not at home. YMMV.
