I have been open water swimming for over 25 years and have done so with many different wetsuits. None of them have compared to Blueseventy. I'm now on my 4th suit. The material quality is excellent. The seams never fail. And, I always get a great fit. My customer service experience has always been good. I'm now swimming with a Men's Thermal Reaction and it's performance under winter conditions has been the best. Putting on and taking off the suit is exceptionally easy due to the thermal lining which really matters on cold days. These suits are not cheap but you do get your money's worth. You can pay less but I believe you will also get less. You won't be disappointed with a Blueseventy.
