"This was my first wetsuit and I was a little apprehensive about purchasing online however at Leisure Pro they will cover the shipping costs to ship it back and send a new size if the suit didn't fit. The fit was right on the money the first time around. I swam with it a few times earlier this year and used it in my first race yesterday. I went from a middle of the pack swimmer in September and yesterday I was fourth out of the water in my wave of about 30 guys. I even past a couple swimmers from the wave ahead of me! If you are considering a wetsuit this is well worth a second look."sdw5012

Ease of use

The legs are short and come up to the calf which makes it extremely easy to get the suit on and off.

(5)

Quality of Construction

The seams are glued and double stitched so they are holding up well. There is some extra reinforcement in higher wear areas like at the ends of the sleeves.

(4)

Fit

I went back and forth with the manufacturer and the company I purchased the suit from about size because I was between sizing. I'd say the fit they gave me is on the money.

(4)

Comfort

Just throw on some Body Glide and you're set. No rubbing under the arms or around the neck.

(0)

Durability

Haven't used the suit enough yet to comment on durability but it is holding up well so far for about a half dozen swims

(5)

Value

$150 for a full suit is well worth it! I was back and forth between renting or buying and at $50 per rental it was worth it to purchase this suit in my eyes.

(3)

Appearance

This in no way affects the functionality of the suit but it looks the same as any other black wetsuit. There is a few bits of color on the sleeve and the logo on the chest but thats it.

(5)

Customer Service

The folks at NeoSport and at Leisurepro.com were both very helpful when trying to determine my size. I was between a bunch of sizes and I think they got it right. Leisure Pro's price match was great and beat the other price by an additional 5%.

(5)

Performance

People always say "you get what you pay for" Well I think this is one case that you get WAY more than you pay for.

Strengths

Price can't be beat! Overall value and performance

Weakness

Some may swim in colder water where a full length leg is necessary.
