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 had a friend's yingfa kneeskin rip this first time she put it on, but it was a seam rip, so could be easily repaired. Other than that, it sounds like they're good suits. Thanks, guys, I think I'll invest the $30-ish. At that price, I don't think I'll be super disappointed if it fails. I just don't have the money for much more.
Let us know what you think. I could do with a second racing suit, right now I have a TYR kneeskin, which is fine, but I find Speedo in general is a better fit than TYR on me. However I can't justify the Speedo $$ just yet. I'm interested to know if these fit more like a Speedo, as they use them as a comparison size, but am a litte put off by the sizings of say "26-28" and "28-30" - which to get if you want a 28 yk?
