Been racing in a B70 NeroTX. Six meets and twelve competition days. On the second day of the meet at Auburn, it started to show those white frayed thinning areas in the chest, crotch and back seam. So it's obviously on its way out.
I have taken good care of it. Always rinsing in clear water after each day, not taking it on and off too much, always hanging immediately to dry, never leaving wadded up in my swim bag.
Now that we've been racing in the new generation of suits since July, I was curious about other's experience with their suits. What brand are you wearing and how has it held up? Is my suit life typical or have your suits lasted longer?
I agree. I wear a tech suit at all meets. Why just wait for the "right" meet. It might pass you by while you are waiting.
I know from experience I'm just not going to swim close to best times unless I'm shaved and tapered. I applaud those who can swim best times in season, but I'm definitely not one of them. The rubber suits were a different story. With those I could just get in and swim fast any time. Not so with textile jammers.
