Terrific product
As a committed DeSoto customer since the early 2000's, and owning a De Soto full (two piece) wetsuit, that I've used in numerous West Coast races, I knew what to expect in terms of quality materials and workmanship of the Speedvest. But even my high expectations were exceeded. The vest fit was perfect, mirroring the same size as my DeSoto wetsuit top. It is feather light yet keeps my core toasty. And pairing the vest with my 'lava pants' (a jammer length neoprene bottom layer) I can swim level and comfortably in the winter 69-70 degree unheated pool here in the upper altitude of Hawaii Island where my full suit is just a bit too much warmth. Prepping for spring/summer tri and swims season, including Escape from Alcatraz, I am really glad I got this vest and can continue my workouts even as the pool's solar water heater is on the fritz.
