Technical Suit Suggestions?

I know there are many of you out there with strong feelings against technical suits. While I respect your opinions, I am wanting to try a technical suit for the SCY 2011 state/national meets. What I am looking for here are suggestions, tips, and/or recommendations from people who are using technical suits as to what I should be looking for - other than "FINA approved". If you have any advice for someone looking to buy her first technical suit, please let me know. If it makes a difference, I am focusing on mainly freestyle and fly. Thanks!

  • The article was helpful, I enjoyed both male & female reviews. BUT - I would like to see some reviews of the mid-range and/or "entry level" tech suits as well. I can't fathom paying $250+ for a swimsuit I'm only going to wear a few times, even if it is nationals! I would like to consider the ones at/around the $200 level, but want the most bang for my buck. Sadly, I'm not able to really get much quality review on the suits at those levels outside of the obligatory - daughter wore it & got a PR, great! - that I think most of these suits would be able to provide simply due to the compression fit & tapered status of the swimmer. Thoughts?
