Cressi 2 mm Short Neoprene Wetsuit for Swimming, Snorkeling, Paddleboarding - Ergonomic Cuts, Front-Zip - Termico: Designed in Italy

This suit is all that one might expect of an Italian-made swimsuit: lovely to look at, tastefully designed to the contours of a woman's body, and fun - whether the water you'll be swimming in is a little bit cool or tropical. The front zipper makes changing in and out of it super-easy. I wear mine with neoprene or compression shorts to stay comfortable for an hour in the pool, and maintain the hip buoyancy I need to conserve kick effort. So far the suit has stood up well to 3-4x swims in a chlorine pool every week (for a couple of months). I just rinse and dry it afterwards. I like the suit so much I bought another one, in case they discontinue the style before I wear the first one out! DURABILITY: I don't doubt the construction of this suit because the stitching is extraordinary: double or reinforced stitching everywhere, rubber gussets, seals, and an exterior rubber-coat over the zipper and an interior neoprene fabric seal. *Not* your average Speedo single-stitch thread that dissolves in chlorine after a month.

There are many things I liked about this suit. This is my first wet suit so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. With the water getting colder with the season, this suit was great in keeping me warm. You can’t even feel the cool water touching your body except for a few spots seeping in around the zip area. It was very easy to get on and off, and molds to my body. Now comes the however—like a few reviewers mentioned, the problem is the bottom part. Top part is so snug it takes a bit to get used to but the bottom is extremely loose and rides up very high. As a result, it feels like it’s flappy in the water, keeps riding up to the point of not enough coverage and traps air/ water bubbles which made me feel extremely self conscious. After much consideration, I just don’t want to deal with that given the price paid so I’m returning it.

I've not had the opportunity to use it too much yet so can't comment on durability, but it definitely keeps my core warmer when swimming in cold water, and does not restrict my swimming action so perfect. It does make me a little bit more floaty though, but that's expected! Recommended for swimmers wanting a bit more warmth in colder waters! Hoping it will greatly extent my swimming season!

I love this suit!I will buy it again!!!!!!When we were in PV we were adopted by the crew of Cielito Lindo catamaran. This is the boat my husband and I got married on November 02,2014, Ever since my husband and I go there a couple times a year(when we can) so unside track... We go out on the boat a lot...one day in the mornings when it was cold... and I did not have a jacket with me because we were going to be on the boat for the full day....I was planning on just using this suit for swimming later that day... I put it on to keep warm... after that day.... for the next week and a half I put it on for both whale watching as well as diving later the same day,I love this suit and will buy it again!

Size up. At 5'8", 123, I bought a medium. It's too tight and short (I have a long torso).The bottom does gap, I think it must be difficult to get neoprene to mold to the body (there are gussets for the bust), so they cut it high. At my age, that's just too youthful. Going back, sadly.

Fit is not quite right. I wear a size 10 or 12 swimsuit. This suit doesn't cover my entire butt, and leaves the bottom of it exposed.. Not a good look for me. I might try wearing a bikini bottom under it, though that might look odd. Crotch is also too narrow. I'm surprised none of the reviews included such criticisms.

i use this suit for weekly water aerobics. I am 5ft 110 lbs, 34-27-35 apple figure and short waisted. The small size fits snug but it is not uncomfortable and I am very glad that I did not order the medium as it would have been huge on me. One reviewer commented on the seat of the suit rising up a bit on her backside and having to pull it down. I find this is true for me too but it is not that bad at all. One of the reasons it may rise up is because although the overall material of the suit is tight and snug like elastic (it is basically a wet suit after all) the leg openings are not reinforced with extra elastic as some regular bathing suits would be. All in all, this suit more than fits the bill! Addendum! After using this suit about 4 times now, I just noticed a small tear that is beggining half way up the side of the zipper....looks like I will only be able to wear it several more times )-: one reviewer mentioned that it was Italian-made and, well, the brand Cressi may be an Italian name but inside the suit in bold letters it says, "made in Cambodia" .

This bathing suit is super cute, and very high quality. Im 5'6 and 115lbs, and got a small. It fits true to size. It is cheeky, but you still don't really feel over-exposed because its a one piece. I have not gone in the water with it yet, but it seems like it will keep me warm. It seems like it will be perfect for water sports. If I go in the water, and its not good,,,,I will write an update!! So far, I would recommend!

I bought the XL size last winter. I'm a size 12/14 overall tho my bust is nearer a size 16.It's a decent fit, looks good, and feels great for winter outdoor swimming. The front zip is practical. I swim all year round and still found it warm enough, especially nice on my back when water only a few degrees. Paired with boots and gloves you still have enough bare flesh to feel the thrill!But it is way too short in the body and rides up. I wear a black bikini bottom underneath which make it decent but that is a disappointment. For its 2nd winter I may pair it with some neoprene swimming shorts for a bit more warmth ( and coverage!)I kept it as it was a reasonable price and I wanted a neoprene swimsuit rather than a wetsuit. Though I see this year Cressi now doing a cheap front zip shortie wetsuit if you want more neoprene for your money.

I've only just received it today, haven't tried it in the sea yet, but it seems to fit well, material seems very good. I'm size 12 with larger breasts, 167cm tall, I'm a bit squeeed in the chest area, but overall size 4 fits me well and I feel good in it, I think size 5 would be too long for me.I originally bought a size 12 shorty wetsuit from another brand, it was way too small, so I ordered a size 16, that fitted just about right at the front, but it had long sleeves which were way too long and baggy and there seemed to be too much room around my lower back, so I was worried too much water would get into the wetsuit. I'm so happy I looked again and found out about a neopren swim suit, I'm taking it snorkeling to the Red sea and looking forward to testing it out.Some people commented about crotch being too small and cut too high around the bottom area - the crotch seems fine for me, larger then my nickers anyway, cut doesn't seem too high, I mean it doesn't cover the whole of my whole bottom, but it certainly doesn't go as high as a thong would, seems like a regular swim suit cut in this area.I hope this helps anyone.

I should have believed other reviews regarding the high cut of this swimsuit. At the back it rides up horribly which might be ok for those used to wearing a thong but not for me. It's a shame as it was otherwise a great fit. Size S for a size 10/12 5ft 7 tall was a great tight fit. The price was good too. But sadly it has been returned and I bought the Cressi Idra instead which is twice the price but a much better fit - see separate review.

I've always wanted to be a Lamb's Navy Rum girl.At 67, I now feel I've moved a step closer.Good fit, easy to get on, comfortable to swim in and keeps me warm even swimming in the Irish Sea off Anglesey!

Love this! Great for using to have a dip outside in the winter or under a wetsuit for a longer swim. Nice thickness and really well made. Front zip is handy and doesn't come open when swimming. Felt like it showed quite a bit of bum cheek but with a swimming costume under it it's not a problem and actually have got used to it now. Can't recommend it enough. Sizing is accurate.
