I am looking at a skirt sports tank. the sizing is medium 8-10 or large 12-14

I am a 10 -12 (why can't manufacturer's EVER size them that way? ? ? ?

Does anyone have any experience w/ this brand and would I be better off getting the large size or the medium seeing as I would have to choose

an 8 would definately be too small and a 14 too big

You may have already answered it - I am very short waisted so most things are too long for me. I was thinking more on the tighter side is better than too loose, especially from the front when bending over on the bike.

both tops I am looking at are black w/ fuschia trim so they would match my Ruby Ahhhhhhhh :) And black forgives any middle age spread and rolls much better

I don't really know the answer to your question, but I really like the things they make. I bought a ton of things when they had some of their skirts on sale for $12. I really like my transition skirt.

thanks Kacie tri_ing! I am glad to hear you like their products.

Well I couldn't decide on style so I ordered both - one has a back pocket and one a cleavage pocket so i wanted to see both of them. I ordered the medium.

and . . . . of course I thought if i get free shipping anyway :rolleyes: I could use a few other things . . . Like a new pair of zoomer fins, and new magenta vanquisher goggles, . . . and a fun, funky blue and violet silicon swim cap, . . . and a reversible tyr swimsuit.

I just bought a new swimsuit but figured I had better have 2, I also have a new swim cap and moderately old goggles but I always keep a spare on hand because they break or rip w/ no prior notice. I HAD to have the fins because this summer I will have to swim at the Y and they don't have all the toys - so there :D

This is when it is REALLY nice to not have a partner I have to explain anything too :D
