LZR Elite size charts -- are they accurate?

I'm looking to possibly purchase a LZR Elite kneeskin as my next suit and am not sure about the sizing. According to the charts, I would wear a 25L. For reference, I train in a 30 lycra/poly, have a 26 in the B70 Nero TX and wore a 24 in the B70 Nero Comp. Does the 25L sound about right, or would the 26 or 27 be a better bet? I'm 5'6" and weigh 125. Thanks! I'm about the same size as you - about an inch taller and 10 lbs heavier. I wore a 26 in B70 and wear a 30 in most practice suits. I have a longish body, so the 25L is really nice. Took me about 7 minutes to put it on the first time, over a practice suit at nats in Atlanta. I have big shoulders, and am narrower in the waist and hip than most, but have booty. Hope this helps and PM me if you have any questions. I've not raced in this suit yet, but plan to for my summer taper meet.

Sounds like the 25 or the 25L would work. I appreciate it! :)

Haven't tried one yet, but I believe the material is like the old paper suits similar to the Speedo Pro Not too stretchy, you could probably go one size down but not much more you can find them here: 2010 Approved Womens Tech Suits 2010 Approved Mens Tech Suits Always remember that a tech suit is the tightest it's ever going to be when it's brand new never worn, if you're in a hurry or don't have many days before your big meet, order 2 sizes, try them both on, keep the one that fits the best & send the other one back the tighter the suit, the more likely it might rip. I ordered a Speedo Pro body suit that I couldn't get over my hips, sent it back & went up a size. The tighter the suit the better compression you get compression makes your body more streamlined & faster. Ande Thanks, Ande. I ended up being able to find the suit locally so was able to try it on. The 25L fit perfectly, so the size charts were accurate (at least for my body type). It was definitely nice to be able to try on two different sizes.
