Realise Swimsuits - long-term review

^There's a Realise logo visible in the image, but I'm surprised it's transparent. Not sure which that would be.

I recently bought a rubberized Realise suit (T008) in 4L. I was worried that it would not fit, but I am very happy with it! I am 190 cm tall and about 90kg. I can confirm that there is some stretch in the material, but not a lot.

I notice Realise has a full body swimsuit that looks interesting: http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/acqueen/item/k-5001/

Sadly, the biggest it comes is 3L, but this should be stretchier.

Any thoughts?

Oh, yes, indeed, I see it now.

In this case, 3L should definitely fit me. Thanks! 😉

I love this full body swimsuit.

With my 180cm I can wear this one in 3L without problems...

Only white is currently available in 3L.

Just ordered black Realise N007 in 3L for my birthday 😉 Let's see if it arrives, if I have (and how much) to pay tax, if it fits, etc. Can't wait... 😋

3L? Is that like a large or xxx large?
Xxx large in china = medium in USA.
So for me, my size = xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxl,
Or 3L to the 3rd power.

Yes, according to the Japanese web-sites, 3L (or XXL, I think) should be like M. And according to the given measurements I should fit inside 😉

But I'm not sure, since the material is not stretchy, and you have to begin with something anyway 😉

Well, we'll find out when you get them.
I'm sure you'll tell us what you found out.

Sooooooo.... My first ever Realise suit has arrived when I was in the shower. My wife brought it in and unfolded. Woooohaaaa!!! It looks amazing!

It is indeed a bit stretchy and looks patent-PVC-like. To pull it on a still wet skin I had to put pantyhose on legs and arms. Then my wife helped me with zipping it up.

The first impression: when it's on it looks and feels fantastic, very tight, like liquid plastic. Everything underneath the swimsuit is clearly visible. I think the solution is bandless Platino Cleancut pantyhose.

But I'm afraid it's a bit too small. My next purchase will be 4L.

Oh, here's a question. How resistant is the swimsuit coating? Can I use ropes while wearing it?
