Blue seventy swim skin sizing
Quote | Reply
Anyone out there have experience with the blue seventy swim skin sizing? I have a few races this summer that wil not be wetsuit legal so looking to pick up a skin.

On their size chart I am in between sizes, or should say my measurements say I can fit in both a ML or a L. I’m 6’2 and about 195 now, but race weight will probably have me closer to 190. I’m leaning towards the ML but since I’m on the upper end of the size range on that just wondering how much these stretch. Really wish there was a place to try these on.

5'11.5" and 170-175 lbs. I have a MT helix wetsuit and a M PZ4TX+ swimskin. Both 2019, can't speak to the updated wetsuit.

I just put the swimskin on. I'm smack in the middle of M on the size chart, but it feels fairly stretchy. I think you'd be fine with the ML if you like a snug/compression race fit. If you want more of a loosey goosey comfort fit, maybe L.

If you've got some time to figure it out, their return/exchange policy seems to be top notch.

Hope that's somewhat helpful.

I am 6’ 0” and 168 lbs. I have their ML swim skin and it fits perfectly.

Ok, so that makes me lean towards a L for me. How much more stretch does yours have in it? I'm 2 inches taller and 25 pounds heavier, maybe 20 at race weight.

Very little. I would not not consider it to be very stretchy. It is snug but not binding.

Ok thanks. I think I'm gonna hold off on ordering then and see where my race weight ends up. If I can get down to 185 like I think, then I'll probably lean towards the ML, but give myself enough time for a return if need be.

Hi There
Because of your height I would go with the size L as these don't stretch as well as the wetsuits do. If you purchase from us you have 30 days to swim in it and exchange sizes at no charge or return it for a nominal shipping fee.
Please feel free to reach out to us during normal west coast at 206-632-1994 or using our online chat at http://www.blueseventy.com. You can also email cs@blueseventy.com

See if you can find a PointZero3 or PointZero3+ if they’re not IM branded races.
