(4)

Ease of installation

First few times putting it on was tough, but it has gotten easier. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was that it had sleeves and the sleeveless ones are easier to wear. However, it's not bad for a sleeved wetsuit.

(5)

Ease of use

Seems to work very well, especially when put on properly. Shoulders don't seem restrained. I am definitely faster by more than 10% when wearing it (tested in the pool compared to not wearing wetsuit)

(5)

Quality of Construction

Definitely looks top of the line. Lots of features and attention to detail.

(5)

Fit

I was torn between getting the M or the M/L since I was 6'0", 170lbs and seem to fit in both categories. I was closer to the middle of the M specifications so I ordered that. I'm glad I did because it seems to fit me just fine!

(5)

Comfort

Once I got used to it (3rd time in wetsuit ever), it was very comfortable.

(0)

Adjustability

not really a lot of adjustability for a wetsuit...

(0)

Durability

I haven't had it long enough to rate this.

(5)

Value

Not a bad price for a top of the line suit.

(5)

Appearance

Definitely looks sharp - wish the red was as bright as their pictures on the website for increased visibility in the water - but I think it looks very sharp with the graphics.

(5)

Performance

As a new swimmer, it helps me quite a bit and I am over 10% faster using it.

Strengths

great design and features, visually attractive graphics and color combination, fast, fits well; if worn properly, you don't even feel it in the shoulders.

Weakness

nothing I can think of at this point - it is on the expensive side
