"Looks like it's going to be a great comfort and help this season"Ikanuba

Ease of use

Since it's a very snug fit it takes a little effort to get it over the shoulders, and my shoulders are pretty wide so it's a bit more effort for me, but once it's on it fits like a glove, literally.

Quality of Construction

I've talked to the North American sales rep about the leg hemming, (of which there is none because it has a 0 hem line), which looks like it was hand cut and that's exactly what they do, cut the legs by hand? But I was assured that it's by design and the silicon band around the inside of the leg keeps the leg securely in place (Silicone fused tape for comfort and speed through water). Other than that, seems to be good quality construction.

Fit

Fits very snug so as to help with muscle fatigue but not uncomfortable, feels more like a second skin. Only thing that could be an issue is that the zipper rubs a bit at the back of my neck?

Comfort

Feels like a second skin. I've tested it a few times in the pool and it's very comfortable to swim in.

Appearance

Very nice looking suit, but keep in mind it's also very revealing so if you don't like the way you look in a full body spandex-like suit, this might be an issue for you.

Customer Service

Great customer service. I was a bit concerned about the seamless leg and I called the North American dealer in Cali' since it's a foreign company and he was very helpful and took the time to explain the suits design and why they did it that way. Very Cool!
