I got lucky with size selection. Fits great but compared to the older one I am replacing…I want to know who are the contortionists that think the top to bottom zipper is a good idea. The zipper sucks But it fits once I can maneuver into it…..

I have to agree with the other reviewers that complained about the sizing - I followed the guidelines & ordered a 26 and 28, both of which were way too small. I now have a 30 and 32 on the way but will lose the new customer 10% discount I got on the 1st returned order. I also don't like the zipper direction, makes it much more difficult to get on, especially since I have arthritis in my hands. It would be perfect if they reversed that, as otherwise I love the suit - the cut is great, very stylish while still providing great sun coverage on my chest and back. 

My 11 and 13 yo water polo players love this suit in terms of comfort and fit.  However, the zipper is problematic as it breaks easily if anyone tugs at it.  We have gone through 6 suits in 1 year already.  I'm stuck buying them as my youngest refuses any other suit but the $$$ adds up.

I use this suit for water polo and its great for that. I did have to add a homemade pull cord in order to zip it down (closed), but after I got it closed I got rid of the pull cord and tucked the tab into the little pocket. After getting home tonight from the pool though I couldn't get the zipper tab out of that little pocket, so will need some help with that. The way the zipper is makes it very hard for your opponents to mess with your suit so that's a big plus.

Covers my back to protect from sun ehen swimming laps outside. The underarm material rubbed my innerupper arms and they became irritated. Maybe not bedt for lap swimminh
