Would this be a good suit for a first timer?

I have used this suit for my first 4 triathlons (spanning 3 years), and for training for them (in open water). I've used it in the summer in lakes in inland Michigan and Illinois, in Lake Michigan, and in the ocean in northern California. I find I'd want sleeves for water colder than 60 deg. F, and may buy another suit. It has held up very well (no issues with suit, zippers, etc.).

Are you kidding me? This is the best suit.. great price.. quick shipping.. after almost a month the collar started to get weird.. I wrote the company and they just shipped another one.. they didn't want me to review them bad.. I'm convinced..they rock.. so then I had 2 suits.. i shipped the other back and even before they received it I had my cash return.. awesome experience.. I've had mine well over a year and its still great.. ocean.. pool.. freshwater.. still great

From my perspective...yes, I have worn many different wet suits in the past but I've never worn one for a tri. I love it. I like to have the freedom of arm movement and it's really rather boyant. I'm 5'8" at 160 lbs and I am an intermediate swimmer. It helped tremendously with my confidence during the open water swim. Hope that this helps.

I wore it in the ocean. It's a nice suit. Snorkle three times last week in it. Good bang for your buck.

At 20F i would wear a underskirt, t-shirt and a thin fleece under the jacket. But then you are well prepared for a longer stay. If its stormy you need a gore-tex jacket over it.

I have not yet used this suit. I did inspect it upon my receipt of it and the material feels plastic-y and resilient. Any Tyvek suit is going to be challenged by exposure to soil, rocks, snags, etc. Be careful with it and you should be fine.

Go on Speedo's website and match your measurements on the size chart. You can "size down" one size and usually be safe. The suit should take at least 15 minutes to get on (needs to be TIGHT).

Here are my thoughts. I'm a 32" waist and a 42" chest. I only weigh about 158-160 lbs. However, I'm 5'10". The legs definitely aren't an issue on the suit since it comes only below the knee (not a full leg suit). I think the medium is right for your waist and shoulders also. Are you (forgive me for putting it this way) "only 5'5" because of a shorter torso or shorter legs? If you simply have short legs, then the medium would probably still be perfect. However, if your legs are longer and your torso is shorter, it might be only a slight issue. All that said, given your chest and waist, the small would still probably be constricting. I'd say to contact the seller in advance and tell them your concerns. That's exactly what I did and they were tremendously helpful (and right) about the sizing.

I have an XL suit and it fits over my mesh MC jacket and jeans with room to spare I'm 6' 200. I'd say the sizing is accurate

The suit is good for working outside in the rain, I do not ride motorcycles, so can't directly answer.

This is a good suit. You'll like it. Sizes tend to run small. Very flexible and would be good for swimming or tri

I'm 5'9 and 154lbs the medium is perfect, meaning if I was a bit taller or heavier it would be too tight..I think you should go for a bigger size, just take in mind that the suit should be tight, otherwise you'll get cold washes more often.

Yes. I have worn mine a few times...very flexible...I would suggest using a good leather conditioner on it before wearing the first time

Well they say that if you find yourself in a environment where the Ebola virus is present wearing a suit that covers your entire body . I'd say this is a pretty good suit for the price . Just make sure you have something that will cover your forehead area like a piece of cloth or something . In a nutshell yea this is a good suit to use for Ebola just make sure you don't rip the suit but that goes without saying .

what is the actually size of this suit? it would be for a 194 lb person with waist line of approx. 46" and chest of 43"..would it fit comfortable enough to do exercising?

I feel like it would be flexible enough to surf in...I didn't feel particularly restricted while swimming or snorkeling. I also wore the suit all day on the boat and didn't have any problems. It was a great buy!

Yes you should be fine. I'm 5"4 and about 135 lbs and mine is a small and it fits just fine I love this suit. I'm a swim instructor so I use it everyday.

Hello. I would attempt to get the dimensions of the thigh, waist and chest of the individual suit and compare to your actual measurements. BTW this product works. :)
