Review on Synergy Men's SynSkin Skinsuit: Triathlon Swimskin, Ironman USAT & FINA Approved by Kenny Marozas

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great product at a great price

To start with the disclosure, I am a multiple user of the Synergy product. Trisuit, wetsuit and other items. I loved their products, fit, quality and most importantly the great price. High quality at a reasonable price. I'm a new age triathlete going into race 6. I am 6-3 years old, 210 pounds. I provide all of the above contextual information. I just had my first dip in the pool. First you will realize that this is a skintight suit, and it should be. It can be a little tight at first, but after 1-2 laps in the pool, that feeling eases and a feeling of great support lingers. It literally made me feel like I was in a streamlined position and if only in my imagination I felt the suit slide through the water. The freedom of movement of the hands is not restricted and the compression provides optimal support. The size chart that Synergy provides is very accurate, you just need to know that initially it is very convenient and almost impossible to zip up yourself, so you need help. Synergy has a great YouTube video showing you how to put the suit on. It's short and has a lot of common sense, but it was very helpful and informative, I recommend checking it out. To remove the suit, simply lift the zipper and pull and the suit opens up for easy removal even while running. In terms of speed, I'm consistently swimming at 2:05/100 yards, while suiting up I've been in the 1:50-1:55 range. So I will testify that you will need time to swim. In my case, I suspect that because of the support and holding in a leaner position, the key is a fairly significant reduction. This decline lasted for several sessions. This material feels very unique and the water literally drips and beads off the suit. Haven't used it all season yet but the quality looks good and like their other products I don't expect any problems. However, should they ever occur, I know Synergy Customer Service will do their best to help. I have used them before for other issues and their service is just top notch, they make you feel like they care and it shows. That's one of the reasons I'm a regular/repeated user of a Synergy product, I know that no matter what I'm dealing with, there is a company that stands behind their products and is VERY focused on their customers. Excellent. I would highly recommend this suit to anyone but especially for those new to the sport you can't beat quality gear at this price point.

Pros
  • Everything great!
Cons
