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!

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:

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.

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.
