"BUY IT!!! It's fantastic. www.kompetitiveedge.com"TriCO

(5)

Ease of installation

It's about as easy of a wetsuit to get in and out of that I've ever put on.

(5)

Ease of use

Again, if there is a more userfriendly suit out there I haven't found it.

(5)

Quality of Construction

TYR's standard of quality they have used for years on their swim products has crossed over to their Triathlon products.

(5)

Fit

Like a glove! It's insane how perfict this suit fits. As a former elite, I've worn almost all the wetusits on the market. I'm coming out of a V:1 from 2XU and thought I loved how it wore, but the Huricane is hands down better. As with any suit though you need to get the right size or fit is thrown out the window.

(5)

Comfort

It's hard to justify comfort in a wetsuit. They aren't nessicarily designed for comfort, however, the Hurricane C5 and C3 are wonderful. Andy Potts was a big playing in the suits design. This being said comfort was a key due to the designers use. 1/2IM and Full IM.

(5)

Durability

So far so good. You just need to remember, as with any suit, that it's not hard to dig your finger nails in.

(5)

Value

Pound for Pound, the C5 is worth more than it's weight in gold. Even the C3, the model dwon, incorporates all the technology of most companies top end suits for a fraction of the cost.

(5)

Appearance

Pro quality Pro design. The suit is sharp.

(5)

Customer Service

Costomer service starts at the shop up. I work through a company called KompetitiveEdge. They've been fantastic as well as any time I've needed to get ahold of TYR it can.

(5)

Performance

Having raced as an elite I'm used to a certain level of performance. This suit doesn't let me down in the least. Infact, the suit just wants to go faster and faster.

Strengths

Strength begins in design. From the core stability to the catch pannels to the flex areas. You will forget that the suit is on. It's fast and comfortable.

Weakness

It's only weakness is the other suits on the market that are willing to cut their costs just to get people in their suits. Spend some money and some time in a TYR suit and you won't regret a moment of your swim.
