Just bought a HUUB aerious wetsuit. First tried it on dry....I thought I was literally going to break my ribs the thing was so tight. Tried it at the pool and wow, letting a little water in the thing feels like a second skin. Was taking around 10 sec/100 yards off my times. I was swimming :48-:50 75's like it was nothing. Have 2 races this weekend and will report back on the results. So far this thing beats the crap out of my Xterra sleeveless that I've had for the last 6 years.
I don't have one but I met axteraa over at Alcatraz last year. He was using one and seemed pretty happy with it. He's a FOP swimmer so I think he's pretty picky.
Of course wetsuit choice should depend on your swimming form and body type but I think Huub is well regarded.
Day 1 went well. 13th overall swim. No constriction in the shoulders or chest. Last minute ditched the watch because i was concerned about getting the sleeves off. Anyone have a solution?
