Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fits like a second skin and for less than $200! Alpine mermaid approved!

Need an Ironman-legal, athlete-legal, quality triathlon wetsuit at a great price? In a sea of expensive suits, Synergy wetsuits blow everyone away! Chosen initially because of the price, I soon found that upon checking out I was getting much more than a good deal. Coating, cold water testing (early summer temps in Tahoe hover around 45 degrees), the seamless feel inside, and the price point under $200 mean the hardest part about choosing this suit is finding the right size for you! And because customer survival is so AMAZING, you can ask them directly without the guesswork. Call or email with your questions as they are ready and waiting to help! If you happen to live nearby, you can arrange a fitting appointment where the staff will not only help you choose the right size, but also help you try it on. The initial fitting of the wetsuit requires some 'management' and they know how to make the experience as painless as possible. The box also includes a great fitting and fitting guide and some helpful tips on caring for and storing your suit. Some tips for trying on costumes. Try to be as dry and cool as possible. In the afternoon or after a workout when you're hot and sweaty, you're bound to get hot and sweaty, which is the polar opposite of prime fit conditions. Think ahead, cool and dry your pre-suit. If you have fingernails, try using gardening gloves with rubber fingers to protect your suit from punctures. For the price, it's difficult to list any downsides, but my only complaint is that the price makes me want more than one style. Hardly a minus! Suitable for all shapes and sizes. For reference, I'm 5'8", 170 pounds, swimmer's build with broad shoulders and full hips. I wear a size W3 comfortably. I tried the WX first because I was concerned that it would fit my torso and hips but I had too much fabric on my shoulders and back so the W3 fits a lot tighter without compromising on length.This alpine mermaid is so excited to step into the deep end and be warm and toasty in my Synergy suit to stay! Hope this helps you find your perfect fit! Happy Sailing!
