Getting back to the original subject: The tightness of the suit keeps it fairly safe, I don't wear it often. But I checked the seams: no traces of deterioration. Also the surface hasn't changed a bit, this suit still looks brand new. I consider wearing it on a bike tour when it is a little warmer, bike pants underneath. We are going to have a triathlon here in a few months, and people are getting used to seeing bikers in weird dresses now, so I have a good excuse 😁
Ok, a short tour first, I have to check if my crotch can survive this suit on a bike...

Underneath? Mmm... I would wear pantyhose underneath and short bike pants on top.

How was the test?

Sorry, didn't do it, I could not find a keyring for closing the back zipper. But, I put it on later, and I think, there is no trouble in the crotch area.
PS. I have seen prices like 400 $ for the suit with full back side. Of course, there is no evidence, that anyone ever paid that much...

Normal prices, sells to Europe, no trouble with my order.
Some models available in size 4XL, even shown, when sold out, so I suppose, they will have them again sooner or later.
4XL is my size, fits perfectly!

In this case could you please list your current "parameters"? 😉

Parameters:
Crotch over left shoulder (near neck) back to crotch: 173 cm
Largest hip circumference: 97 cm
Waist right underneath rib cage: 83 cm
Chest at armpits: 89 cm
PS: I had ordered another one, free back but full rear, small leg-openings. The seller was quick and reliable again.
I really hope, they will eventually offer the long-sleeve swimsuit in 4XL.

There are two Realise swimsuits on eBay right now (auctions): one in blue another one in silver.

They might be too small for some, however I managed to squeeze into German size 34 (Speedo Hydrasuit), while my normal Hydrasuit size is around 42-44. OTOH, I take it that Realise swimsuits are not that elastic?
