Why is this considered a "value priced suit" what's it downside being least expensive on their line of wetsuits? Girlfriend shopper.

Still a good wetsuit for beginners or people who can tolerate cold water better

Material not as flexible is their higher line of suits, seam in the lumbar area, single instead of double neck seal, inside is less slick.

90% of customers have called this "true to size" or even "a bit big"; but 10% of customers have said the exact opposite. So the odds are in favor of "true or bigger" but paying for return shipping is part of saving money by not driving to the mall (and no mall has these special-edition suits designed by a woman in Michigan).

Have same problem. This swimsuit works for me. Buy a little larger than your size, however, because this item runs small.

The answer is relative to how you treat the suit. We have three daughters who are competitive simmers and they can make these last for a long time when they treat them properly. As parents we have learned to take the role of letting the coach do the coaching but as far as what products we invest in we take charge. These are a few key factors to keep in mind. 1. Always rinse the suit with clean chlorine free water. 2. Always hang dry on a hanger that cannot cause snags. 3. Never let the child cram the suit in their swim bag. (keep the original box and a zip lock type bag to store the suit in until they get home) 4. Wear socks when putting the suit on and taking off. (prevents toe nails from snagging on the fabric) 5. Make sure the child is careful not to snag finger nails on the suit. 6. When our daughters first got "tech suits" they were around the age of 12. Mom helped them put them on the first time just to get them use to how to be careful. We have purchase suits in the dollar range of $80 on up to carbon pro suits in the amount of $550. We take this kind of investment seriously and so do our daughters. Following these steps we can usually get 15-20 meets out of a suit of this type before they start to wear out to much. Proper sizing is very important. Get a suit that is too tight and it will wear out sooner. We highly recommend you visit the TYR website and check the size charts for this specific suit. Each suit design, material and brand have different size charts. TYR, Speedo, and Arena are all different with their sizing. One last thing. You probably already know this but just incase, we recommend you visit the FINA website and check the most current approved suit list. They change this often as we learned the hard way with the Arena Carbon Pro suit. We hope this answers your question and that we did not bore you with our long answer.

A dive skin might be better than a wetsuit for lap swimming. However, I did a lot of diving with this and found it to be very comfortable and 'effortless,' so lap swimming might be okay if you are willing to strain your muscles slightly against its natural tendency to spring back to neutral position. The size is perfect for me - it is a size 14 and I am a size 14/16.

this summer I bought two O'Neil Youth Reactor full suits for my two kids. My son is 11 and my daughter is 9. I bought a size 10 for my 9 year old (which is small/petite for her age group). The suit was big on her (she normally wears a year behind her age) but the suit still fit ok. I expect next summer it'll fit closer to perfect. My 11 year old son is average to large and his 12 fit him pretty well. I expect he'll use it next summer as well, but after that will likely need another. I'd suggest buying the 8 for your daughter. Too small and the suit is useless. Even thought my daughters suit was loose, it didn't bother her at all, and she was thrilled to have the full after freezing in an ill-fitting shorty. this summer I bought two O'Neil Youth Reactor full suits for my two kids.

You are partly paying for brand, but they are freaking amazing. Well worth the 30 bucks, you might want to check some stores in your area though, sometime you can find better prices.

Yes, I use mine equally as much for diving and surfing. I am a tech diver and have used this suit in a variety of water conditions, ocean, bays, and river. I must have used this suit over 100 times last year between surfing and diving. It doesnt have any signs of breaking down on me at this point. It's great for the price. Hope this helpsbtw, I live in Florida and i wouldnt use this suit to dive in the winter. You may want something thicker depending on where you are.

I wore it in the ocean. It's a nice suit. Snorkle three times last week in it. Good bang for your buck.

They're hoping to find a sucker. I got a Medium at Ross Dress for Less for $19.99, which has them from time to time. Sports Authority has them for, last I checked, $29.99, in all sizes.

It doesn't really act like a wetsuit. It is comfortable, light-weight & fast drying. I wear it around walking, hiking, etc jump in the water & leave it on to dry. I am very sensitive to the sun, so that's why I wear it. I usually swim in warmer waters. In cold water, I'd wear a wetsuit.

The rep I talked to said she couldn't do...had to send me to "hardlines" whatever that is. She said she would send an email.Go to your order page though, and find the "found a lower price?" link and submit a claim.

Thanks for the interest in doing business with us! Buying from the manufacturer is more expensive than us..correct. Manufacturers put a retail price out there as service to it's shoppers. Selling retail can be expensive for them because they have much higher overhead. We are here to service you and give you the most competitive prices! Hope to help you out on this great item! Todd

I am not sure what % but it is flexible and I would think a good suit for water aerobics...I thought of using it for the same but so far have only used in the ocean. It is probably the right thickness because when you go to higher, say 2mm and 3mm the suits are generally less flexible with increasing thickness. This one is nice and thin and I use it in the summer when the water is between ~68-72F for surfing, skin diving, and boogey boarding. I like to be warm and also prevent sunburn so this works well. If I get cold the next time I am in the indoor pool, this is the suit I would use - not a 2 or 3mm suit.

That suit should be perfect, my 5 year old wore his earlier this year in 60 degree and cooler water, he is in a short arm short leg suit now that the water is upper 60s I've surfed my entire life in RI and have had lots if suits, this is a great suit for the price
