Customer Reviews Nike Core Solids Sport 2-Piece

I signed up for a beach volleyball tournament and quickly needed a suit that was going to hold me in all day. This suit was perfect. I'm usually hesitant to buy clothing items online, but saw the numerous, positive reviews for this suit and decided to give it (and Zappos) a try. I did notice however, most or all of the previous reviewers were 2-4" shorter than me and 10-20 lbs lighter. I'm 5'8", 140 lbs, and a 36C/34D. So I've got some curves and I would say I usually wear a 6 or an 8 in pants. I followed the advice and went up a few sizes, ordering both an 8 and a 10. In retrospect, I should have ordered a 10 and 12, but the 8 was too small and the 10 was pretty snug. I was hoping it would stretch some with some wear. I wore the 10 all day at the tournament and it was wonderful. It's medium rise in the back and the top stays exactly in place. No adjustments needed between each play.

If you are looking for a basic suit that really works for laps, this is it. Very comfortable. Sizing is way off though. I am a very typical size 4-6 in clothes. Athletic build 5'7'' 134 pounds and I needed a 10 in this suit. Very flattering across the behind even if you have a little extra there if you get it 2 sizes up. Runs small. Other than that inconvenience of having to return for correct size (which Zappos makes easily actually), I love it. Even ordered the blue. I love to do laps and do not like one pieces because of my long torso...this was the perfect suit. Gave it 4 stars just because I don't like being size 10 when I am size 6!

Got this to wear while 7 months pregnant (and beyond) for some easy lap swimming/pool jogging. I'm 5'4" and normally 120lbs, but I'm up to around 145 now. I think the suit will last me through the end of the last trimester. I bought a size 12. It fits well (my bra size is around a 36 D right now). The briefs are definitely more high waisted than in the photo, and I'm carrying low, but it hasn't been a problem, and the butt coverage is good. All in all, a good purchase.

Love the suit! It's very flattering and good for sports. I usually wear a Medium, size 8, and 36B bra. I got a 12 and it fit great, runs very small.

I am petite 5'2" 110 pounds and I needed a size 10 in this suit. It runs really small.

The suit runs small for sure! I'm 5'7'' weigh about 130, and I'm normally a size 4, the size 8 was a good fit. The bottoms have a little extra fabric in the front but the back is filled well. The top was almost too small and I'm at 34C. I really think it will stay in place wrestling my kids at the pool and watersports on the lake.

I am 5'4" 122 lbs and bought a size 6 and it is snug. Swimsuits tend to stretch so to me it's fine. Just the bottom gets a little saggy in the front. It is not a full coverage, it fits like it looks on the model. Strong material, seems durable.

The reviews are correct, order 2-3 sizes larger than usual. My usual size is 4, the 10 fit perfectly. This is a great suit. And love Zappos return policy so I could return the original suit I ordered.

Yep, it runs small. I'm a 6 in everything else and found the 10 was perfect. Love it so much I ordered another in another color. I love that it's sporty and no-nonsense but also totally cute.

Great suit. I bought it in 3 colors. Very comfortable and supportive. I wear it surfing under my wetsuit. No ties or knots. Great for sports because it stays in place. I'm usually a size 2 but the size 6 fits me in this suit.

As stated by previous reviewers order a couple sizes larger than what you would normally wear. Otherwise, this suit fits great and stays in place during my workout.

This is my favorite bathing suit of all time. It is comfortable and flattering. I have it in 3 colors.

Great suit. Runs a little small so if you're a 2, get a size 4, if you're a 4, get a 6, etc...

I took the advice of other reviewers and they are 100% correct -- go up 2 sizes on this suit! I wear a 6 in every piece of clothing I own and the 10 fit me great in this suit. It is a fabulous suit other than the sizing being so weird.

Great suit. I wear a 6 in the one piece for swimming laps and had to go up two sizes in the two piece. I don't wear this for a workout, but it fits great and doesn't fall down in the surf.

I love this suit! Everyone else is correct. I ordered a size 14 usually take a 10. The fabric is really heavy duty yet very supple.

Fits great, gets the job done. I would re-buy if I needed to make the decision again. I recommend it. I purchased it for my first tri and have transitioned from bay to bike to run it in. Works great.

Runs very small. I'm a size 6/8, bust 38D. I ordered a size 12 and it was still too small. Returning it but getting a size 16. Hopefully it works!

I bought this for a water aerobics class and is great mix of functional and flattering. Take the advice on the sizing from other comments shared and the suit runs small, so bump up your normal size by at least one or two. Can't wait to hit the pool!

My computer was slow when ordering this bikini, so I didn't see that everybody was saying order a size or two up. Well, it was indeed way too small. I compared the Nike size 6 bottom to a Patagonia XS bottom that fits me perfectly, and the Nike bottom was smaller by an inch on each side! I've now ordered a size 10. Haven't gotten it yet, but hope it works. I love this suit! Wish Nike would get with it on their sizing, though.

Runs very small, trust the reviews! I am 5'4" approx 118-120 pounds. The 6 was too small for me. I usually wear a 2/xs. Go up at least 2 sizes, if not 3. Once you get the right fit, this is a great suit. It doesn't ride up or move around while you swim. Highly recommended but order 2 sizes and return one.

This suit is great for water aerobics classes or camping. It fits really well and stays in place with strenuous movement. It, however, does run very small. I am generally a size 8. I had to return it and ordered a 12.

I needed a swimsuit so that I could start swimming while taking a break from running due to a stress fracture. Zappos customer service pulled up a Nike size chart for me & I ordered accordingly. The top was definitely too small & I wasn't entirely comfortable with the bottoms. Went up to the next size & it fits perfectly. I've only swum in it once. I did laps & such and had no problems. Swimsuit stayed put & worked out wonderfully. Highly recommended but definitely go at least one size up when ordering.

Finally a swimsuit that fits a sports body is affordable and classy looking.

I love this bathing suit. I wear a size six in pants and dresses, size 36C bra, and I bought a size 12 in this suit. It is extremely flattering and comfortable. The older models of this suit had higher-cut bottoms which were not flattering. The bottom of this bathing suit, however, is more low cut.
