Customer Reviews TYR Durafast™ Elite Solid Workout Bikini

It is a great swimsuit, but it runs very small in sizing. I normally wear size 8 or Medium in clothes and after reading other reviews, ordered size Large and it is still too tight. I will keep it, but I don't know that I will be able to use it for swimming laps.

I love this suit! My review differs from the others: I absolutely love the top of the suit. However, I was so focused on the top during my order that I didn't realize how small the bottoms are. They are tiny! I love the suit enough that I'll keep it and just workout more...or buy shorts. Ha!

I love this suit. I bought one last year and it is just getting a little loose at this point. I wear it, rinse in cool water and hang it to dry. I always wear TYR suits. This one has really held up and it fits great. It fits true to size.

I have been wearing this style workout bikini for years and love it. I always get compliments on the style. However, this suit seems to run a bit large. I ordered two of these black ones and they both fit the same - just slightly big but enough that after wearing it only a couple of times I'm feeling drag from the top. I'll be returning the extra one. What's odd is that I ordered the same suit in royal/lime (same exact size) and it fits like a glove. Beyond this weird sizing thing, the comfort and durability of TYR's durafast stretch is unmatched. I won't wear anything else.

Many people said that the bathing suit ran small and to order a size up. However I am normally a small in bathing suits and actually ordered an extra small in this. I'm 5'1" 110lbs with a 34B bust and the extra small fit me perfectly. I work on a boat and bought this suit so I wouldn't have to worry about constantly adjusting myself while moving around and climbing on and off the boat. Incredibly happy with my buy.

Cute competitive suit, unfortunate that one cannot purchase tops and bottoms separately. I ordered off my largest area using the TYR size chart. For reference I am 32C-28-38 and ordered the medium. The bottoms were snug and, since I'm no longer in perfect shape, a slight muffin top. It was not enough to discourage wearing to chase my toddler around because I knew it would stay put. The top was a bit tight also, but not tight enough in the band where I felt it would not ride up. Slightly sad I have to return because it had real potential to be my mom suit without looking/feeling frumpy.

I love this two piece swim suit. It is sporty and also very stylish. I am normally between a size 0 and 2 and wear XS or S. I weigh 108 pounds and am 5'4'' tall. I ordered an XS, and it was a little tight, so I exchanged it to S. It fits much better. I love that Zappos does free returns. I would definitely recommend this. I also own a one piece and another two piece TYR swimsuit. It is a great quality and product.

Very cute but runs very small. If you wear a size 6 or 8, order a Large, yes, large. I often wear a small and the medium was quite tight. Very cute though, sexy even, very flattering. Flatters the bust a lot, does not make me look flat as others write - my bust looks very hot - especially for an athletic suit. My bust is not large or small. A large bust I'm sure would not fit in this.

This swimsuit is definitely a no-nonsense workout bikini, but it looks really cute too! I'm usually a smaller size on top than on the bottom so I was hesitant to order a combined suit, but the top is actually very tight, so if you have bigger boobs, the suit might get a little saggy in the butt. That being said, it's definitely got great support up there!

I am 140 lbs 5'8 34B and tried both the medium and the large. The top was very compressing for beach volleyball or other sports and comfortable, apart from the straps that were digging into my back and shoulders. Maybe it just doesn't work with my body type. Going to return. Too bad because it is really cute.

After buying at least 3 other athletic swimsuits, I finally decided on this one. I wanted something to wear taking my 2 year old to swim lessons, that would stay put and I'd feel comfortable in. Like other athletic suits, this runs very small. I am 5'10", 145lbs. I normally wear a md. or size 6. I had to get this in a large and even then, the top fits tight. The bottoms fit good.

The reviews are very helpful for this product and I learned the hard way. Although the reviews stated that this suit runs small I did not want to believe it but alas it does. I am 5'4" 125#, 34B. I ordered a small and the bottoms were fine but the top was way too tight. I returned it and got a medium, bottoms still fit, the straps are a little tight but I am sure will stretch. Cute suit overall but not built for an athletic upper body.

Not a bad suit. I ordered 9 suits over several weeks and finally settled on this suit in black and in grey/pink. I am 5'4", 117 lbs, 32B, 37" hips and the large fits pretty well. The bottoms are comfortable and not too tight and the top fits well, though it could be a bit tighter. Ideally if I could order the bottoms in a large and and the top in a medium I'd be set. I am pretty flat chested and the strap in the back does gap a little bit so I'm a little concerned that if I lift my arms in a hurry it may going flying up, but we'll see. I may try to have that strap 'trimmed'. I am not a competitive athlete. I was just looking for a good, basic suit that would allow me to keep up with my toddler and swim some laps.

I quite like this bikini, but it came up bigger than I had thought, so if in doubt, choose a smaller size. Also, given the choice, I'd have the bottoms match the top; they don't.

This is a fabulous suit, but I am 6 feet tall, built like a swimmer, usually wear 10-12 pants and larger tops for my shoulders and long arms. The XL didn't come close to fitting. I was too squished to breathe, much less to swim!

Still too small! I'm 5 feet tall and 105 lbs. I could shop in the same department as my 12 year old daughter if I wanted to. My measurements match the xs size on the size chart to a "T". I received the xs and it was way too tight. I returned it and then ordered a small. A little better, but still tight. I am now attempting a medium, which is very strange for me. I really like the sportiness of the suit. The top is flattening, but perfect for water sports. I am also glad Zappos ships and return ships free of charge.

I bought this for tubing because I didn't want to ruin by workout bathing suits (I wear one pieces to work out) and it does the trick. If you are wearing it to be sexy, you probably won't like the sports bra flattening of your chest. If you are wearing it for utility it is perfect. As any female who has ever tubed in a traditional bikini can tell you, it is dangerous to fly off the tube in anything other than a 1 piece or a sports bra and shorts. This is perfect, stays on, the bottoms even have a drawstring if you need it, and the top does not move around on you which makes taking off your life-jacket far easier. It runs small and even then (I am a size 0) the bottoms fit but the top is probably a bit too tight, I am spilling out of a small on the top. I probably could have used a medium top and small bottoms, unfortunately they do not sell them separately.

I was looking for a practical suit to wear for surfing, paddle boarding, etc. I ordered a couple of different ones, but none of them fit quite right. This one is true to size, but I am small chested...I can see it being a bit tight on top for some. The straps are even a little tight on me. All in all, I think it will do the trick for me...it's not very sexy, but perfect for being active in the water.

It looks great, but it is not true to size at all. I wear size 8 and I ordered medium (supposed to be size 10) and it is too small. I don't mind that it flattens me but the stripes around are killing me. Maybe XL would fit.

Very tight fit, as tight on the bottom as on the top. TYR suits do, however, at least cover your bottom well!! Not sure if I love it or not. Certainly fits differently than the same size (M) in other Tyr suits...I'm 5'9, 128lbs.

Oof! I had high hopes for this suit since I am long-waisted and most one-piece suits pull on my shoulders during workouts and sometimes chafe. I am a big fan of TYR and usually wear a different style of two-piece for my workouts, but I liked the look of the lower neckline on this suit. Holy moly, it runs SO SMALL! I am 5'9," 154lbs, with broad hips and broad shoulders but slender and muscular otherwise. I usually wear L or XL in TYR (just so I don't have to think about my rear end hanging out). Knowing this suit ran small, I ordered the XL, but the top was still super-tight, and would never be comfortable for extended workouts. The bottoms, too, were a bit small. I compared it to my other TYR suits, and it was about a size and a half smaller. Since I need my suits to perform through long swims, back this one went. What a disappointment!

I was looking for a sporty bikini to wear canoeing and such. I'm 5.7", 130lbs, 34B and ordered a SM and it was so small that I could barely get the top off. Bottoms were super tight. Order at least a size or 2 up. Cute suite, runs super small!

I really wanted to like this suit. It's a great style. I tried a small, sent it back for a medium, and sent the medium back too. I am 5'4" and 125 lbs with an athletic/small body type. I usually wear a 32B up top and a size 4 on the bottom. Both the SM and M were so tight they were uncomfortable. The leg holes were extremely snug and a lot of my bottom was hanging out! The straps on the top were digging into my shoulders. My last TYR swim suit was a small and it fit beautifully. Unfortunately, I think this suit is just a poor design.

This is the smallest sized swimsuit I have ever tried on in my life. It's cut for a child, not a woman. All my other swimsuits are a small so I ordered a medium in this after reading the reviews. I could barely get it on so I returned it and ordered a large (I've never worn a large in anything in my life) and even the large is extremely tight. Now I'm returning that one and giving up.
