"Overall this is my go to suit and I expect to upgrade in another year or so depending on how this one holds up. Rocket Science Sports is one of those companies that is pushing the technology purely for the sport. I really like their products and dedication to the sport."Dano2010

Ease of use

All wetsuits are tough to put on and take off. This one came off quickly and I'm not exactly thin. So around my middle I had to do the shimmy hop step thing but the arms and legs came off easily. Having an anchored strap helps!

(5)

Quality of Construction

RSS uses a one piece construction that wraps your body like a glove. There is a velcro catch for the pull on your lower back. The back of the neck has a good velcro flap. It still suffers from the ability to fingernail damage it. Repair is the standard cement repair with no problems.

Fit

You will feel like a compressed ham on land but in the water it feels perfect. High ankle, low cut neck feels very comfortable

Comfort

I don't notice it while in the water. Which is the whole point of a great fit.

(5)

Durability

Good durability. One piece construction helps. Graphics don't fade. Fingernail tears easily repair

Value

Picked mine up as a "last years model" deal and got it for a song! RSS quality is hard to beat, but full price can be the ouch factor. The owner actually oversees the manufacturing process.

Appearance

Not as flashy as the newer models and you have some funny instructions on the suit which for me helps break the tension at the start of most races.

(5)

Customer Service

Just Great!

Performance

Everyone likes to make claims on how fast you are going to go in their suit. I belive these guys are dead on... You slide right through the water in this one

Strengths

One piece construction. Great fit in the water. Lower neckline. Anchored zipper pull. Quality materials and workmanship.

Weakness

I say this of all wetsuits... Price... If I had to pay the full retail price it wasn't going to happen.
