I swim 3-5 days a week for 50 minutes each time. The suit is very comfortable. I like the coverage hydrobra gives. But it does moves around when I use the swimsuit wringer to dry it. So i have to readjust the bra before each use, but that's not too big of a deal. This is the most flattering cut and design (the way the stripes run down the side) out of all the other suits i tried, alot more so than the the speedo with the splicing on the side that claims to give a slimming affect (which it didn't). I can tell the material will last a long time. I ordered another speedo suit to just switch up days of use, but i have a feeling I will be ordering another one of these pretty soon. As long as speedo continues to sell these, i feel like this will be my favorite.

I have been buying Quantum Splice suits for years in a size 38. They always fit and looked great. Suddenly in the spring of 2011 the fit on the bottom of the suit changed drastically. The bottom part of the suit is now cut at least 2 sizes smaller than before. A 38 fits like a 34. I now have to purchase a size 40 to even get the suit on, but the top on the 40 is too large. The new cut is very uncomfortable and is unflattering on the body.

Great looking suit...too bad I could barely get it on. Am an athletic 5'5" 130 lbs size 6 and I could barely get the 36 on. May exchange...probably for the 40!

I read other comments that said they changed the cut of this suit. This is my second or third quantum purchase, and I too, feel they changed the cut a little. There seems to be less coverage in the rear. However, it is still wearable. I just feel a little less covered. Still high quality and attractive style.

I also have worn this suit for years and recently bought 3 new ones - and the cut is no longer the same - the leg opening is higher and too tight - please Speedo - go back to the old cut!
Comments about SPEEDO Quantum Splice Super Pro Back:
I'm a size 10 and according to the chart a size 36 should have been fine. But it wasn't! The suit was way too small - like a size 6 and boy oh boy was it skimpy. I would not have been comfortable wearing this at my local YMCA. A bikini would have provided me more coverage. I had to return it. Will try another Speedo as I like the quality.

Tis suit is awesome. It fits me sooooo well and I use it 2-3 times a week for lap swimming. It is dry by the time I stretch Fter my swim and I can put it directly into my bag after changing, no swim suit dryer required!
The pool I swim in has a ridiculously high amount of chlorine and in the past I have noticed fading by this point. The color is still e same as the day I bought it. Definitely getting Lycra in the future.

It is good to see others remark the fit has changed. I too wore this suit for years and found my recent purchase would not go over my hips even though my body has not changed. I thought they resized it and so I bought the 38 instead of 36. Big mistake. It is too big in the water. Speedo customer service couldn't imaging what the problem could be. What other suit should I buy that has the same fit as before?

I purchased the suit a size larger than the size I would measure to fit. The suit is so tight at the bottom and the top is loose. I'm a size 6-8 pants and a 34dd. The fit isn't good.
Comments about SPEEDO Quantum Splice Super Pro Back:
I wanted to love this suit but I have to agree with an earlier reviewer that the bottom is cut much smaller than it should be in proportion to the top. I am a D cup and the top wasn't even a little bit tight while the bottom was absurdly small. Sizing up wouldn't have fixed it as the top would just have been too big. Returned it.

Bought two of these to use in my aqua aerobics class. I bought one of these over five years ago. Holds us well and is very attractive. Striping makes waist look smaller.
