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?

All of these posts seem to be talking about one or two suits. Yeah, the LZR or tracer are really good, but what about others?
The one I really want to know about is the yingfa sharkskin. Do they last for a few meets? Are they worth the $30? I don't have the budget for a suit much more expensive, but if it'll be useless after one swim, it's not worth the difference in price when I race perfectly well in a tight practice suit.
