Has anyone heard if there is anything different about this LZR X, other than the design? Our team has to wear Speedo tech suits, and I favor the Arena Carbon Flex WC. Any chance Speedo made any change/improvements?
Looks cool man. Why are people bothered about the print? Everyone knows the suit delivers…
I think these suits look like they are from the mid-90s. The patterns look goofy to me.
I was thinking the same thing!!…well more early 2000s but dated nonetheless
Yes early 2000s is probably more accurate! I couldn’t quite place it.
I’d say more mickey than goofy. I should know, I designed it. 😉
