Okay, so I just moved into a new house with a new pool and was looking for something sporty I could wear while doing a few pool workout routines. I typically hate 1 piece suits as they are such a struggle to get into and out of while wet. This one appealed to me because of the zipper and I thought the stripes on the side wouuld be thinning. Overall I like the suit, but the torso isn't very long. I have a slightly longer than average torso, but nothing too extreme. I love the overall look of the suit, but it is a tad bit too short. Also the zipper won't stay up very well and its hard to keep it "locked" into place at the top. maybe that has to do with the fact that the top of the suit dips down pretty low due to the torso part of it being pretty short. If you have a short torso, this suit would work really well for you I think. Either way, the value was good and I will continue to wear it for my workouts.
