I wore a borrowed one in a swim the other weekend. I have no complaints but not much to offer.

A friend of mine has one and also has a higher end wetsuit and he says he prefers the Vector. His opinion goes a long way for me (both he and his wife are very experienced triathletes and have nice gear). I am probably going to go with one when the time comes to order one but also interested in what everyone else has to say as well.

Other than the fact they've earned the nickname Ripterra there's nothing wrong. Flexibility and buoyancy are great.

I haven't heard that. I have the sleeveless entry model (can't remember the name) for 2 or 3 years now. I've loaned it twice and worn it a number of times. No rips or tears yet. Not saying they don't, just adding my experience.
