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?
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?
FYI:
For the Yingfa suits (at least the male version), I ordered a Large size, which says 28-30, and it fits pretty good. In other Speedo/TYR brand suits I've been using a 30.
