Triathlon Wetsuit - Synergy Men's EpicSpeed Neoprene Sleeveless Top for Open Water Swimming

This is my first wet suit vest (I'm using it with TYR neoprene bottoms) for triathlons. I'm hooked. No more fighting full wetsuits for me. The arm opening and neck are soft and complete freedom of motion. And best of all NO CHAFFING. I swam 5 miles in my first workout with the vest, and not a single chafe. Wow! Also no hassles going to the bathroom with pre race nerves, once you've put it on. My swim splits are the same with the vest+neoprene bottoms, as they are with my full wet suit. It does pull up just a tiny bit when you start swimming, and I did get some water coming in at the back of my neck, but neither of these had any effect on it's performance. It's keeps a nice seal with the bottoms, so no water sloshing around your butt. I will mention that I'm 6'1" and 152 pounds, and I got a large, even though the sizing chart said medium. I've had bad experiences in the past, with mediums being too short/tight, from several different companies. I'm glad I did, because the Large works perfect, and fits my long torso. The zipper works perfect. When dry it goes on like any shirt, no hassles. When wet, it rolls off easily like any wetsuit. I might even sell my full wet suit, now. I like the vest+botton idea a lot better.

i followed what is in size matrix and I cannot wear the item, it's too small. Im thinking of buying 1 or 2 size higher next time

This is one of those products that you buy and use for a long time so you don’t want to settle for less than the best. Warm, fully flexible, and well proportioned. If you straddle sizes in shirts, I would round up when order this so it’s easier to put on and take off.

Went with the XL, good fit around the shoulders however a little too long in the body so bunches up in the center back. Ok for training but not an idea fit for Racing.

I have had to return two of these wetsuits for the same reason. The neck hole is so tight in the front that it chokes me, yet the rear of the neck hole is loose. The choking is so extreme that I feel it even after taking it off and I only had it on for a minute. I felt the choking sensation on the first one I returned for several days and I suspect I will feel on this one for a long time as well.I'm 5' 10" & 152 lbs and I purchased a Medium size. My neck isn't large. I have purchased 4 Medium size Synergy wetsuits and they all fit me well. It's like the neck hole was put on backward. I don't understand why another defective suit was sent out as a replacement???

I am 5'10" and weigh about 170, with a long torso. I selected the large size and it fits great. I bought the wetsuit pants earlier this summer, and the top is a nice addition as the weather starts to get colder (but still not cold enough to bust out the full wetsuit). It lets a small amount of water in through the back of the neck, but not enough to be noticeable or annoying will swimming. I also like how it adds some buoyancy to my upper body. I got a bit of chafing under my armpits the first time I used it but applying a bit of glide seems to have fixed that problem.

Haven't a good buoyancy, could be thicker, mainly in chest area.

Hi, everybody. The salesman was perfect. Order came quickly. But I don't have a standard body. The m-size jacket was small and the m-size pants were my size. Size L for the jacket was simply not available. Thanks. Philip Nosov-triathlon coach
