Actually it depends on your body type and your need. I'm a long torso guy with pant size is 32, but i wear the TYR Avictor in size 20 (the smallest).

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

Of course there is going to be more intricate factors at play as well!

Fun thing about the Finis Vapor, which just enforces how individual preference is very dominant, is that my roommate in college would only use this suit for breaststroke as he like the compression right above his knees.

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

All suits will have individual preference. That being said sometimes people think they like something specific because it felt good in one race where they smashed a PB and while being confident in a suit is huge, some suits are objectively better for almost any individual in my opinion.

[@Thomas-is3pw]

But what if my races are close together, should I keep it on or take it off. How long can I keep it on to avoid stretching

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

Keep it on!

[@希特勒貓-h8d]

May I ask what brand of swimming trunks are at 9:41 ?

[@marccheckpoint5353]

Could you propose a document with the size you use on different tech suits ? Thank you.

[@calebskowronek3231]

I’ve heard lots of mixed things on this topic and want your opinion, should I wear a new tech suit (not in water) a few times just around their house to stretch it out? Or should I just wait until the meet to put it on?

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

Try it on before the meet simply to make sure it fits but once you have done that take it off and wait to race. Compression is a key feature so you don't want to "stretch it out".

[@hwendt33]

I agree man!

Hi Sonny, another great video thanks. my son is a bit on the small side still and hopefully has a lot of growing to do. The issue we have is trying to find a good quality tech suit to fit him. He started of just using the Arena ST2 as it was the only one that would fit tightly enough, he is now in a size 26 training jammer (Funky Trunk or Speedo) but none of the Arena or Speedo smallest adult sizes fit. He has had the Arena R-Evo one before but they didnt last long and fell apart quite quickly, he has also been using the Speedo Junior Fastskins but they dont have a waistband seal (he needs this as they keep pulling down). Have you got any recommendations for us? Many Thanks in advance. Andy H PSC

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

get a XXS Mizuno or even the children's size. Best suits and made for kids sizes. (kids sizes are 130/140). XXS is tiny as well but smallest mens size. Get the Mizuno GX Sonic 3, 4 or 5.

[@singletstud]

Great videos, thanks for making them. Legit question for you - all these tech suits are so tight - where does your junk go? I don’t mean to be rude or disrespectful, I’m just curious!

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

It just works 😂 sometimes not in a very comfortable way....

[@MediaMusich]

I have questions. my waist is 63 cm but hips 77 I bought an arena Revo limited edition tech suit. there said that my size is 26 but the swimsuit was like for a 7 year old child.

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

Yes they are for a jr suit so sizes are much smaller. Carbon 26 is much bigger than R-Evo jr 26!

[@MediaMusich]

My son is 6’3 about 189.. his warmups are a 32… I am going with ur recommendations for the mizuno v.. I just want to make sure I get him the right size.. these sizing charts are confusing. On the mizuno site the sizes are sz, sm, med, Large. He’s a 32 waist. What would u recommend? Please help

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

L would be my guess

[@p6id]

Ive been thinking about buying tyr venzo tech suit, I have a waist of 29-30 and looking at the size guide a 25 matches that. So should i get the size 25 or smaller, and if so smaller what size should I get?

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

Probably one more size down, I'm 33 inch waist and wear a 26

[@mguardiola]

Also how many sizes down should u usually go down with tech suits? Sorry I’m ordering a Jaked on sale on swim outlet. I need it to be perfect

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

I am training brief 32 and I race generally with a 26/28. That being said, every brand of tech suit size different. What Jaked model is it?

[@mguardiola]

TheSwimsuitGuy I am hoping to buy the Jaked JKeel. Have u tried it?

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

@@mguardiola I haven't unfortunately, it doesn't seem much of a discount though (I may be wrong)? I think some sizes of Mizuno GX Sonic III are currently almost as cheap at the moment (best suit on market as of 2018 by a long shot) and if you want to save some money check out my review of the Mizuno MX Sonic 02! Just some food for thought.

[@mguardiola]

TheSwimsuitGuy oh ok I will definitely check it out. Is it like adidas suit where it is specifically for one stroke

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

@@mguardiola the Mizuno GX Sonics come in ST (sprint) and MR (multi race). The MX Sonic is a budget suit (like 50usd) that other that stitched seams is super higher quality and one version only.

[@Loraxus98]

Hi! Im a bit of a shorter guy but quite bulky around legs and butt. So i wonder if you would say the Arena Carbon Pro would work for breaststroke?(sprinter) Considering it because i have the flex VX but it feels a bit to long for me as you say in the video. Or does the pro restrain to much movement? Or maybe helps the legs move together abit? PS my store still has the Pro's thats why im considering them. Thanks!

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

Try them on if it's a store? I deffo prefer the cut. The Pros are very tight but I love them for sprinting fly and free. If you want a smaller cut but more flexibility check out Speedo LZR Elite/Valor.

[@Loraxus98]

@@TheSwimsuitGuy Wow fastest answer ever! Nice! Okey, you have never tried them with breastsroke? Would try them on if i could but its a webshop, and my team have a deal with arena so we can get one pair for free each year, so cant try another brand sadly, but thansk! :)

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

@@Loraxus98 ahhh ok, I would have used them for breast years ago and it was fine but I'm not the most competitive breaststroker so maybe my standards aren't the highest? Anyhow they have great compression and are good for sprints, if you want flexibility and comfort then go Air. Not Flex or Ultra.

I’m a 32 size waist suit. I wanna order a Mizuno GX III spring model but it doesn’t have the size. It says large medium small and so on. Which size would give me the best fit for a 32

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

32 in training or 32 in other race brands? I wear 32 in training and a medium Mizuno. But 26 in most other brands? Can you tell me your height, waist and weight maybe?

[@smartestideas9630]

I’m a 32 in training. I’m 6’2 and 170 pounds. I usually go for a 28 in my tech suits like my speedo lzr elite 2 and a 30 in my arena carbon. They were both from my older brother who swims. The arena was rly tight but I’m going To go for a 27-26 next time.

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

@@smartestideas9630 I'd guess medium, your my height but weigh less so should be about right. But sounds like you wear to big normally based on them numbers.

[@hege4318]

I find the sizes so confusing. I used Tyr Fusion 2 in size 36, and it was really big. Just as easy as putting on a normal swimsuit (could have put a football inside the suit at it would still fit.) So I bought Tyr venzo since in size 32 since people said go 2 sizes down, but I can't get it over my hips (Like Michelle Khare testing video), it even started to rip a bit in the seam for the part at the shoulder area (only tried for 5 minutes to put it on, but when it started ripping I stopped). Now I've bought a Tyr Avictor in size 34, and hope it fits when it arrives! :/

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

It's because no two suits are the same. For example the Fusion 2 is a much more flexible than the Venzo. Just because they are both TYR they are not similar suits at all therefore fit and sizing is completely different.

[@hege4318]

@@TheSwimsuitGuy ah, then it's really difficult to find the right size 😅 and I live in Norway, so there are no store to try any suits (and to get the suit it costs about 150 dollar in tax to get it into the country) 🙈 I really hope my new avictor will fit 😊
