As a professional swim instructor who also enjoys distance swimming, I spend hundreds of hours in pools. I have owned quality suits from Speedo, Nike, and other top name companies, but TYR Durafast surpasses them all. I am delighted to have found them.This is the second TYR Durafast suit that I own and it's worth the extra money. This is the only professional suit I will buy. The quality is superb. The material is comfortable and exceptionally durable. The suit does not fade, is lined, has comfortable coverage, and the fun patterns, colors, and designs are trendy. I've had and used this suit for over a year now and compared to my other suits that I got at the same time TYR: - The TRY suit is still going strong. There is minor wear to the back seams and quite a bit of wear on the straps in the front (it looks used), but the coverage, color-fastness, and liner are still completely intact and durable. I still comfortably wear this suit. Other Suits: the others were worn less frequently because they have faded and essentially disintegrated. They also have that embarrassing stretched see-through look to them now. They are unwearable and are being replaced by this new TYR.Be aware that the fit of this suit is meant to be and is snug so don't order a size down. I say give this suit a try and see if you don't love it! I certainly do.
