Light. Well made. Easy to put on - hard to take off.
Unbiased review. All critical issues are mentioned (despite the fact, I am happy about product)
1. Shipping. Arrived in a neat clean ziplock bag, inside large envelop - packaging was great
2. Ordered XL, fit perfectly *my height*. I am 5.2, size 14-16 US). When I put it on, it was hard to zip (cuz of puffy tummy) and I could see the inch of "body" between sports bra and suit - but I knew ahead it won't take more than a week to zip it without efforts and it's exactly what happened. If you are a tall person, you might consider a size up. That "inch" is no longer showing either.
3. Its super easy to put it on. Zipper works well and holds. However taking it down takes a lot of efforts as its glued to sweat body and you prob gonna lose plenty of extra calories just by trying to remove it :-). However, it's not the fault of the product! Would be nice to have some "extra handle" on the back. It would be also *nice* if there would be some extra triangle of soft material added to top of zipper so body does not feel it (its not bothering anyhow)
4. I owe multiple products from the same material diff brands and $. They all work differently. This one has a lighter material and I don't get a drops of water on it inside after workout - it absorbs sweat well, the material is nice, soft, and LIGHT. Its well made and as a free bonus, matches my blue-accented shoes.
5. I walk/run with it but putting hands up (weight lifting?) is an effort. It works perfectly for my needs, so 5 stars. For weigh-lifting, I would order a sleeveless one from the same company in future.
5. Very important. Do not exercise in this product for a long time. Just like any other product of the same material. It puts a lot of work on your heart and when I did a research it was like no more then an hour a day. I use it in the morning only because of this (and normal sports clothing for the night workout). You don't burn calories, but you do lose water weight, it will show it on your devices and also this type of material makes magic with cellulite (skin is silky too). I don't count on it when losing weight (water weight will eventually come back) but it does help. Also DRINK plenty of water because you lose a lot of water from your cells.
I did not receive anything for this review - its just a fair and honest Amazon review (which is a rare find nova days).
