Has anyone else found this suit to be "scratchy"? It irritates my inner upper arm during high intensity water aerobics.

I have had zero issues with this suit and I swim laps even did some sprints

I have this swimsuit and use it for water walking and laps. I don't find it scratchy or irritating at all. It's very comfortable, and I'm happy with it.

I personally have not had any issues with it feeling scratchy but I don't usually do high intensity activity in it.

This sleeve gave me (and many, many others) a bad rash where the upper retention band touched my skin. Still there after nearly a month. If you're not worried about the rash possibility then there's no reason it wouldn't stay on in the water--certainly you can wash it.

I've worn mine in the pool all day but not all day every day... I don't know if it might wear out quicker with the constant water contact. Have you tried asking on Fitbit's FB page? I asked them a question last year and they answered pretty quickly.

I used a wood tongue depressor to smooth it out some. When it dries if not smooth it can be scratchy against skin. It is not too difficult to get off skin when still tacky.

Reina,I am lazy as well not with out doing some exercising. It does make me sweat, the problem I have with it is that the arms are really long and it runs big. I have to fold the cuffs on the arms over about three times. I don't think they are made for women(normal).

Yes! This would definitely be a better (and lighter) choice for a triathlon, rather than a wetsuit! Good luck!

No. I have not experienced that. You would have to sweat an awful lot on the outside of your bicep, which seems unlikely.

The material used is very similar to the material used for wet suits. I would recommend to check with your doctor first regarding contact of dirty water and bacterial elements on prolonged contact with your skin.

It's normal. The rails don't always match perfectly. It happens on my machine all the time. You get used to itI should say that mine is a slight but noticeable bump though nothing that would interrupt my workouts. If yours is significant, check to make sure everything is locked down and if not, contact Bayou Fitness.

It seems to breathe really well, but I live up in the Sierra Nevada and it's always dry, even when it's hot. The sleeves are pretty loose. They come down to the middle of my wrist or so. But I think I've got the sleeves figured out. They've got a velcro tab, and can be worn up really easily. Like you just slide them up above your elbow and pin the velcro. It's a different fit. Not like a regular Under Armour long sleeve for running. Everything works, but the whole combo takes a little getting used to. Hope this helps.

We've had one of these for over a year--through the hottest of the summer and sub-freezing winter. I thought it would be unbearable in the winter. If you can hold your hands under cold running water then this is going to feel fine on your delicate parts!

Hmm, I know it has kept me plenty dry, warm, and not sweaty and I have given it plenty of action, including violent swims. The neck gasket does leak a tiny bit, which happened a couple of weeks ago at Kilchis River on the SHORE when I got wave after wave of heavy rain dumped on me for a good half hour. Get one of those LL Bean fleece fishing jumpsuits for $50-60 to wear under it, and a sweatshirt to wear between it and the drysuit if it's cold outside, and you will be fine.

I put mine inside my bra - it works. I have also done 'like for like' workouts with it attached to my ankle and forearm - the results have all been the same as if I wore it on my arm. I wish BodyMedia weren't so egotistical and would come up with better wearability options.

The one I received looks similar but not exact to the photo. I wear it under my cloths and can be seen around the neck-line. as would a razor back tank ect. it is a little noticeable but not very? I suggest a t shirt under because after about an hour it really starts hurting my arm-pit area. Other than that it does take a lot of pressure off the back and is a noticeable change. I wear it on the elliptical and at the office (where I need it most is at my desk)

I phoned Timex and it's all waterproof (unless you press any buttons) but I forgot to ask them about chlorine effect. They did say the heart rate signal can't transmit to the watch while under water.When I wear it all day, I usually feel like my ribs got bruised, and I have it on it's loosest setting. I even took off the elastic, and just but the stiff part on my with sports tape (and it transmitted), but I still got that feeling. But I sit maybe 80% of the time I wear it so maybe that's a factor for the ribs pressing against something hard.

No. I do find that my arm gets a little sweaty wearing it but really not bad.

Yea it is a lil textured which was something I was worried about bc I wanted clear but I actually liked the textured look. For the price it's worth a try. As far as the scratchy sound I don't remember. I've upgraded to the 5s and if it did make a sound it isn't enough for me to remember lol. Give it a try! :)
