I love this one piece. I have been a fan of Prana one pieces since the Elleana. Fits perfect and is very comfortable in the water.
Disclaimer: my upper body and lower body are very different sizes (top 4-6, bottom 8-10) and many one piece swimsuits don't work on me for that reason. I ordered a M and L in this suit hoping one would work... Unfortunately neither did. I am looking for a suit I can nurse my baby in and this seemed ideal due to the zipper, but I found both sizes rather unsupportive in the bust. The band for the shelf bra is at the line where the colors change on the torso of the suit, which for me was a couple inches below where my bra would sit. Quality seemed nice, and maybe if you have a more proportional body it will work for you.
As an athlete and also over 50, It is hard to find that perfect suit. I have a long torso and often prefer two piece type suits so I dont experience that "pull" . I decided to try this one on the sporty look and loved the convenience of a zipper to get in and out easier. Material is nice, great quality which i depend on with Prana. I am a size 4/6 generally. 5'7" 135 lbs and decided to go with the 6 because of my torso length and the idea maybe more space. It is a little loose around the legs but ok and not pulling or uncomfortable. It is very cute on. I like it a lot. I have yet to try it out in the water but looking forward to it in the water kayaking and paddle boarding.
Fell in love with this from the pic before I even purchased. Been looking for a sporty high neck line suit and this fit the bill. I immediately purchased it & couldn't wait for its arrival. Love the material, fit well, I am a D cup in a petite body (5'0' 103 lbs) ...It does hold me in ....my only comment is that the pads are placed incorrectly in the suit. I will probably pull the pads out because of it. They are placed so low offering minimal support. A shame - as the pocket for the pad is below my ribcage. The suit is snug enough for me to give me support without the pads, but I feel for others it might not be. Just my feedback, I feel it is a design flaw. I love the suit tho.
I am loving this one piece. I fell in love with Prana neoprene one pieces back when they made the Elleana. So comfortable and practical for this surfer girl. I am 5'4 and fluctuate between 110 -115 pounds. The small fits me perfectly.
Fit is consistent with other prana suits, which for me, I find them a little small and always size up. Not a big deal since its consistent. The zipper works great. I love it for being able to nurse my baby but also go and play hard in the water without worrying about fallin out. My biggest complaint is the little yellow blocks on the bottoms dont like to lay flat. They roll and tuck pretty quickly after fixing them. Also, the color choice isn't great for that block as it just looks like a weird tan line from a distance.
Cute suit for active days in the water. It has good coverage and holds everything in! I was a little concerned about other reviewers’ comments on the sizing but it fits me great. I’m 5’4 140 athletic build for reference- I ordered the medium. My favorite feature by far is the small key pocket. Material seems durable so I’m hoping this suit will last a long time. Using it for paddling and warm water surfing.
I have a thick muscular build and a large chest so most one pieces don't fit quite right or block me odd, this is exactly what I needed! My community pool operators are a bit prudish so with me being a strong and curvy build it basically rules out two pieces for me since its over scandalized with my body type. I've gotten loads of compliments in it from friends too!
hey friends. I love the style of this suit as it looked like it would fit an athletic body type like mine - broad shoulder, narrow hips. Not a winner for me though as there just isn't enough elastic in the leg openings to keep me covered. So it's a no go for me. I'm sad because I love the style so much. I bought a Size 10, 125 lbs, 5'3.
This suit fits and flatters! Just enough seat coverage and a narrow racerback for maximum movement makes this a great suit for physical pursuits like swimming, paddle boarding, etc while the front zip makes for easy on/off, and versatility in how much skin you want to show off! Love it (and the little pop of pink in the details!
