So I've just got a new wetsuit - the first brand new one I've ever worn - a Foor Quantum2.
Two things I'm having an issue with.
It was really snug around my neck - somewhat uncomfortably so, but I was able to swim along just fine... except apparently my face turned purplish by the end of the set - or so I was told. Not good, though I felt ok.
It seemed to arch my back - as if it wasn't so stretchy through the back as the front, so well along into the set, my back was a bit sore and it felt like I was swimming along with my tummy out.
Now these just might be because I've never worn a wetsuit for as long as I did last night (1800m, plus some faffing about before hand)...
And other than those two issues, the suit fit quite well.
Any thoughts??? It's sort of a non-problem really, as I don't have any real reason to spend an hour and a half in a wetsuit - it was just new so I figured I'd try doing my entire workout with it on.
