TYR Diamondback Solid Female

Quality suit. Gives good coverage, made of thick fabric, and straps stay in place and didn’t rub after 1,000M.

*** Update: 5 years later I still buy this suit when it's time to replace. Still very happy with it! *** I've been a fitness swimmer (3-5 times a week) for 20 years and gone through many swimsuits over the years, all brands. They tend to last an average of 6 months, some a little longer, some just barely. Fit is what I am most concerned about, I've been through any variation here - some are too tight, but still usable; some fit but get loose very quickly; almost all ride up a bit in the back, have too high of a leg cut, or are prone to side spills on top. I kinda know what worked for me and try to hunt down the same suits (Arena, Tyr - Maxbacks); this time I came up empty. I was never fond of the thinner straps of the Diamondback as far as looks go, and questioned their ability to hold up over time, but I see just about everyone else wearing these at my pool, and based on the good reviews this suit has been getting, I ordered one, and it is fantastic: 1. It fits true to size, snug, but not to the point where it's super difficult to put on. I ordered size 36, I am 5'8", 130 lbs, 36A. 2. I actually love the thinner straps - they feel really secure, and look a bit more feminine than the Maxback. 3. Flattering fit. It's still a functional workout suit (not to be confused with a cute poolside outfit), but it has a nice fit (I had to return the Tyr Durafast Maxback which compressed me into a square - very unflattering) 4. It is lined throughout. I rarely, if ever, had a suit that was also lined on the backside, which is usually what thins out first and the main reason I have to replace the suit. Finding it fully lined was a pleasant surprise. The liner is black for the black suit - not tan. I only had it one week, so I cannot attest to its durability, but it being Tyr, I don't expect anything less than 6 months. I will definitely replace it with the same one when the time comes. I hope they keep making it!

I bought this swimsuit at 3 months pregnant in hopes that it would stretch out with use so I could keep wearing it as my belly grew. It hasn’t stretched out, so I’m sort of disappointed, but I’m also impressed. I swim 4x a week in a heavily chlorinated YMCA pool and don’t always remember to take my suit out of my bag to dry, and in about 3 months it hasn’t deteriorated noticeably at all. It is lined front and back and is modestly cut in the bust, which I appreciate. I deducted 1 star because the trim part under the arm (around the ribcage) rubbed quite a bit at first and left a red mark, and because the lining in the bust isn’t thick enough to hide nipples in the cold, which is annoying but fine in the water. I’m 5’11”, 180, and was 3 months pregnant when I bought a size 40. I normally wear a 34 or 36 depending on brand. This may run a little small or I may just be pregnant.

Nice fabric

Great fit and LOVE this bright blue color. It fits as expected - not too tight or hard to get on, hugs all the right places, holds everything together, and gives a nice smooth, supportive appearance. I ordered a 38 - 5'6, 34B/C and 142 lbs. I am super happy to have this for my aqua fitness classes. Just need to find another color/pattern or two.

I bought this because of the gorgeous burgundy color. I am 5'3", 108 pounds, 32A and the size 32 fits perfectly. The suit feels great and is lined in black, front and back. I have been wearing a black Speedo lap suit in the Endurance polyester fabric. That suit has indeed stood up extremely well (the pool I swim laps in four or five times a week has a fairly low level of chlorine and I am careful to wash out the suit after every swim). But the Speedo suit is a little difficult to put on as there is not that much stretch. It feels OK especially when wet but is not as comfy as nylon. And I am noticing that the tush area is getting pretty pilled just from briefly hoisting myself out of the pool. I have not sat around in the suit at all. So while the Endurance fabric does stand up to the water like nothing I have ever seen before, the suit might still not have that much longer a life. Given this experience I decided to allow myself to have this nylon/lycra suit. The TYR suit is so much easier to get on. The styling is fine. The legs are a little bit lower cut than the Speedo. I will take good care of it, as I have done with the Speedo and just enjoy it.

This has always been my go to swimsuit for training. TYR makes excellent quality swimsuits. I decided to stick with a proven performer and I have no regrets! Similar brands that I have found reliable in quality are Speedo, Arena, and Nike. Additionally, the suit had a retail price ~$20 higher than what the prices is listed here, so this was an excellent deal! Sizing for swim suits can be tricky, so hopefully the following helps: Height: 5'9" Weight: 135lb measurements: 33" chest, 28" waist, 38" hips Size ordered: Size 34 fits perfectly Pros: +Excellent fit, comfortable fabric +Flattering, athletic cut. Coverage in the chest and butt keeps everything comfortable and secure during lap swim and diving +Cut of the straps allows for free range of movement for your arms and shoulders; no rubbing or discomfort +Material is as expected, should last 6 months to a year depending on how often I swim. In my experience, no suit lasts much longer than that due to regular wear/tear and stretching. Cons: -No cons yet, but I'll update after a few months on how well the suit holds up

This is the second one I ordered. The first ripped with two uses. I returned it and got a replacement. This one I have had less than two months, about 40 uses in chlorine pool and it is completely faded. I bought this brand thinking this would not happen so quickly

I have purchased this style/brand before and it's great for just doing laps in the pool (I swim 5 days a week). My previous one started to discolour after about a year even though I washed it after every swim. This suit is good, but I have a long torso so I have to size up (and sometime it is 2 times up) because the length is 80% of the time much shorter than what the size chart indicates. No matter what the description says all tank suits will discolour and loose the elasticity in the materials. I find it surprising that the liner does not which I find odd. My order came as promised and not damaged in shipping. Also the price is great as I have found other retailers charge a lot more!

Exactly what I needed. Lots of give I wasn’t expecting! Comfortable as far as suits go. I’m 5’7 curvy and 170lbs for size reference.

Excellent fit. Good qualify product. I will highly recommend TYR!!

El traje de baño y la calidad son correctos la talla viene un poco más pequeña considera pedir una talla más grande. Lo. Volvería a comprar.
