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

@joseardzm2 жыл бұрын
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.

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!
