Really makes you wonder what brands like arena and speedo are doing. They are completely dedicated to swimming yet can't compete with a multi sports brand. If Mizuno's were more attainable in Europe, other brands would have to step up

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

Yes I really hope Mizuno EU bring the swim range to us!

[@noahpalmer6653]

@@TheSwimsuitGuy is that a possibility or just a hope?

[@PrimoSurfer]

From how he just swam his 50 fly race i definitely think Mizuno could come to EU.

Bros mizuno’s n1 glazer😭😭😭🙏(love your content man❤️❤️❤️)

I bought this suit because of what you said during your first look at it. I went 1:00.5 in my scy 100 breast and dropped 2 seconds to get the cut I’ve been wanting! Just wanted to say that I love it

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

Wahoooo

[@erickvalencia5407]

Congratulations on that Win mister!!! Watching you it made me feel like when watching my son on competition!!! His favorite color is red as well.

[@chriscalhoun2795]

Outstanding! Thanks for the feedback Sonny.

[@GoatKingSwims]

As a 12 year old age group swimmer, I find that this suit is the best for sprinting. My main events are the 50 and 100 fly and I have taken the times off that I needed to get into regional championships

[@Annitamaxwynnn]

Thanks for the review, been looking forward to this!!! However, will you be reviewing the new Speedo 2.0 suits?

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

Yup they arrive next week

[@thecjdiazshow]

Love the reviews, planning on going to Japan this summer and want to visit their physical store. What size should I buy for the NV if I’m a 25 low in the TYR Venzo?

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

Probably L but just try them on

[@zz94400]

Excellent review Sony!very good vidéo as usual.did you test the jaked Brand for sprinters ?Salim from paris

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

Thanks, haven’t tried a Jaked in a while

[@fenypoo]

I’m going to Japan this spring and will probably visit the mizuno & arena Japan stores! I may end up buying my next suit there but what would you ultimately recommend for a 100/200 breaststroker ?

[@cammie5757]

I really want to pick these up but I have heard that the waist is quite tight and the legs are more loose. I am deciding between the aqua force x and gx sonic nv. Any thoughts?

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

get the NV, its the best :)

[@noahhyun3172]

The sonic V was tighter on the legs and as I grew, it actually became a little too tight only in the quads. I got the sonic vi NV in the same size and it felt amazing!

[@1FontaineCreaturae]

What you’re describing is what the Sonic 3 was infamous for. Ever since, the IV, V, and VI ranges have had those issues fixed.

[@robinhorn8321]

what suit would you recommend for long distance swimming or hobby swimmers with more durability and maybe even comfort in mind. that could also include forbidden swim tech suits. Thant for your videos ☺ 👍

[@sharontrigg34]

Top review!!

[@anthonyburke7669]

Thanks, dude!!

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

Glad to help!

[@RKzAFfan]

Watching the Olympics and quite surprised. Am I mistaking or have I only seen one Mizuno GX Sonic (the CR) on Foster in the 200 IM event. I actually haven’t seen the NV in the finals?😮

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

Maxime, Crooks, Proud just to name a few

[@RKzAFfan]

Thanks Sonny. It’s hard to catch it all with the broadcast (on tv) we have, it’s really not great. Seems like Speedo and TYR are most present especially with US swimmers and with the team custom colours. I was purposefully looking it for the Mizunos 😊 my ordered NV is now in customs and the CR is on the way 😁 P.S. those orders are based on your input and videos! 👍

[@ethanchase1692]

Would you take this suit or the new Arena Primo suit?

[@SergitoMartin96]

WOW I can’t wait for the next review. Please, something to 100/200 breastrokers 🙌🏽

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

Id recommend the 6 CR which is next review!

[@victorsimic1796]

Merry Christmas and Happy holidays man! Any updates on the Speedo Pure intent/valor 2.0?

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

Just arrived to me

[@aidanlightfoot2302]

Got mine today am I the only one ripping my knuckles putting it on ? Just wanted to see how it fits today and barely got it on. Does it get easier to put on with use ?

[@lucafrancisco1497]

i’ve tried to get this suit on 3 times i ordered an xs from the sizing guide but it doesn’t fit me so if i was anyone i would size up i ending up ordering the gx sonic v st

[@adamtrigg6332]

Yes it took me ages at nationals last year.

[@nickstarcevich]

How much better would you say you like it than the GX Sonic III ST and why exactly?

[@blitz580]

I think im too used to wearing the arena carbon air2 because its not tight so it feels comfortable but i recently got a 2nd hand mizuno gx sonic 3 but it feels far too tight even tho its a suit too big for me

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

Yes it feels tight but give it a swim and you’ll see why people love them

[@RKzAFfan]

Hey Sonny, what would you choose for: 50m and 100m age grouper, the 6NV or Primo? The main strokes are bf, bs, im.

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

Primo

[@user-zc1sz2tb4v]

Are you planing make a review of fini hydrox also?

[@TheBigstuarty]

I’ve got a size small for the gx sonic 5 and wear a 24/25 fur speedos. Should I keep with the small for the gx sonic 6 or size up to the medium?

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

It the same sizing, only size up if you would for V

[@evandash1533]

Do you like it more than the iii st?

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

Yes

[@tysonhuynh3460]

When is the CR review coming?

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

Not sure. 2024 ahah

[@somerandomperson1825]

Where can you get it from? I’ve tried looking for ages but I can’t find any in large

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

I got mine in Japan but know there is stock issues

[@lnoite]

@TheSwimsuitGuy I've got the 4 MR in a Large, and it took me 30min to put it on the first time but now it's a couple years and I can do it in 2 or even less. Even wet. Would you get this in a Large or Medium?

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

L

[@FeraGamer-zk5vh]

hi i wanted to buy this suit and was betwen a size medium and a large what would you recomend?

[@astrokira3]

I'm going to Japan soon, hopefully I can get my hands on one I'm a 25 low waisted in a Venzo. What size should I get?

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

L

[@falkezhd8035]

Maybe I will try this suit for my 50 and 100 SCM Breaststroke, thank you for the review 🙏 Which size do you wear here?

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

I’m wearing an L, you should give a go.

[@noahhyun3172]

Felt amazing for my 100 scy breast!

[@jaredshum7394]

What size did you wear? I’m a 24/26 in Arena tech suits so I’m assuming that would make me an XS/S in Mizuno.

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

I’m L and wear 26/28 in arena.

[@LuisGarcia-mo7fi]

Do you feel you can wear this suit for a 200m freestyle?

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

I personally could but I like compression for everything

[@timothysamet8410]

Hear anything about the women’s nv from others?

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

A friend gave me positive reviews

[@jeremytan4874]

I wear a size 26 in venzo but i tore a large gx 5, Im only 5,10 and have very large quads so should i be sizing up to an Xl or try for a large again?

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

if you ripped go up a size

[@elmermarcos8805]

I really want to know which one to get, between a mizuno gx sonic 5 st or a mizuno gx sonic 6 nv (I’m a pure sprinter)

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

NV

[@lucafrancisco1497]

i’m a age group swimmer and just ordered the XS version my measurements were right on with it should i have sized up into a small?

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

Wait and see if it fits now, if it’s too small swap it

[@user-zc1sz2tb4v]

What a bout the fini suit? It's the same level of mizuno nv? Because ive heard a lot of people talking a lot of good things of it and sayind it is also in anothe level

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

Not it’s not on the same level

[@user-ew9qn9if5i]

Would you recommend this suit for sprint breastroke or is there a better one on the market for breastroke

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

Yes I would recommend

[@felixjedbratt367]

What mizuno suit do you recommend for 200 freestyle/butterfly?

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

CR

[@reiinoo_]

is the nv too compresive for sprint in breastroke? or should i go to the cr for breast

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

Answer is based on how much mobility you want

[@reiinoo_]

@@TheSwimsuitGuythansk!

[@kngsuper5531]

how does the suit feel over a long meet (3/4 hours of wearing the suit)

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

It would be tight but fine , I’d recommend changing suit every couple of races tbh

[@lukelamb3591]

Would you recommend this suit for 100 and 200 backstroke ?

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

100 for sure, 200 depends how much compression you want, maybe CR makes more sense.

[@dannertactical]

Would this suit be comfortable enough to be on for 3 hours for a high school meet?

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

Sure

[@TRULY_YSK]

If I’m a 25 tech suit in TYR would I be the same in this one, is it true to size?

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

I don’t know US sizes of Mizuno

[@TRULY_YSK]

@@TheSwimsuitGuy I just ordered the NV in a 26 as this suit is supposed to be extremely compressive more than TYR Venzo I’m a 25 so I went up one size

[@itzmario377]

Which Mizuno is best for the 200 fly?

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

CR

[@fiftyfreestylin]

I see Mizuno moved away from the M/L/XL sizing. Do I assume the 32 is equivalent to the old XL?

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

Only in the US. A L which I wear is a 26 in the US. 32 would be 3XL

[@fiftyfreestylin]

OK, so if I wear an XL now, then that would/should equate to a 28 in the new US sizing? @@TheSwimsuitGuy

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

yes@@fiftyfreestylin

[@matheusrheine]

hey! thanks for the awesome video and explanations! what size could be compared to the S with the new models? a 22?

[@liamsheedyy]

What size do you wear in the suit?

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

Large

[@lukeherbert3535]

1:43 They rip very easily right next to the draw string.

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

?! Since when?

[@lukeherbert3535]

@@TheSwimsuitGuy I’ve tried two now and it happened to both, just a small but noticeable tear next to the drawstring hole

yes this happened to me on my NV too!!!

[@lukeherbert3535]

@@TheSwimsuitGuy it wasn’t even tied😭 I’m sure it was just the wrong size

[@blake2084]

what would be the best suit to buy for 50/100 free without having to import from japan?

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

TYR Shockwave but why wouldn’t you import? It’s cheaper and expressing is as quick. The difference between Mizuno and others is huge.

[@blake2084]

Is mizuno better than aqua force

[@TheSwimsuitGuy]

For 50/100 events Mizuno is better than EVERYTHING

[@limewaseaten]

Best tech suit for 200 freestyle?

3 MR or 6 CR or TYR Shockwave I guess
