More buoyant than my Zoot Kona sleeveless with Yamamoto neoprene, but more restrictive in chest/legs. About the same speed per 100 as Zoot, but feel would be faster if slightly less restrictive, so may have been better with XL.
Have done triathlons in Wisconsin for greater than 20 years,.
My triathlon/master’s swim buddies and I do open water swimming everyday here in Wisconsin from mid-May to mid-October, so the group has tried/worn out a lot of wetsuits
Hopefully will find the above helpful, let me know if have any thoughts/suggestions-thanks for your interest in my input.
