“for reference, I'm 5'9" 148lbs and M fits just about right; maybe a little tight in the chest and from crotch to shoulders again, a little tight. Good construction, appreciate the different thickness where it matters. When swimming it pinches a little bit under the armpits on the downstroke but not a big deal, comes with the sleeveless style. Comparing to earlier model, the neck now has s soft fabric type edge, more confortable. I had tried an S earlier model that got on sale but was way to tight particularly at the neck. Overall very satisfied.”
“I’ve been on 4 open water swims and the suit has been just what I needed with water temperatures 60-65F. I wish I could wear a Blue70 full suit for colder temperatures but at 80 years old there is just no way I could contort myself to get on anything more than this short John wetsuit.”
“I own several wetsuits - full and tops only. I needed this for an open water trek. My other suits either choke me (gagging every stroke) or bind my shoulders. This suit is the bomb! The new neck does not choke - rides low on the neck. The extra neoprene in the butt/legs keep me aligned in the water and the flexible top with no arms allowed me to rotate my arms on each stroke. I really researched this purchase and am thrilled with this one!”
