geeze... I am scratching my head here.... Just like any sport, you have two types of gear - these are not designed for lap swimming - they have front draw string. They look great. You go to a resort to relax and have fun so why not wear a suit that reflects that right? You are on vacation and wearing - skip the workout or ( and yoga clothes)... come on.. You don't (or maybe it's just that I wouldn't) wear they TYR Axis or Speedo Switch on vacation! It's these type of suits that are perfect for a vacation.... lol... Personally, I really try to leave the training behind for the short time I am away :) ... no gym cloths are for me which includes my gym swim suits....

Ok, so I just bought 2. Received them in 2 days.

I would agree, that they are resort wear.
wow that bronze suit looks good! awesome choice!


@BJE too bad it doesn't fit you cause this kinda looks like the print you can rock! (I've seen you in your scepter suit and idk but the print kinda looks similar to me). it's like any other suit I guess some fits you nicely some don't and I agree it's not for lap swimming although I would still swim lap in them :p

The fabric of the Mertailor suit is not nearly as stretchy as the fabric of the Speedo, Sporti or TYR. They tend to be really tight but stretch to fit.
Hmmm. Maybe it was the particular suit that I chose. Felt stretchy to me.

It feels a lot more like a Turbo. The cloth is stretchy but not so much as a Sporti or TYR. These suits are cut quite small and stretch to fit. The Mertailor is cut much larger without as much stretch and not a tight fit. I’ll take photos of the suits for comparison.

If I order one again, I'll probably get the extra small.
