TYRWomen's Tyreco Solid Diamondback Swimsuit

*** Update: 5 years later I still buy this suit when it's time to replace. Still very happy with it! ***I've been a fitness swimmer (3-5 times a week) for 20 years and gone through many swimsuits over the years, all brands. They tend to last an average of 6 months, some a little longer, some just barely. Fit is what I am most concerned about, I've been through any variation here - some are too tight, but still usable; some fit but get loose very quickly; almost all ride up a bit in the back, have too high of a leg cut, or are prone to side spills on top. I kinda know what worked for me and try to hunt down the same suits (Arena, Tyr - Maxbacks); this time I came up empty. I was never fond of the thinner straps of the Diamondback as far as looks go, and questioned their ability to hold up over time, but I see just about everyone else wearing these at my pool, and based on the good reviews this suit has been getting, I ordered one, and it is fantastic:1. It fits true to size, snug, but not to the point where it's super difficult to put on. I ordered size 36, I am 5'8", 130 lbs, 36A.2. I actually love the thinner straps - they feel really secure, and look a bit more feminine than the Maxback.3. Flattering fit. It's still a functional workout suit (not to be confused with a cute poolside outfit), but it has a nice fit (I had to return the Tyr Durafast Maxback which compressed me into a square - very unflattering)4. It is lined throughout. I rarely, if ever, had a suit that was also lined on the backside, which is usually what thins out first and the main reason I have to replace the suit. Finding it fully lined was a pleasant surprise. The liner is black for the black suit - not tan.I only had it one week, so I cannot attest to its durability, but it being Tyr, I don't expect anything less than 6 months. I will definitely replace it with the same one when the time comes. I hope they keep making it!

Very good, it is longer compared to Speedo, so if you have a longer torso you should try tyr. Had it for a few months seems to hold up quite nicely. I practice about twice a week and once on the body it fits snugly.

Ran really small … even knowing most athletic swim suits run small. Definitely size up. Nice quality though!

It’s been half a lifetime since my years of competitive swimming. I struggled to find a suit that fit my adult body until I found this one. For reference I am now 5’4”, a D cup, a size 12, 170 LB, and wear a size 38 suit. It has great stretch, is comfortable, doesn’t pinch on the hips or shoulders, and has plenty of room for my chest and butt. This suit understands that my body has changed but my desire to swim hasn’t. While it’s extremely accommodating, I can flexibly move in it and the suit moves with me. I wear it every day and it holds up. I practice 4-5 days a week, and I find myself replacing it once a year as the color fades and the material sags (like any typical suit), but it has never once gone see through on me. I’ve tried other suits but I always come back to this one. It’s simply the best.

This has always been my go to swimsuit for training. TYR makes excellent quality swimsuits. I decided to stick with a proven performer and I have no regrets! Similar brands that I have found reliable in quality are Speedo, Arena, and Nike. Additionally, the suit had a retail price ~$20 higher than what the prices is listed here, so this was an excellent deal!Sizing for swim suits can be tricky, so hopefully the following helps:Height: 5'9"Weight: 135lbmeasurements: 33" chest, 28" waist, 38" hipsSize ordered: Size 34 fits perfectlyPros:+Excellent fit, comfortable fabric+Flattering, athletic cut. Coverage in the chest and butt keeps everything comfortable and secure during lap swim and diving+Cut of the straps allows for free range of movement for your arms and shoulders; no rubbing or discomfort+Material is as expected, should last 6 months to a year depending on how often I swim. In my experience, no suit lasts much longer than that due to regular wear/tear and stretching.Cons:-No cons yet, but I'll update after a few months on how well the suit holds up

the fit is super good. i bought this for swim class so i didnt want it to be too revealing or tight in certain areas but its fits well and is good for things like that.

I received this item yesterday and it didn’t last one full day in the water before becoming horribly faded. Quite embarrassed to exit the pool in front of 3 high school teams sporting this. I have this same suit in a teal color and it has held up much better.

Good for swim training

Lo compré para regalar asi que puede que cambie la reseña pero llegó rápido, aunque si tardaron un poco en enviarlo. Se ve de buena calidad aunque si dudo un poquito con la talla

I have purchased this style/brand before and it's great for just doing laps in the pool (I swim 5 days a week). My previous one started to discolour after about a year even though I washed it after every swim. This suit is good, but I have a long torso so I have to size up (and sometime it is 2 times up) because the length is 80% of the time much shorter than what the size chart indicates. No matter what the description says all tank suits will discolour and loose the elasticity in the materials. I find it surprising that the liner does not which I find odd. My order came as promised and not damaged in shipping. Also the price is great as I have found other retailers charge a lot more!

Exactly what I needed. Lots of give I wasn’t expecting! Comfortable as far as suits go. I’m 5’7 curvy and 170lbs for size reference.

Nice stretchy light fabric - not too stiff and heavy like some of the chlorine resistant fabrics. Flattering fit.

Fits well and really comfortable
