"Overall great suit. The Xterra Vortex 4 was slightly better due to fit and float. With both being similar price i would get the Vortex. "xatefrogg

Ease of use

Put it on and swim. Wetsuits are never easy to get on and off.

Quality of Construction

Good panel construction and seams. I didn't particularly like the armpit panel, although it does maybe help in flexibility it seems a little cheap and looks weird.

(3)

Fit

I am 5'7" 150 lbs and i got the small and it was too constrictive in the chest. I got fatigued in the chest as I swam.

Overall good comfort except in the chest. I have a slightly larger chest.

Performance

I had a Blue Seventy Sprint and the 2011 Xterra Vortex 4 to compare. I took them both out and swam 1 mile in each. The flexibility, bouyancy and performance of the Xterra was better for me than the Blue Seventy Sprint. The B70 seemee too constrictive in the chest and I actually started getting fatigued in my chest after .5 mile. They both have great float but i would give 1 point more to Xterra. Construction quality i would give 1 point up on the Blue Seventy. The Xterra's seams were more visible.

Strengths

Float between the B70 and Xterra vortex 4 were similar but xtera was slightly better.

Weakness

Too small in the chest for me.
