just got a maverick elite yesterday and tested it out in an ocean swim this morning. old suit was a blueseventy reaction from 4 or 5 years ago...shoulder flexibility in the roka is SO much better. seems like a really nice suit.

anyway...two questions. first: i'm 5'11'', 143 lbs, and have a small/tall.

1. felt some water going down the back of my neck and also moving through the arms a little. never felt like the suit was filling up with water or anything, but...is this typical? if i streamline with both arms above my head, i can actually feel a gap between my upper back and the suit. i realize i don't swim like that in a tri, but i never really noticed that in my old suit. just wondering if it's a fit / putting on / sizing issue or just the way the suit fits/feels.

2. got a little chafing (nothing horrible) on back of neck and under arms / upper lats. now granted, i was a) not wearing body glide or anything because i was testing the suit, and b) lifting my head to sight more than usual because it was an ocean swim with rolling waves, but...again - just wondering if anyone else has experienced this or if it sounds like sizing is off.

i've emailed roka as well. i'm flying out to milwaukee for nationals on thursday and was hoping to take the maverick, but i want to make sure the fit is right first.

thanks!
