Customer Reviews

I did a lot of research before getting this suit, and was really hoping to find what I believe is an older model of this suit where the zipper went up the back. I'd heard from those who owned the rear zipper suit that it was a little tougher to get on and off, but I find the front zipper a little annoying as it bunches when your bend your torso. It's a little tricky to peel over my own shoulders to remove, but that's expected a bit with any wetsuit.
Aside from that, it's perfect for its purpose. It's a thinner suit, so it'll add some warmth, but it's not intended to be for super cold weather excursions. The foot holes are snug, but I'd prefer that to the ankles fitting sloppily once it's on.
I'm 5'8" and 125lbs, and a size 8 is perfect. Dry it's a little tight on my shoulders (as if it's a touch short?) but I expect that to be better once the entire suit is wet. The size-chart fit my measurements almost perfectly into a size 8, so I would also recommend following that.
I really liked that it was sleeveless with full legs so it can be worn alone without overheating on sunnier days but can also be layered with a thicker long-sleeve top to stay really toasty.
If you've shopped around at all on price, this suit is typically ~$80 elsewhere, so less than that with free 2-day shipping (for Prime members) was a nice bonus for me. You'll be surprised at the small size of the box in which this arrives: it folds down very nicely.

I purchased this last minute b/c I knew I'd be swimming in a lake for my triathlon. It definitely kept me warm, however, as I stripped down for the bike portion, it never dawned on me how well it has kept me dry. I've yet to wear it again, just to see how dry it keeps me. However, it did serve the purpose for what I bought it for.
