T1 is great. Would take something special to get me to change over.

Fortitudine vincimus - "By endurance we conquer"
Slick mentions that the top temds to ride up, and that's the "something special" that caused me to switch to an Xterra last week.
HOWEVER: (1) I never experienced chafing as a result of the top riding up; I just didn't like that sensation.
(2) I am 6'3" with a very long torso, so maybe the riding up problems (which happened about every 6th or 7th swim) were due to my build.
(3) My T1 was also just falling apart. I sent it to DeSoto in the winter and they provided their usual outstanding service in several re-sewings and glueings, but the suit has just sen way too much use in 2 years.
(4) The DeSoto is a superb suit, but I just wanted to try something different for a while. I don't think I've seen the last of a De Soto wetsuit on my body.....
