Is it just me or is the guy in the 4th pic wearing the women’s version of the helix?? Also appears to be a pro bib number…

I wouldn’t have noticed myself … but it looks like you’re right … different colors than the mens version and the little insignia on the left hip. Looks like you’re documented the first cross-dresser for a pro swim … his time was good, but not that good!
Good eye … pretty funny!

It may not be common, but it’s not all that uncommon. My first wetsuit was a women’s Zoot… I didn’t even know it until a year after I had been using it. It fit right, so the gender didn’t matter. When I upgraded to a full sleeved suit I mentioned to the shop owner that I was currently using a women’s Zoot. He told me they do that sometimes because it’s what just fits better. It’s not like a wetsuit is designed to provide more “support”… so all that is really different is some of the dimensions.
I got a Women’s Zoot Zenith brand new with tags for <$100 shipped. I looked at the size chart before ordering and I fit the dimensions so gave it a go. It fits great and is my fastest wetsuit I own!
Don’t know but if you wear a women’s wetsuit and ask “does it make my ass look fat?” you have to turn in your man-card.

Maybe I’m not being “PC” enough today, but I think you turned in your “mancard” when you first wore your womens wetsuit … just sayin’.
Anything else you guys want to tell us about???
