   Fit was as expected. I found the wetsuit to be comfortable to use in my first triathlon. It didn’t restrict my movement at all and it provided a lot of buoyancy.The wetsuit provided the warmth I needed for the race, and the buoyancy I was looking for. It was easy to get on and off during transition. I got the suit off in < 10 seconds after watching video footage after the race and timing it. I like that it is zip-up (as compared to zip-down). This makes it very easy to put it on yourself and take off. The 3/4 ankle length looks goofy, but this helps it from getting caught on your timing chip (usually around your ankle) while taking it off.My swim time was faster than expected, so I am not sure if this wetsuit deserves all the credit or if it was my training and nutrition (or likely all of the above) but i was happy with it. The neck is not too tight, I really felt the shape and fit was great!One final word to clear up other reviews on here: This is a wetsuit... not a drysuit. Many other reviews mention that the wetsuit "leaks" and water gets in. Well of course it does, because it is a WETSUIT! You get wet in a wetsuit. Wetsuits work by letting water in, your body warms up the water, and that warm layer of water is what keeps you warm. This is how they work, so people that think they will stay dry have never used a wetsuit before. With that being said, a wetsuit that lets water in or out too quickly is problematic. This suit did not let water in or out too quickly. If anything I was chest deep in water before I felt it start to trickle in, which is amazing! That is the rate you want a wetsuit to let water in. But letting water in is part of the design! So don't listen to people that say it "leaks". They don't know how wetsuits work.

   This is my first ever wetsuit, so take anything I say with that in mind. I believe that, for the money, it is hard to beat this suit. The construction seems quite good, the materials seem to be of good quality, and I notice no initial flaws. I have only used it once, so far, to see how it fit, and how well I’d be able to swim wearing it. I will update in a couple of weeks after my first sprint tri of the season, and my first (ever) open water swim.If I had to point out flaws, I would note that the zipper strap feels a bit delicate, though I had no problems with it (having put the suit on exactly 3 times). I also find the suit a bit challenging to zip up, but I am right at the top of the weight range for the size, so that’s probably to be expected. The suit was comfortable, with no chaffing or rubbing. It will take some getting used to the snugness, though.UPDATE: I used this wetsuit for 2 open water swims, one ‘practice’ and the day of the race. It performed flawlessly, as far as I could tell. Water temps were around 65, according to organizers, and the parts of me covered by the suit stayed warm. I probably would have preferred a suit with arms for that temp, but I wasn’t too cold. Absolutely no chaffing, pressure points or other suit related issues. Easy off at the end of the swim.

   I purchased this wetsuit for use in triathlons. I have my first half triathlon coming up in 3 weeks and decided it would be cheaper to buy one then rent one (twice). After reading the reviews I purchased this one, due mainly to the price point and the helpful reviews for how well it seemed to fit and stay true to size. I had tried on other wetsuits at a local sports shop and could get NONE of them over my thighs (I have thunder thighs for sure). For reference, I am 5’6″, 155, hourglass shaped, with large chest and hips and smaller waist but large thighs. I typically wear women’s 10 -12 and purchased a 12 in this wetsuit. I feel like I probably could squeeze into a 10 but the neck felt pretty snug (also I have never worn a wetsuit before).I swam in it the first time and it felt great! I did take on some water through the arm holes, again if I had gotten a smaller size I may have taken on less water and it did chafe slightly on my right arm just above the armpit. Despite the neck feeling tight when I am dry, it was comfortable to swim in and did not let water in through the neck. I felt comfortable swimming and did not feel like my legs or arms were hindered at all.The suit is surprisingly stretchy and I feel like it moves in the water nicely! I am now excited about swimming in it for my half tri and recommend this suit to anyone starting out.Pros: stretchy, comfortable, doesn’t hinder movement in water, easy zipper pull for taking offCons: Chafed slightly upper armpit area
