Let me start by saying this swimsuit is a game-changer for serious swimmers. The MaxLife Eco fabric truly lives up to its promise - after three months of daily chlorine exposure, mine still looks and feels brand new. That chlorine resistance is no joke!
The Tech Back design gives incredible freedom of movement. During butterfly strokes, I don't feel any restriction in my shoulders, and the thin straps stay perfectly in place without digging in. The high-cut legs took some getting used to though - they show more thigh than my old suits.
Fit is definitely athletic. As someone with broader shoulders from years of swimming, I appreciate how the open back accommodates my build. However, if you're between sizes or have a shorter torso, you might struggle with the fit like some reviewers mentioned.
The UPF 50+ protection gives me peace of mind during outdoor training sessions. And can we talk about how quickly this suit dries? I can go from pool to coffee run without that awkward wet swimsuit feeling.
Two minor drawbacks: The sizing runs small (I sized up and it was perfect), and the coverage is definitely sporty rather than modest. But for performance? 10/10 would recommend to any serious swimmer.
