Customer Review: good value
Rating: 5 Stars
comfortable, does what it is supposed to do, affordable, decent quality. I'm sure there are better / higher quality products out there but if you are an average rider, this is the right pair for you. Case in point - I am training for an Ironman and this is good enough for me.Customer Review: Very satisfied. Don't take chance and wash it in a washer!

I'm 5'5'' and weigh 145 pounds. My waistline measures exactly 32 inches. I ordered size 32 and it is a perfect fit.
The tag says 'hand wash' but I ignored. My washer made a tear to it after two weeks. My bad though.
Customer Review: oops! I must swim 20x TOO much!

So far in 13 months I have gone through 3 Speedos (2 lycra and 1 polyester -- the "endurance"). My expectation was that I could find a jammer that lasts me a year since my old-style bathing suits lasted 2-3 years. My expectation was obviously flawed based on these Speedo jammers and unusally high number of miles I swim. Thus, I'll let you decide if these pass the test:
Swimming Obsession: 6-7 days per week, 2 miles minimum per day, up to 8 miles per day in December competition. Thus, in understandable terms, typically 1 to 1.5 hours per day with December sessions between 3-5 hours. So, in 13 months, an estimated 575 hours, I went through 3 suits. Probably I should have retired the lycra suits earlier, but since they were staying together (stitching), a towel over the suit to hide the bare areas where the suit deteriorated extended them a bit. However, the stitching on the endurance turned white and then disappeared and separated. Yes, I religiously rinse my suit after each session in lot of cold water.
Pros: The polyester suit had fabulous material for practice swims. Unlike the lycra jammers which practically dissolved or lost shape in a matter of a months, the endurance polyester only stretched a little after about 4 months. If you are built "nomally", heed the ordering size comments in other reviews. I am a 34 waist, but the first 34 suit was extremely iuncomfortable on thighs and butt. The 2nd and 3rd suits were both 36's and fit comfortably.
Cons: Although the "endurance" main suit material was awesome, the seam stitching deterorated and finally parted! Thus, one must judge the endurance by the weakest link -- the seam stitching. Each lycra suit lasted about 4.5 months, whereas the endurance (marketed as lasting 20x longer!) lasted 4 months. However, based on hours, I the polyester endurance lasted more HOURS since my mileage per day was higher. Unfortunately though, you will NOT see a 20x longer life for the polyester endurance jammer unless Speedo fixes the weak threads stitching the seams! Another con some would consider, not me for I'm already too old to care "much", is that you will lose speed with the polyester vs. the lycra. Thus, make the polyester your practice suit if you are a competitive swimmer. Otherwise, the style is most fitting regardless.
Next Test: I have started breaking in my second Speedo Endurance, but have ordered a TYR polyester today from Amazon. Next review I'll compare both -- give me about 8-9 months please.
Customer Review: Holding up nicely

I'm a couple times a week swimmer and I bought these because the previous jammers I bought were dead within a couple months. These are still about as good as when I started using them several months ago. I will buy them again and I'll probably buy some for my son too. They're about $10 more but they last a lot longer than the cheaper lycra brands, so it's well worth it...and you won't have to worry about that embarrassing sheer spot that develops in the worst places when the lycra ones get worn out!
