Aqua Sphere Swim Skin Product Review Continued

I Tried out my new Swim Skin in Lake Quassapaug Middlebury, CT last night. The weather was sunny, very warm and very humid. The water temperature was between 65 and 70 degrees. I was fortunate to have a friend allow me to use his home and dock to swim from. As I slipped out of my clothes and into my new swim skin, he watched and commented that on his wetsuit, "the zipper is in the back." You can only image my embarassment. I have been swimming my entire life and I did not know how to put on a wet suit. I calmly took it off and put it on in the correct orientation.

The Swim Skin was very felxible and surprising comfortable with the exception of the neck area. The Velcro seal around my throat was a little tighter than I would like. This is even more evident after swimming for 10 mins and approaching ventilitory threshold.... I felt like I could not breath. As I swam, the suit felt very comfortable. I was not to hot or to cool. My body temp felt just right.

After the swim, the suit was very easy to peel off. I am looking forward to using the Aqua Sphere swim skin in my first USAT Sanctioned Triathalon tonight.
