   I had a bear of a time getting into this suit. I purchased a size 12, my usual size, but it appears to run at least two sizes smaller. If you are flexible and like to wear your suits as tight as possible, this may be the swimsuit for you. In my case, I donated this suit to a small friend then purchased a very similar suit in color and design: Speedo’s “Spliced Keyhole Endurance” suit, which is much easier to pull on due in part to the different design of the back straps and because it isn’t cut as tight (I purchased a 14 instead of a 12 and find that it is a bit large).

   Ordered per Speedo directions, I realize that speedos are to be snug and form fitting in order to create less drag while swimming, but did not realize just how HIGH the leg openings come up. If you have “love handles” they are going to fall out under the leg openings, and there is no tugging it down to cover yourself more. This is the BAYWATCH style suit – if you are modest, this is NOT the suit for you.

   Everything about this suit is fine with the fit and cut. I wasn’t sure if this was the one with they Hydro Bra, so when it came, I was slightly disappointed that it doesn’t have it. Otherwise, I haven’t had any issue with the suit moving, riding, or allowing my ample topside to get rowdy. I considered rating it a 4/5 due to the lack of the Hydro Bra, but that isn’t a flaw with the suit, just discrepancies in product information listed from one seller to the next.
