I am a 32-33 waist so I followed the sizing chart and selected size 28. Painful. Now, I'm ordering a 32 size though it is recommended for a 36 which is a size offset I wear in NO other clothing.
The construction of the suit seems more than adequate, however.
This suit is fabulous just stretches out a little more than expected. Get one size smaller. Cut is great. At first try it seems smaller than it really is. After a week or so of wearing it stretches out just a little more. Unless you have a big bottom suggest you get one size smaller.
I swim laps about 5-6 days per week. This suit fits absolutely perfectly. There is no gap at the back that creates drag when the suit fills with water. I bought this one because it was on sale and I had always wanted to try it. I also like the Aquablade brief for the same reasons. It also fits like a glove but doesn't seem to hold up as well.
