"The speedtube is an affordable, less restrictive option for wetsuit legal races. I think it would work for anyone, but especially those who are already strong swimmers and don't need the buoyancy and body positioning effect of a full or sleeveless wetsuit."doublej
Quality of Construction
High
Fit
It's easier to get a good fit with just the pants vs. an entire wetsuit
Comfort
No chafing or constriction.
Durability
No problems in 2 years of use.
Value
More affordable than most any wetsuit.
Performance
This item has definitely improved my swim times and not slowed T1 at all.
Strengths
Provides just the right amount of flotation for moderately strong swimmers without any of the constriction of arm movement possible with full body wetsuits. Also works well in warmer, but still wetsuit legal races.
Weakness
Not as much flotation as a full or sleeveless wetsuit
