"I can't use this suit; the rubbing on my throat is just too bad. If it fits you so that it doesn't rub, I think it'd be great, but apparently I'm not the only user who has had this problem. I don't know if it'll fit everyone this way, but it has rubbed at least two users this way. If you can find a used one that's less expensive to try out, I say go for it, but keep in mind it may be uncomfortable if it fits you like it does me."RBesecke

Ease of installation

Front zipper doesn't go down quite far enough for my arms to get into the armholes easily. I can still put it on and take it off without too many problems, but it takes some maneuvering.

(4)

Ease of use

Once it's on, it's a decent fit, but the zipper doesn't quite go low enough for an easy on/off.

(5)

Quality of Construction

Fabric is very comfortable; thin and breaths great; ventilates sweat away easily.

(4)

Fit

Not bad. A little tight in the chest for me, but that was expected.

(2)

Comfort

The zipper rubbed my sternal notch really bad when I tried running with it on. After 4 miles my skin was a little raw; I can only imagine what it'd be like after 8 or 10. I won't be using this suit again.

Durability

I don't know how durable this suit is; I won't be using it long enough to find out.

(5)

Appearance

The colors and patterns are great.

Customer Service

When I emailed SKINS about the problems, the representative said that my comments would be passed on to their development people, and they offered me a 30% discount code. I don't know how great that offer is, but I'll try to make the best of it.

Strengths

Great fabric, looks good, breaths wonderfully.

Weakness

Slightly difficult to get into and out of, but not horribly; it just took a few tries to figure out how to bend my arm to get the top of the suit on.
