"Overall a fantastic piece of apparel. Actually I will be ordering a 2-piece set of the same kind soon due to the outstanding feel and performance of this product."timf79
Quality of Construction
The fabric from De Soto is just fantastic. It feels great in the water and out of the water
Fit
I am 6'6" and 195lbs and got the suit in XL. The fit is perfect. Which is difficult for my long lean torso
Comfort
During bike rides I do not use chamois butter and still had no issues. Even used the suit on longer training rides.
Durability
I wash the suit after every use in the washing machine (hand-wash) and then put it in the dryer (no heat). Also I have used the suit in pool-tris. So far there has been no deterioration of the quality.
Value
I got the suit from a tri shop on sale and for the price I paid I am more than pleased.
Appearance
What can I say... Red is faster! Also the suit has black in the area where guys want to have black to hide manly features.
Customer Service
De Soto customer service vie mail and or phone is just top notch.
Performance
The suit feels nice and does not get soaked or heavy when wet.
Strengths
Zipper in back makes it ITU legal. Also I have a very boney collar bone/front and some suits and t-shirt rub my skin raw in no time. Not so this suit
The gel packs are covered and therefore the suit is ideal for tris that are not wetsuit legal (as the pockets do not create any drag).
Weakness
None found yet.

Ease of use
It's pretty easy to get in the suit, despite the zipper in the back.
