    Hmm. Not sure of the fabric, will look it up, but it's a Speedo suit in their Endurance fabric. I really hate to dump it because I love the design (dark blue seguing up to medium blue in a kind of Matrix-pattern), but this rash is gonna kill me. I'd think it was the suit being too small, because I've had to struggle to get into it ever since I bought it, but I've used it without problems for over a year and it's fit beautifully once on. I have big shoulders from climbing, but surely that's common among swimmers too. So I think the size is right and it's just the material getting saggy some places and starting to shift a little.

    Thanks for the feedback!

    60% Polyester/40% PBT Polyester. Import.
    PBT is probably some proprietary polyester. I couldn't find the % of lycra.

    oooooh.
    I went to the TYR website.
    I want them all
    I guess some of the prints are vaguely reminiscent of 80s rock bands in lycra, but it looks a lot cooler on a swimsuit.

    I think I like this one best
