The Suit Game
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.
