The Suit Game

I swore off full body suits a while ago.  Since joining CW, I'm back to the tech suits after two solid years of wearing brief style suits only during races.  The latest "tech suits" are fabric-only suits versus the 2008-2010 rubber/polyurethane days.  Since Speedo dropped the ball bigtime with the latest LZR Super Elite I was forced to find another suit.  I've chosen "Arena" as a brand I trust.  I was given a suit by a teammate in Austin which I really liked.  It was new but last years model.  It felt comfortable and didn't rip... the bar is pretty low these days.  I decided between the Olympic Trials, USMS Long Course Nationals and the U.S. Open, I'll need more than this one suit.  I dropped another $275.00 on a new Arena suit today.... ouch.  I hope this suit is as good as the one I wore in Austin.

Speedo, please do something about your tech suits.
