Hi Sonny, what would you choose: the glide or the primo? It seems the glide has some benefits like the taping and dual layering?

[@camdenrichter9558]

Thank you for reviewing these suits in such detail! It is really given me a better idea on which suit to get for the next season.

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

Glad you liked the video!

It was an absolute pleasure, thanks for supporting me!

[@Stryker-ye7wn]

This video might be my favorite video out of all the videos that you have produced! I found this review to be very descriptive as well as informing on the next generation of Arena tech suits that are made for multistroke swimmers like I! Love the vids, KEEP IT UP!!!

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

Wow, thank you!

[@brianyikaitay3981]

The review on the suit is very detailed! Thanks for reviewing it, the carbon glide is a suit that I've been waiting very long to launch and you just gave me a lot of references on whether is it a suit that I should buy so really a good jod and keep it up!!!

Great review! Definitely considering purchasing... can’t wait for the Gx sonic V to come out though! Decisions decisions

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

I'd say you've got to decide if you want a sprint suit (Mizuno) or a more versatile suit better for 400+ (Glide)

[@joseardzm]

Thanks for the review. So you say you would follow the size you use for your carbon air on this one? I got the 28, I have a 28 carbon air, and I might also think I could fit on a 26 carbon glide. However, I did not order 26 because I could not get in on a 26 carbon air back then. And my body measurements are roughly the same. Bottom line is that I am on the lower range of the 28 and on the higher range of the 26 body measures. My waist is 80 and hips 95cm. 26 is recommended for W 75-80 and H 90-95. 28 is W 80-85 and H 95-100.

[@christophercapdevielle6105]

I really liked the video, thanks for the info

[@paulchxn]

I do mostly 50, 100 free since the glide isn’t the best for sprints would you recommend the pro or flex?

Hi, first: thank you for the in-depth reviews, they are great! For me personally I have this question: I start focusing more on my mid-distance events and I’m wondering, which suit you could recommend for the 200/400IM and 200fly?

Hey glad you like the content. Something like the TYR Avictor or Carbon Air would be my pick

Love your vids, I subscribed. As a Sprinter, what should I buy, the TYR Venzo or the new Adidas Adizero XX?

[@angelonnaji1132]

How does this suit compare to the finis Rival 2.0 ? Love the vids

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

Both have a lot of similar qualities actually. They are comfortable and versatile. The Arena has much better water repellency and longevity, the Finis has a little more buoyancy. Compression levels are pretty similar. The Finis is high waist and short of leg, the Arena is longer on leg but lower on waist!

[@marwanosama3740]

i have a size 24 carbon air2 but its not really thight should i go down a size for this suit?

If it's too big absolutely. A poor fitting tech suit defeats the object!

[@leoarrowsmith5240]

Would you prefer the speedo pure intent or carbon glide in general??

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

Ones a sprint suit and ones a middle D/distance/IM suit. I'm a sprinter so I'm always going to say Pure Intent. That's a preference thing though and not because one is objectively better than the other.

[@blastifysyt7683]

what arena tech suit should I get if i’m an IMer, and breaststroker?

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

Carbon Glide or Air2

[@adamtrigg6332]

Nice one son, but if you had a 26 the compression would have been more?

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

I've talked to people who've sized down and still no compression. It's a materiel thing more than anything.

[@danvu8630]

Would you say the mizuno gx sonic 4 mr is a viable breastroke suit due to the extremely limited supply of the 3 mr?

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

I've heard great things regarding it for breast but I've never actually tried that model. Remember the V MR is out now though!

[@ClayIsBae]

MR 4 is my favorite suit for breast stroke.

[@danvu8630]

Joe Shmoe how does it compare to the mr 3

[@gusmarin6031]

Looking for a suit in my 500 yard free . Trying to decide between Carbon Glide and Air2. Thoughts?

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

Air2 if you want the lightest suit to wear over that distance. Glide if you want a bit more buoyancy and sophistication!

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

Thanks for the tips. I know the audio was really bad especially on the second half. I used to use a wired mic but was really awkward to use when in a suit and I realised my phone mics were better if I was close enough, which I wasn't when I had the phone on the floor a couple of feet away from me 😬 I'll hold it in my hand as you said next time!

TheSwimsuitGuy hope it will help to improve your content!keep us updated by the new suits reviews🤙🏻 btw which suit you would recommend for 50m and 100m free - finis rival 1 or carbon air 1? I’m very limited in budget and I have swam earlier in arena carbon pro2 and carbon flex before but they become loose so I need an update

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

@@aleksisgrauduzis4459 for them events out of them two suits you'll probably have a good time either way. I'm gonna say the Rival because the taping gives it some snap. The Air is great but nowhere near compression of the Pro which I wish was still available!

Expensive - yes, but is it the best? Do half square meter of high tech cloth make you faster in water or is it just a placebo effect and feelings of a swimmer? Is it scientifically proven and researched? These are the questions.

Suits make you faster, this is factual. Is there elements of placebo that help you mentally? Of course but they do factually make a difference to a degree.
