I use my suit for recreational kayaking and swimming. The suit was easy to get into, I learned that it is so helpful to put my suit on like leggings, you pull the wetsuit up the legs well before putting the upperbody on because you now have the right material for the upper body and if you think you pulled up to far, the suit adjust as you move. The key is getting it up and with this suit, it was simple. I use a skinsuit under my wetsuit. I don't like to struggle and I have read many many places skinsuits help and they do. I have worn my suit without one and it was fine. The waist is very stretchy so I like that I can breath easily. I wear a 10 in this suit and the chart was correct with my measurements.
My new wet suit is so flattering. I like the sizing and I feel confident in it. It is really stretchy so I don't even notice I have a suit on. I also like my new wetsuit jacket playa. My jacket is perfect wind breaker on the beach and keeps me warm.
Yes, I recommend for women who want to stay active. You don't need to wear a triathlon wetsuit for swimming. I had a tri suit and it would tear so easily and I thought what am I doing, this suit is holding me back. I got rid of it and read about stretchy suits and Hyperflex was mentioned in a group so I had to try it. The suit has a lot of stretch. It was made for surfers who paddle and need to paddle and jump up on the board quickly. I wear my suit in the pool too, I use wetsuit wash and rinse like I am suppose to. I feel I will get many years of use.
Not only is this wetsuit very warm, it’s extremely flexible. I use it for surfing. Highly recommend.
My suit is very comfortable. I am chest 40 waist 37 hips 41. I wear a size 14 in this suit. I was all over the place on the size chart and my size was correct. I made sure to prioritize my chest and waist. Happy the suit is stretchy.
