Anyone use this suit? Ordered the Long course black suit from swim outlet today, I’ve never used any Huub products before. What’s the quality like from this company?
I have the white version, raced Oceanside in it and held up well. One thing I didn’t like is the rear pockets are virtually inaccessible. Make sure you are limber enough to use them!
I went with a Castelli San Remo…great rear pockets, hip holsters for gels, internal pockets if you need them and a little mesh area in the short tops you can easily whip it out when need be.

Second the rear pockets issue.
I also have a white one. While pockets situation isn’t much of an issue for me, the fact that the whole front turns practically transparent as soon as it gets wet or sweaty kind of bothers me. Apparently the black one doesn’t have these issues. Otherwise I love the product - no chaffing, great chamois, feels like a high quality product.

Like the fit and feel after trying it on, pockets are great. Haven’t worn it in a race yet, only reason I ordered another suit is because of the transparent front issue. I have the black suit and still the front is transparent when sipped up. Maybe if I went up another size this issue would be better but then the wrinkles in the arms and shoulders start happening.
