“This suit is outstanding for providing some buoyancy and warmth in cool open waters. I own this and the full-sleeve suit and I love this SO much more because it has much better shoulder mobility and is therefore much more comfortable. Provides good warmth around the legs/lower abdomen. Chest and arms get chilly and I do get some flushing around the neck/chest but I will wear this suit as late into the season as I possibly can because it's so much more comfortable than a long sleeve. Also, thank you BlueSeventy for the Athena fits! I am 4'11, athletic and pear-shaped and the slightly wider hips/thighs of Athena cuts (and the trimmable legs) make these suits fit so well on my short frame. This is my 4th BlueSeventy suit and I'm never looking anywhere else!”
