"Xterra Vortex 4 was slightly better than the Blue 70 Sprint in fit, flexibility and floatability."xatefrogg

(5)

Getting a wetsuit on and off is never easy.

(4)

The seams on the suit are noticable but seem strong.

(5)

I got the small and i'm 5'7" 150 lbs with a slightly larger chest and it fits great

(5)

Good flexibility and motion thoughout the chest and arms

(4)

Only used it once so far but seems strong

(5)

paid $175 brand new shipped

(5)

Cool design on the forearms and cool graphics

(3)

I called about my size because i was right on the border and the lady wasn't very helpful on what size to go with. I ended up going with the "race" fit or size smaller and it fits great.

For the price and everything compared this is a great suit. Bouyancy is great.

I had a Blue Seventy Sprint and the 2011 Xterra Vortex 4 to compare. I took them both out and swam 1 mile in each. The flexibility, bouyancy and performance of the Xterra was better for me than the Blue Seventy Sprint. The B70 seemee too constrictive in the chest and I actually started getting fatigued in my chest after .5 mile. They both have great float but i would give 1 point more to Xterra. Construction quality i would give 1 point up on the Blue Seventy. The Xterra's seams were more visible.

Seams are more visible.
