Attn: Rocket Science 20 BPM racer suit users	Can't Post

I've been in contact with Marcin (Ceo) from RSS and he said that there were about 11 people that used the RSS 20 BPM suit at Kona, I'm about to purchase the suit, but I'd like to get some feedback on it.

One of the main questions:

-How was wearing the suit all day long for all three events?
-Any problems with the compression arm sleeves or calf sleeves sliding down on the bike or run
-Did you honestly feel cooler under the sun because of the material found in the suit?
-Did you feel any faster in the water wearing the suit versus just shorts or shorts and a tri top?
-How was the chamois during the ride--was it comfy?

Pro's/Con's you would like to add?

Thanks in advance
-K.R

I know right! I mean the suit looks amazing if its all its cracked up to be, but since I'm a budget athlete dropping 300 bucks on a tri suit is a big deal, so I'd like to see how it well it did in the Kona heat.

I did my first race in the 20BPM suit today. It was a duathlon and in a cooler climate so i can not comment on the cooling effect or the swimmming comfort.

i did not use the compression socks because i had no experience doing that from before but i had the arm compression on mostly because i think its comfortable in the aero bars. They are really tight and thin so they dont slide easily, compared to normal bike sleeves they are more fit.

Padding and material of the suite is great, you dont feel the padding disturbing during the run and comfy on the bike.

My previous 2 suits i been using have been Orca's and if i compare the 20bpm against those, i would definetey pick the 20pbm, based on comfort and feeling. Also, the looks of it its really nice :)

Pros: Comfort, looks, padding
Cons: Looks. I was afraid spilling gatorade on it because of the white color.

I will using this suite in Malaysia and Thailand end of nov beginning of december and can give more comments on the heat and swimming in it.

edit: My orca size is small and i used same size for the 20bpm with a good fit.

i bought one, tried it on and returned it since you can see through it in places i prefer to remain unseen. maybe i am just too modest.

No one else is looking at this add on the site saying to themselves - decrease heart rate by 20BPM???? I'd love to see the science that backs that claim up.
