"This suit is terrible and it falls under the YBS (You'll be sorry) recommendation. It may be because I'm a clyde but this company seems to indicate they are good with clydes. I assure you this is not the case. This was the worst tri related purchase I have made so far. I contemplated throwing it in the lake and walking away after my last swim but I didn't need the ticket for littering. Garbage just plain garbage. Everyone feel free to write your reviews because I am in the market for something else.

Ease of installation

Putting on this suit is the standard pain X2. The sleeves make me want to cut them off.

(2)

Ease of use

It feels like I'm swimming in a sandbag

Quality of Construction

Extremely poor. On swim number 3 the stickers started peeling off the sleeve. I emailed and they told me that's expected. It's like having the mirror fall off your car during your first week and having the dealer go yeahhhhhh we expect that? What kind of engineers do they have?

(5)

Fit

True to size

(0)

Comfort

Uncomfortable in the neck area. I have a wetsuit burn like I never imagined on both sides of my neck.

(1)

Durability

Is falling apart after about 12 uses. I don't expect to have it last the season.

(1)

Value

I have lost :30 per hundred by using this suit.

(3)

Appearance

The suit looks ok. Compared to the other suits it looks cheesy but I would say it's middle of the road.

Customer Service

When I first mailed telling them the stickers were falling off they told me it was normal. When I emailed with pictures when the seams started falling apart they didn't bother to reply. When I called I was told they would be happy to glue them because they are under a lifetime warranty. Yeah just what I wanted with my new suit shipping and some glue. She was quick to point out that there may be some fees involved and the gluing/shipping will take around 10 days. How wonderful.

Update- Shipped on July 3rd it's July 21st sigh... Anyway they called and were much more pleasant over the phone than via email. They admitted the suit wasn't up to par and agreed to fix it for free. In the end they offered to refund my money since I was pretty displeased. So I move the customer service up.

Performance

Great if you for some reason need to be slower. This wetsuit will help you have tons of people to pass on the bike.

Strengths

Brightly colored so when you are moving slowly you aren't mistaken for a log.

Weakness

Collar is terrible, getting the sleeves on is ridiculous. Slow and terrible buoyancy. The seams are falling apart and the stickers are falling off. Oh yes the worst part are the stupid zippers on the ankles. It's as if they said what would be slower than what we have already done and the engineer said... ZIPPERS.
