"I've had the chance to swim in both one and two piece wetsuits and prefer the Desoto T1 over anything else I've tried. If you're on the fence, take the leap, you'll never look back."RI_Tri22

Quality of Construction

Very well constructed and a great design, the "bio-stroke" really does help.

(5)

Fit

The fit is excellent, great part about the T1 is you can choose different tops/bottoms depending on your proportions.

(5)

Comfort

Very comfortable especially when compared to one piece wetsuits. I like that the zipper doesn't go all the way up to your neck, also the two piece design doesn't hinder my stroke.

(4)

Durability

My top (First Wave) has held up great so far but I couldn't give out a 5 because the shoulder strap on my Bibjohn (Black Pearl) tore while swimming (one week before a race, of course), it had no previous signs of damage.

(5)

Value

I got a fantastic price on my set up, but even at full retail it's a great value when you take into consideration you can mix and match (i.e. - bibjohn with sleeved and sleeveless tops)

(4)

Appearance

Pretty plain looking, almost all black except for the "first wave" across the front in white, Black Pearl is in black lettering so you can't see it

Customer Service

I'll update this when I hear back from them on my bibjohn repair. It does carry a three year warranty, so we shall see.

(5)

Performance

I love this wetsuit, so much less restricted compared to a one piece design. More comfortable/less restricted means I can swim faster :)

Strengths

Two piece design, comfortable neckline,Bio-stroke design, customizable configurations.

Weakness

It would have none if that bibjohn strap hadn't snapped, I'm hoping my case was just a fluke.
