Synergy Triathlon Wetsuit 3/2mm - Volution Sleeveless Long John Smoothskin Neoprene for Open Water Swimming Ironman & USAT Approved

Great fit, flexible, not too thick
5'2" - 35.5" - 29" - 35.5" - 118-120 lbs - SIZE P3As a petite woman i appreciate the wide range of sizes, and this does indeed fit like a second skin. I bought this to replace my Orca Sonar, a 5mm suit which I've had for maybe 8 years and just feels too constricting around the ribcage and too buoyant. If you have scoliosis (and even if you don't) you'll appreciate the ability to twist and rotate without undue effort. The Volution is easy to get on and off thanks to the stretch, tho I would have liked a key pocket somewhere. Minus 1 star for customer service - called and emailed via chat presale as I was debating whether to go with Volution or Endorphin and could not get anyone to respond . After 2 days I bit the bullet and went with the lighter weight suit, hoping it would be warm enough for Lake Michigan at 55F, which is when I typically get in for the season. Today it was 59-61 according to Surfline.com, 74 air and sunny. I was perfectly warm for an hour swim at this temp, in tandem with a neoprene cap. I think I could handle a little colder in this as well. I did get a little light abrasion on a part of my neck and an armhole where I had applied body glide but not too bad, the neck is pretty low and quite soft. I swam commando in this and recommend it, the interior liner is soft. I did get a little water in the suit in the hollow of my back but with more wearing I expect it will conform to my shape more. I like the buoyancy, it's more like the pool and I can actually get some traction with my feet. Highly recommend thus far. I just hope I don't have a customer service issue!

Fit like a glove and should
1) loosens a bit in water. 2) roll & scootch it on. 3) always pull with skin NOT finger nails 4) Ez to zip by 3rd use. 5) Tahoe water was 61 this morn and could have used the full suit with arms. 6) Not much water gets in, if it does you may need to size down. 7) 6’1.5” 172, smaller bones & some muscle…M2 felt too tight out of box , lats popped out a little - BUT now perfect after one swim. Mailed the m3 back. If you have a little more upstairs you will be tempted to size up, for me the lower legs were too loose on m3

Great wetsuit - near perfect fit (6'1 175lbs M2).
Very pleased with this suit. I am an ocean open-water swimmer and this is one of the best suits I've swam with. I was looking for something a little lighter and less bulky than my other swimming wetsuit. I am 6'1 (185cm) and about 175lbs (79 k) and the M2 fit me fine. I have a typical swimmer's build (broad back and shoulders). It was VERY tight in the chest when I first tried it on at home, and I was worried I had gotten the wrong size. However, once I was in the water it fit perfectly and did not feel too tight at all and seems to have loosened a bit. I've been swimming between 4 and 8 km sessions wearing this over the past two weeks - no chaffing, no restriction on movement, etc. Follow Synergy's sizing chart and you should be fine.It is on the thinner side so there is slightly less buoyancy compared to other wetsuits I've swam in, but I actually prefer this. The water temperature has been around 69 F (21 C) here and I've been more than comfortable. I have a feeling though that below 65 F (18 C) or so, I'll need to wear my thicker suit.

Fits perfectly
I am very happy with my wetsuit. Because pools have been closed due to Covid 19, I purchased this suit to swim in lakes. It fits me perfectly and is completely comfortable and warm in around 60 degree water. Because I was between sizes W2 and W3, I read a lot of reviews and decided on W3. I'm glad I did. I am 5'10", about 150 lbs, 36D. This wetsuit is easy to get on and does not bind or chafe anywhere. I'm ecstatic to be swimming again.

Fits snugly!
Arrived super fast! I've only tried it on so far, will update when I swim, but so far so good. I'm 6'1", 140ish pounds. I ordered womens W2 and it's perfect! I was worried about the hight being so far off but it's great. Its about capri-pant length on my legs. Neck hole is snug but not strangling. Only spot thats baggy is the chest. I'm pretty flat, so there's room to spare but not so much that I foresee it causing any drag or other issues. A great first time / beginner purchase! Doesn't even smell too funny coming out the box.

Good quality, be careful with Size
Product seems to have good quality, but size was not correct. I used the table (I'm 5'10 and 168) and ordered the M2, but was so snug I could not even close the ziper on the back. Returned and ordered the M3. Will update the review once received

Was worried it wouldn’t fit, but it’s great
So I’m 5’2” and 160, with very broad shoulders, and large bust and hip measurements, I bought a W3, and it fits! I plan on buying a suit with shorts next, I’m going to even size down for a shorter torso, that part is a little baggy, but it’s not a huge deal. I was really worried about it being too tight, because my height and weight are a lot larger than what the size chart said would fit, but I’m been lake swimming in it multiple times a week, and I’m very happy with it. I’ve heard horror stories about the lower priced wetsuits falling apart pretty fast, but this one isn’t showing any signs of wear yet.

Loved my Mermaid Suit :-p
Super easy to get out of, and provided all the buoyancy needed. I liked that my arms were free.
