TYR- Category 3 Wetsuit

I recently acquired the new TYR Category 3 wetsuit. It had a lot of hype, so I was really excited to have one of my own.

Got it in the pool tonight for the first time.

Wow! This thing is amazing. I had heard it feels like swimming downhill, and... it really does. The buoyancy really was incredible; I could hardly keep myself under water when standing in the pool. The suit is really comfortable in the water and kept me at a nice temperature. Movement wasn't restricted at all. The paneled core area makes for good position while rotating, and the arms move freely. I didn't notice much coming from the grab panels on the forearms, but who knows, I'm sure it helps somewhat. 

All in all, this suit gets a 5/5. I had to move up a size, as it's snug. I'd suggest going up a size from the TYR recommendations. It's a bear to get on, but I think that will improve after a few uses, and with the use of some tri-slide.
