TYR Sport Men's Square Leg Short Swim Suit

I've been a long-time and former member of the military. I'm a competitive swimmer, so I've had my fair share of challenges. Over the years, I've worn my fair share of suits. At my local gym, I was looking for a place to swim. I dislike jammers because they rub against my knees, and I wanted something a little more modest than a brief. I went up a size because I'm wearing these for fitness rather than competitive swimming, and they're snug but not too tight. One feature I particularly like (and have never had in my 20 years of swimming) is that the liner is more of an internal brief, similar to running shorts - and I'm grateful for the extra help this design provides. I swim in a pool with a lot of chlorine, and I've had these for ten years. 15 times, then rinsed them in the shower, and there was little-to-no-residue. There isn't any fading. My leg is about a third of the way down my thigh, and I'm 5'10''.

I'm 6 feet 2 inches tall and 260 pounds, and the pools have finally reopened! After a ten-month wait, it turned out I needed new suits, so I gave this one a try. I'm a 39- I have a 40 inch waist, so I went with the size 38 on the size chart, which was a good choice because any larger would be floppy and sagging, and any tighter would strain the material. The chlorine level in the pool is currently high to help people feel safe while swimming, and the material is holding up well; with proper care, you'll get a lot of use out of these. I've been swimming in them for 30 hours and they still feel brand new; there are no signs of fraying or material breakdown.

long-lasting or long-lived Update: So, I've had this suit for six months and have only worn it once a week for 90 minutes at the local YMCA pool. I counted the swim sessions and came up with a total of 40. Total use time is 5 hours. It's a long way from the advertised 250 hours. br>br>It's only ever been used in that location, and it's dying. The seam running the length of the seat is nearly worn-out. Through and through, it has become transparent to the point where I'm worried it will split while in use. Just in case, I've started carrying a second bathing suit. Fortunately, I am a member of a men's underwater hockey team, so a wardrobe malfunction will not be a major issue. br>br>It appears to be a design flaw based on the location and nature of the wear; A seam is situated at a high point. Wear in the middle of the intergluteal cleft; During each leg kick, the seam abrades the adjacent suit material. br>br>Have only washed it by hand once a month with Dr. Bronner's Magic Soap (inert, pH balanced, no harsh ingredients), but I rinse it thoroughly without wringing until all chlorine odor is gone, and dry it immediately after use by hanging it on towel bar away from sunlight.

In the last 5 years, I've ordered about 6 of these. I use them as practice liners under a jammer suit, and I throw both of them in the dryer 5 or 6 times a week (which isn't recommended). This suit is a little too thin and clingy for my liking, but it works well as a liner because of those characteristics. A seam will rip out completely after about a year. Because I swim in a public pool, I always practice in two suits. I don't want a seam failure to cause a ruckus. In addition, when you dry your suits in the dryer, the seams tend to tear completely.

The gonads of this suit have a large seam running through them. The testes are cleaved in half if you wear it tight like it's supposed to fit. This isn't very attractive, and it's especially inconvenient if you're trying to ride your bike to the pool while wearing your swimsuit underneath your shorts. Once you're in the water, they feel perfectly normal. A suit with a flat panel front appeals to me the most.

I'm a fitness swimmer who swims 8,000 to 10,000 yards in four or five swims per week. These were purchased in the hopes of being both comfortable and long-lasting. They are, after all, very comfortable. However, after about 100 hours in the pool, they began to fade and stretch out. I've replaced them with TYR's 'Durafast Elite' square leg suit, which claims to be able to withstand prolonged exposure to chlorinated water. If you're just a casual swimmer, these should suffice-- If you plan on spending a lot of time in the pool, it's a good idea to spend a little more money on a suit that will last longer. br>br>UPDATE: br>br> It's been around 5 months now. I've been using a DURAFAST ELITE square for the past few months. leg suit. It has performed admirably after 75 hours of use. This is a suit that can withstand a lot of wear and tear. It's well worth the extra money, especially if you swim laps on a regular basis.

In very fitted items, I wear a 31" inseam, but based on the reviews, I went up to a 34" inseam for these. They fit fine and aren't worth returning, but if I ordered them again, I'd order the 32" size. The 34" is certainly roomy and comfortable, but it does ballon a little when I jump into the pool, etc. , indicating that I have a little too much space.

I own a variety of TYR suits and find that a 34" in the nylon/spandex blend fits well in both the jammer and the 3" brief. This square leg, on the other hand, felt generous at first, and after 5 or 6 uses, it became baggy. When I wear it over a jammer made of the same material, the waist is 2" bigger, and the leg openings are 2" bigger as well. Despite the fact that the jammer has been in use for a much longer period of time, this is still the case. I suppose the fit is determined by which vendor produces a specific suit style for TYR. When ordering TYR suits, here's another thing to keep in mind. Buy one size up if you plan to try one of the 100% nylon trainers. They have no "give" and are as hard as iron.
