Take into consideration speed potential of the suit such as drag reduction and hydrophobia, fit, comfort (these two being personal preference obviously) and longevity and any other factors you can think of. Thanks.

PSU puts thier kids in FastSkins, they don't last for shit though. Our team was sponsored by Tyr so we always had their suits.

is that penn state? yea, I agree the fsII's don't last long. They're made out of nylon rather than polyester.

Yeah Penn State. The full body suits are really only good for a few wears. Personally I like just the legs.

I swim pretty much everything, but a lot of breastroke and IM so I opted not for the legs, thinking they might restrict my breastroke kick. Although, I was watching nationals and a lot of breastrokers were wearing legskins.

You kids today with all your fancy dancy swim wear. When I was swimming we wore overalls with a rope attached to a brick to beat off sharks!
