I love it. Deeply. It is fun, unique, utterly stylish and very flattering. I didn’t find previous reviews helpful beyond what’s obvious - that the suit is divine. So here’s a more practical take.
The sizing wasn’t as I expected. I’m a 12 - bust 35”, waist 29”, hips 39” at the widest butt-hitting-leg part. I took a large after trying the medium which was too short in the body and across the shoulders (my shoulder are wide). Even in a large, the arms are too short - I can’t use the arm/hand cuffs although haven’t missed them. I don’t have long arms and never struggle with this in other clothes. The suit doesn’t cling to my back - there’s a fair bit of space but I don’t mind that. I think it looks ace!
MSS, please look at your sizing and consider adding more sizes to the range. Everyone should have opportunity to wear this suit!!
It doesn’t have vents - I didn’t miss them despite some crazy hot weather and hard runs. I just undid the zip a little and changed my base layers each day to figure out what worked. Vents in future versions might be an idea but, for me, they’re not make or break functionality for the suit.
It needs more pockets so get the bum bag. I have a visor on my helmet so like to have my sunnies with me for lunch. Plus sunscreen. And tissues. The pockets don’t quite hold enough so I’ll be buying the bum bag. And holy cr*p I can’t wait to try it out next year! Such a fab addition to the suit.
Overall verdict: buy it! And size up.
