shoulders are extremely flexible, no chaffing yet, good flotation
Cons:
I can't find any yet
Let me clarify that I have the Full not the John. I only got to use it once at the end of the season last year. I got this suit at a good bargain from a local dealer. Its usually $399.00. Comparing times from my known open water swim without a suit to this one are incredibly faster. My usual time was 20 minutes across my local training lake and the first time out with this suit I swam the same route in under 15 minutes. This is my first wetsuit so there is not much for me to compare against but I was impressed by the shoulder flexibility as I have heard this is a big issue for wetsuits. It also kept me reasonbly warm especially after the first few minutes of getting in the water. The breakaway zipper is a very nice feature to keep the T1 time low. I would not hesistate to recommend this suit to anybody.
