This will be my 1st swimskin and I have no idea what to buy.
Which one I can use in race that is non wetsuit legal (USAT and WTC) ?
Any difference between the top of the line from HUUB, TYR, ROKA, BlueSeventy ?
Recommendations ?
Tks
Just bought a Blueseventy PZ4 suit for IM Switzerland, I had to return it and go a size up, they come up very small. Not yet used it so can’t confirm if its worth it !
Kiwami. Then race in the same suit all day and save yourself $400.

I’ve been happy with all B70, I think the stuff is fast. I am wearing my 3000Tx tri suit at the moment, to stretch it out. You have to wear the B70 stuff in, & takes a bit too and after that it’s money.
Got the roka viper comp, fit me pretty snug around the armpits and a bit lose around the legs, but have not swam in it yet. Am at the edge of the sizing chart, got an xl whcih goes to 6’7 and im 6’8. Cant comment in speed diff.
I’m in the same position as OP. Is there anything out there that qualifies the time savings for individual swim skins? I assume there’s a lot of marketing hype, much as there is for bikes, but there’s at least generally objective wind tunnel data available there.

Monty did some testing on swim skins a little while back:
My feeling is that if you combine swimskin speed plus aero testing the Kiwami Spider is a no-brainer! Very close to the expensive swim skins, no changing; just go, and has tested quite well in a few tunnel and aero tests. Big picture speed=Spider.
