Overreactions with 60 to go: Sabres get back on right track, lose to team that was the Thrashers
You'd almost expect the Sabres to come out flying, riding a three game winning streak and having one game in the last eight days. But you'd be disappointed.
Buffalo came out flat, surrendered an early power play goal, and eventually fell to the team now called the Jets by a 2-1 score.
Patrick Kaleta's celebrated return to First Niagara Center ice was a storyline through the night, as his roughing penalty at 3:06 led to the opening Winnipeg goal.
Late in the second period, he was drilled into the boards from behind by Winnipeg's Adam Lowry, drawing a major penalty. Buffalo wasted no time, surrendering a shorthanded goal 14 seconds into the penalty, with Michael Frolik taking advantage of an Andre Benoit giveaway.
"It was tough," said Sabres defenseman Andrej Meszaros. "The puck was bouncing. We didn't execute. We didn't do anything on the power play."
Chris Stewart would pull the Sabres within one at 5:30 of the third period, cashing a breakaway for his second of the season. But Buffalo couldn't find a way to get the equalizer and dropped back into dead last in the league.
Jhonas Enroth made 24 saves for Buffalo, falling to 3-9-1 on the season.
- Rasmus Ristolainen was fantastic. Him and Nikita Zadorov were by far the Sabres' best defense pairing.
- Andrej Meszaros on the other hand was solid. Solid in the way that he played the Andrej Meszaros game that we've grown to expect, and that he was both awful and sometimes barely competent.
- Announced attendance was 18,442. Couldn't sell out the night before Thanksgiving? That's weak. Read the rest of this entry
Overreactions with 62 to go: Sabres beat Sharks (again) on wild weather day in WNY
It's fairly common for the region to figuratively groan every time Western New York gets attention for bad weather. It happens, but the locals will always argue that the summers are real nice and it snows more in other places and the people are great and yada, yada, yada… but with a national television audience tuning in, it was a night about the weather.
With up to five feet of snow (accurate) burying parts of metropolitan Buffalo, including areas just minutes from First Niagara Center, the Buffalo Sabres continued their dominance of the San Jose Sharks, picking up a 4-1 win in front of an estimated crowd of about 6,200. It was the Sabres' eighth straight win against the Sharks, who haven't won in Buffalo since 2005.
"It was strange at the beginning, but I think the people that were here certainly gave us a boost and how hard they fought even to be here," said Sabres coach Ted Nolan.
Brian Gionta scored twice for Buffalo, his first two goals as a Sabre. Model American and hockey god Brian Flynn added a goal and an assist, while Nic Deslauriers added the opening goal for Buffalo.
Michal Neuvirth stopped all ten shots he faced, but had to leave the game after the opening period with a lower-body injury. Jhonas Enroth entered the game in relief and stopped 19 of 20 San Jose shots to pick up the win.
Brent Burns scored for the Sharks, who account for two of Buffalo's three regulation wins this season.
- The injury forced goaltending coach Arturs Irbe, a former Shark who's been out of the NHL for a decade, to suit up as an emergency goaltender in case Enroth went down. Irbe spent five seasons with the Sharks, including their inaugural season in 1991-92.
- Buffalo finished with fourteen shots on goal, their third lowest total of the season. The 30-14 shot difference was near identical to the 30-15 shot totals in the Sabres' win over the Sharks in San Jose last month.
- I tweeted it before the game, but that'll be one of the more memorable games of this season and maybe of this whole rebuild. I haven't seen the building that empty since the bankruptcy days over a decade ago. Read the rest of this entry
Thoughts on Dom as Hasek enters Hockey Hall of Fame
As you go through life, there's always moments where you take a figurative step backwards and say to yourself, "Man, I got old quick."
Tonight will feature one of them.
Sabres legend Dominik Hasek, along with Peter Forsberg, Mike Modano and other hockey legends will be officially enshrined in the Hockey Hall of Fame tonight. The ceremony will be broadcast on NHL Network, and I'm really excited to watch.
These guys, these names, were names that were the stars of the game when I really got into hockey as a kid. They were the faces on the hockey cards I collected. They were the guys I traded for on NHL '96 when I was trying to load up my team. They were guys I mailed letters to hoping to get an autograph in return. They were idols.
And now I'm old and they're going into the Hockey Hall of Fame, an honor one only receives after time has passed since they've left the game.
Lots of time has passed since Dominik Hasek was here. It's been just over 13 years since he quickly skated to the bench after allowing Darius Kasparaitis' game winner in Game 7 of the 2001 Eastern Conference Semifinal against Pittsburgh, the last time he touched the ice as a Sabre.
It's been almost as long since he forced his way out of town, orchestrating a trade to Detroit late in the night before he could have become a free agent. Read the rest of this entry
Overreactions with 63 to go: Sabres crush Leafs in convincing and hilarious fashion
Any time the Toronto Maple Leafs are in town, it's dreaded. Thousands of thousands of the worst, most obnoxious jackasses that come through the doors of First Niagara Center all season routinely leave their mark.
Tonight, they left jerseys on the ice. They left beer cans. And they left without two points.
The Buffalo Sabres, with a home crowd in Leafs gear booing them as they took the ice, played their best and most complete game of the season. With a 6-2 win, the throngs of visitors and their opponent went home angry and disgusted.
It was great. Really. Really great.
Zemgus Girgensons scored twice and Buffalo got rock solid goaltending from Michal Neuvirth, stopping 32 of 34 Toronto shots.
"It's hard enough when you don't win games," said Girgensons. "Today was absolutely different how we played."
Tyler Ennis, Drew Stafford, Matt Moulson and Tyler Myers also scored for the Sabres.
"It was a fun one," said Ennis.
David Clarkson and Phil Kessel scored for Toronto, who lost to the Buffalo Sabres.
- Buffalo registered a season-high 35 shots on goal. The previous high was 32, twice. They registered 30+ just three times before tonight, and won none of those games.
- Brian Flynn on that second goal was super dreamy. Tyson Strachan ripped the puck around the wall and Flynn took off immediately, beats Reimer to the puck and is cool as the other side of the pillow in finding Girgensons in the high slot. Great play. Super duper.
- Understated with the goalscoring output is how well Neuvirth played. Made some huge saves early to keep the Leafs off the board until late in the second period. Read the rest of this entry
Overreactions with 66 to go: That Crosby guy is an okay hockey player
The best hockey player in the world was at First Niagara Center tonight, and spoiler alert: he doesn't play for Buffalo.
Sometimes, it's just a joy to watch a generational talent just light it up, and Penguins forward Sidney Crosby did just that. Crosby tallied an assist on each of Pittsburgh's first five goals, as the visiting Pens cruised, leaving the hometown Sabres with a 6-1 defeat.
Zemgus Girgensons scored late in the second period to make it 5-1, but it was answered by a goal by Evgeni Malkin. Pittsburgh also got two goals each from Kris Letang and Predators legend Patric Hornqvist. But it was the Crosby show.
The game looked a lot like this:
Buffalo's Jhonas Enroth was thrown to the wolves, giving up six goals on 39 shots. The Sabres struggled to generate offense, getting outshot 11-4 in the opening period and 26-12 through two periods.
- Enroth didn't even speak after the game, but it's not like there's much for him to say. He's 1-7-1 on the season and on average is facing almost 37 shots a game.
- The locker room after games is turning into a contest of "How many guys are left in the room when they open the door?" Guys don't want to talk, and it's usually the same things being said. Tonight, it was Josh Gorges, Brian Gionta, Drew Stafford and Zemgus Girgensons who really spoke. Cody Hodgson and Torrey Mitchell milled around. But everyone else just got the hell out of there. What can they say?
- Gionta had a team best 17 Corsi For and a team best 4 Corsi Against. Good game for him. He assisted on the Girgensons goal. Read the rest of this entry
Overreactions with 67 to go: Neuvirth can't do everything
There wasn't a lot of hope for good hockey with the 29th and 30th place teams in the National League facing off at First Niagara Center, but there was at least a lot of action.
If you were Michal Neuvirth, there was too much.
Neuvirth was impressive, but had to bear the brunt of 52 Edmonton shots, as the visiting Oilers handed the Sabres a 3-2 loss for their first road win of the season.
Noted Oiler-killer Drew Stafford and Matt Moulson scored for Buffalo, with Moulson finally snagging his first of the season. The two goals were enough to give the Sabres a lead in the final ten minutes, but the Oilers finally took control, with Mark Arcobello and Boyd Gordon adding the tying and winning goals.
"They were just throwing it at the net, and sending guys with traffic," said Sabres defenseman Josh Gorges. "To be honest, we should take a page out of their book."
Edmonton finished with 85 shot attempts, and their 52 shots on goal were both a season-high for them and a season-worst for the Sabres.
Buffalo is right back at it Saturday night, with the Penguins in town.
- The Sabres should trade Drew Stafford immediately after the next game against Edmonton, because his stock will never be higher. He always seems to score against them. Should've placed a bet on it before the game.
- Congrats to Oilers rookie Iiro Pakarinen, who scored his first NHL goal and now convincingly holds the title of my favorite name in the National Hockey League. The title was previously vacated by legendary Slovak forward Branko Radivojevic.
- Neuvirth is going to have an aneurysm at some point this season. He was very aggravated after the game, calling for his post game presser earlier than normal. He seems sick of being bombarded every game. And there's 67 games left!
- Absolutely wonderful job by the Sabres on the pregame ceremonies for Hockey Fights Cancer night. The Jim Kelly/Rick Jeanneret puck drop was great. Only thing I would've liked to see is the ads on the boards in monotone lavender like other teams have done.
- It amazes me that Ted Nolan felt that he just had to get Andre Benoit back in the lineup tonight. He was on the ice for a team-worst 41 shot attempts against, as well as the first two Edmonton goals. Play him more and see what happens: goals, for the other team.
- The look of relief on Matt Moulson's face was obvious. Hopefully they start going in more often for him. Not too often, we've got a tank to worry about. But he's the kind of guy you like to see succeed. He wants to be here, amazingly. Appreciate that.
- Attendance was listed at 17,490. In-house was probably closer to 15,500. Lots of empties for a Friday night.
- Edmonton had 85 shot attempts. 29th place, terrible Edmonton had 85 shot attempts. What a mess.
- Saw an Oilers beat writer tweet wondering why the Sabres would ever trade Tyler Myers. This means one thing: someone might actually want him. Sell. Sell. Sell.

Overreactions with 68 to go: Neuvirth shines in shootout loss to Habs
For 60 minutes, fans were treated to some of the most monotonous, unremarkable hockey that has been played in First Niagara Center, which is saying a lot.
But five thrilling minutes of four-on-four hockey weren't enough to decide the game, and thanks to a skills competition, Montreal walked out of Buffalo with two points after handing them a 2-1 shootout loss.
Drew Stafford scored the only goal for Buffalo, but goaltender Michal Neuvirth was sensational all night. While the Habs struggled to get shots on goal early, Neuvirth was sharp all night, stopping 31 of 32 shots, including 16 of 17 over the final 25 minutes.
Montreal's Pierre-Alexandre Parenteau scored both in regulation and in the shootout to propel the Canadiens to the win.
Buffalo now faces a weekend back-to-back where they host Edmonton and Pittsburgh on Friday and Saturday.
- This might've been Brian Gionta's best game as a Sabre. Facing his former team, he didn't tally a point but did manage to score in the shootout. He was noticeable, much more noticeable than he has been.
- Good for Nic Deslauriers stepping up to scrap and try to make an impression. He got fed some fists to the face, but you appreciate the effort.
- Tyler Myers was credited with the primary assist on the Stafford goal. Great work by him taking the puck himself, trying to deke through his own teammate Tyler Ennis, and losing control of the puck in such a way that it coasted right through a defenseman to Stafford on the doorstep. They all look the same in the boxscore. Read the rest of this entry
Overreactions with 71 to go: Bruins drop Sabres in overtime
For the first time since Columbus Day, the Buffalo Sabres scored a goal at First Niagara Center. Take what you can get, I guess.
Not one, but two goals weren't enough for the Sabres to claim their first home win, as the Boston Bruins came back in the third period to tie it before Brad Marchand scored the winner just over a minute into overtime to have Buffalo a 3-2 overtime loss.
Drew Stafford and Tyler Ennis scored for Buffalo. Jhonas Enroth made 34 saves. My original game recap vanished into cyberspace so here's a list of bullet point comments, representing each of Buffalo's 15 shots on goal.
- Not sure why Ted Nolan's spent so much time keeping Ennis, Stafford and Matt Moulson apart. They tore it up in preseason and were very effective in this game. This team is devoid of talent, so maybe keep the limited amount you have together.
- If Sabres/Bruins is a tough sell for you, you're not doing a good job of selling it. Maybe 14,000 people in the building for one of the team's biggest rivalries. Terribly soft secondary market. Pretty weak.
- Another game where you feel terrible for Jhonas Enroth. First goal is off Mike Weber. Second goal is debatable. Third goal he gets hung to dry. Not much he can do.
- Torrey Mitchell isn't exactly good, but his pass on the Ennis goal was fantastic. Did a great job threading that through the defense.
- Sam Reinhart should've been on a plane to British Columbia last weekend.
- Good on Chris Stewart for stepping up and fighting Milan Lucic. Jack up that trade value. Especially in front of a Boston team rumored to be after a deal. Those guys love that fighting stuff. Read the rest of this entry
Overreactions: Believe the hype. McDavid shines, Otters defeat IceDogs in Buffalo
It should've been expected.
For many in Buffalo feeling conflicted about the merit of the tanking that's totally not going on this season, tonight was the first glimpse at the prize waiting to be claimed: Connor McDavid.
And the Erie Otters forward showed why.
In front of a large crowd at First Niagara Center (announced at 11,391 and realistically around 9,000), McDavid and his teammates put on a show, with Erie defeating the Niagara IceDogs by an 8-4 final.
The first period was enough for people to see, as McDavid tallied three assists and showed his flare on almost every shift, propelling the Otters to a 4-2 lead. He'd add a goal in the third to push his point total through the first 10 games of the season to 29 (9+20), extending his league lead.
McDavid's linemate Alex DeBrincat (2016 Draft eligible) scored twice, as did Kurtis MacDermid (LA Kings free agent signing). Troy Donnay, Patrick Murphy and Shaun Bily also scored for the Otters, who sit 9-0-0-1 on the season.
Niagara's Jordan Maletta (undrafted) had two goals, while Graham Knott (2016 Draft eligible) and Cody Payne also scored for the visitors from across the border.
Buffalo native Stephen Dhillon ended up getting cleanup duty in the IceDogs' goal, stopping 11 of 13 shots in 27:09, just his second OHL appearance.
Some thoughts on the night:
- I've seen Connor McDavid play four times. He has 15 points in those four games. This was an average night for him. It's incredible.
- Lots of talk about Erie's Dylan Strome (who could also be a top-5 pick in this summer's draft) heading into tonight, warning fans not to forget about him. To be honest, he looked solid, you can see the talent, but he was unremarkable. Hard to stand out when you've got #97 on your team, but he reminded me of the times I saw Niagara's Brendan Perlini last season. Perlini was targeted as a top 10 pick, and went in the first round to Phoenix, but never really stood out or showed star quality. I'm sure I'll see Strome again, but first impression wasn't great. Read the rest of this entry
Overreactions with 76 to go: Bruins bury hard-working Sabres
After a notably poor performance in the opening period of last night's loss to Florida, the Buffalo Sabres came out flying against the Boston Bruins on Saturday night. Outshooting the visitors 16-12, it was a much better start for the struggling Sabres. Except for that whole scoreboard thing, of course.
A goal by Bruins defenseman Dougie Hamilton near the midway point of the first period held up, and Boston rookie goaltender Niklas Svedberg collected his first NHL shutout as the Sabres lost by as score of 4-0.
Zdeno Chara, Torey Krug and Carl Soderberg also scored for Boston, who collected just their third win of the young season.
Sabres goaltender Jhonas Enroth, starting for the second consecutive night, put in an admirable effort, stopping 32 shots and falling victim to some traffic in front of him. Unfortunately, the admirable effort
"Everybody's frustrated when you lose," said forward Cody Hodgson.
Buffalo extends their scoreless streak to 142:06, having last scored a goal Tuesday in Carolina. They now head west, with their next game in Anaheim on Wednesday.
- Losing isn't a bad thing, considering the endgame of this season, but it'd be cool to see some competent offense once in a while.
- Brian Gionta, Tyler Ennis and Matt Moulson were on the ice for three goals against. Gionta has been highly ineffective to this point and he's wearing a big letter on his chest. It's still only six games in, but it's becoming disconcerting.
- The Sabres are going to end up being slumpbusters for a lot of teams this season. Read the rest of this entry

OK - I have another secret shame to share with you all - and maybe someone can give me advice:
I have an enormous barrel chest. I swam competitively as a kid (I've read somewhere that that sort of aerobic activity as a child when the rib cage is still malleable is conducive to huge ribcage growth) and was an otherwise skinny long distance runner from my mid-teens to my late 30s. All that constant aerobic activity gave me huge lungs and caused my ribcage to expand. My chest is pretty impressive-looking compared to a normal chest - but it is really more ribcage structure as opposed to extra thick muscle mass - making me look bigger than I am (I weigh 200 - but often get mistaken for around 240-250). I really envy those guys whose chests are big pecs hanging out over an 8 pak that is very narrow in profile. My ribcage juts out very far under my pecs so I don't have that narrow-ness in profile. And it seems like looking from the front that there is very little room there for a 6 pak or 8 pak to show. Picture the "unnaturalness" of how the stomach vacuum exercise looks when the stomach is sucked in - and that's what I compare my stomach to in relationship to the ribcage - there is no natural taper down from my pecs ro show of an 8 or 6 pak - its this huge vertical drop ribcage that just suddenly stops and then has to pull in suddenly to my waistline - so it always looks like I'm intentionally "sucking it in". It seems when most guys do upper abwork, it is affecting the whole area between the belly button up to the pecs - with me, there is only an inch or two (at most) from the belly button before the ribcage starts that seems to be affected with ab work.
So my question - anyone else have this issue? I can't be the only freak here can I (no need to answer that LOL)? Does anybody know of any special or particular ab exercises that address or target barrel chest issues?

Hello all -
I wanted to know if anyone else is familiar with a major change that took place and went unannounced by Tesla. I took delivery of a loaded P85 3/22 and have been very happy with Tesla and the car. I've expected a few things here and there though I am very detail oriented and a perfectionist. I'm ok not having the spoiler, HPWC, and parcel shelf available at the time of pickup.
However, the entire headliner is fabric instead of the promised Alcantara. This is unacceptable to me. It appears that recently the factory made a change and all cars come with fabric. Mine was one of the first to have had this. I was never informed. Cost savings? Im not happy about it at all and to me it completely changes the feel of the interior. I was promised a car as configured, and changes have been made without my knowledge or even approval. I'm working to see what Tesla can offer and will keep you updated. Anyone else in a similar boat?
Thank you for the support everyone. Initially, I Mentioned to the Tesla representatives that the car should be better matched with the tan headliner going better with the tan interior as many of you mentioned. My previous cars usually had either gray or black headliner with the more premium cars having the Alcantara. I am very detail oriented and having alcantara in the performance addition was a huge plus as the interior is much more plush. Therefore, I accepted the fact that I would have a tan headliner with The black interior because it would be alcantara. Now, not getting either and having the Powers that be make this random switch, I'm really disappointed. As much as I love Tesla, they cannot do this Without communication. Everyone needs to be on the same page. I seriously doubt BMW or Mercedes be able to get away with a similar situation. And honestly, it's not even the cost of the car it is just more the principle of the matter. I would be upset if this car cost 5000 or 200,000.
Thanks again and let's see what happens.
With BMW or MB, most of the time it is WYSIWYG on a lot. You have a chance to see and feel the car you are getting. Yoi accept the car as it is or move on to something else.
Tesla is very different in that aspect. It is one of the areas where it had the others beat. At the same time it is a leap of faith.
When someone places an order based on a certain set of features, those features should match the order that is made. If there is a problem with getting the material that was designated then a similar or superior substitution should be offered.
Ultimately, Teslas are semi-custom cars.
Great point captain zap. I agree, that is part of the reason why this is more difficult. You expect one thing and it comes out to be something else. It is a leap of faith and you can only go by what is told at the test drive and the website. However, I don't think many would be aware of the Changes. I'm pretty sure they probably expected something like this to happen to those who noticed the change.
@Pritbir do you have a picture of the fabric headliner?
Not to mention that the cars have been Delivered as promised up until last week. It's a change that many may not even notice. For that reason, it just seems sneaky.
I took delivery 3/18, P07061, just checked and looks like I got Alcantara with my gray interior. I was expecting the beige fabric.
I definitely wouldn't go so far as to say anything was "sneaky". I serously doubt that there was any bad intentions. That is not what Tesla is about.
The word "sneaky" does have negative connotations and so I agree probably should be avoided.
On the other hand the move was:
- likely to save Tesla money (I can not think of another reason they would change)
- was made unannounced (and after people order assuming they were getting it)
As a consumer I would have preferred this change would have been announced in advance and existing orders be treated as before. I hope changes in the future will be handled that way.
I am a huge Tesla fan and I want them to make cars that are as close to perfect as possible. I want Tesla to become a success story for the ages (the beginning of the end of ICE cars).
I expect as an early adopter that my car is not going to be perfect but hopefully not because of issues that could have been avoided by a little planning and better communication.
btw - There have been a number of good points in the discussion. One comment was that the Tesla Model S is not a $100,000 car. Makes sense and cost savings on their $50K versions may very well need to save some money. On the other hand the Performance model is a $100K car that is their current flagship model. Just IMHO they should consider keeping the luxury aspect of that car as high as the can reasonably afford.
Hmmm - this is tricky stuff. Thanks, all, for bringing this to the fore. I've been asked to make the final payment on my P85 this week for an April 15th East Coast delivery. The Tesla folks are sprinting to squeeze in 1st qtr sales results.
I sure don't want to mess them up, but, it would be a real disappointment to spend $115,000 and end up with the cloth head liner....I'll have to chew on this one....
Had to get a service center repair today for the "Rear Axle Nut Washers." It gave me time to sneak a peek of the headliners. Here is a photo of the new headliner with the gray interior. The fabric texture is not visible in the photo. Maybe Pritbir or another Model S owner who has the new headliner can link to a better picture.
The side glass is green and does affect this photo a bit. Look through the rose colored windshield and the headliner takes on a beige tint.
Stopping by the Tesla Store, I showed them the photo. They do not have the new headliner fabric on display and some are planning to visit the service center to see it for themselves.
Hi guys -
First and foremost, I absolutely want Tesla to succeed. They deserve every award they received and the car is unbelievable. But in order for them to survive, I think I need to improve on items such as this. They need to be aware that discrepancies from what is expected could ruin the reputation. Once again, an occurrence such as this probably would not be handled or tolerated well by anyone buying $100,000 BMW or Mercedes. I hope they realize this because I too think that this is the future. I want to be done with oil.
The service advisors and the delivery specialist were also surprised that such a change was made internal to the company and not publicly announced.
As for photos, I'm not sure how to exactly insert them on the web and this forum as I usually use my iPhone.
The fabric though is the same as that going on the nonperformance versions prior to last week. Therefore, all cars will have the same fabric material. Their decision is probably related to cost savings I'm sure, but it should've been announced. That is what I meant by them trying to change things without announcing them. Tesla definitely informed me that I only had a week left to decide if I wanted the third row seats because they could not be retrofitted. They should've made the same announcement about the headliner telling us about the change. I too agree that Tesla is not about this and I hope that they do everything in their power to make it right. The only way that Tesla will improve is with our suggestions and input. I hope that enough people are able to offer positive input. I just hope that the resolution doesn't take more than a couple of weeks.
I was getting my rear seats installed yesterday and we were looking at getting a 60 for the #2 MS for the family.
The rep showed us a nonperformance that had the fabric headliner and I seem to remember hearing it said that only the P85 would be coming with the Alcantara headliners going forward. Seems like it should be in the features section anyway.
We sorta liked it, but then we were looking at the tan leather. I think if the financials were the issue, it would be offered as an option anyway.
TM definitely has got to focus on the com on issues like these. I'm confidant these things are about rapid expansion of factory ops, design engineering to marketing com stuff that is suffering from a lack of direct com put through.
Hopefully, they solve the issue by letting all futures know what's up and taking care to those it matters to that unexpectedly got the fabric.
Would also be interested to hear their response-I just finalized my P85 Green/Tan with pano roof last week and was looking forward to the luxury feel of Alcantara. Also scary not knowing what else they may change without notice.
I was disappointed in the headliner as well. But I never saw a promise of Alcantara but I did expect it and wanted it to match my black interior. As it was never specified I took the blame on myself as the interior shots of the car clearly show a cream headliner. I took delivery of my P85 6589 3/16 so I guess I missed the cutoff. The interior is the weakest point of the Model S IMHO not the design or layout as others have criticized but the material and durability will probably not hold up as well as my M5. I do love the car though.
I assumed the Alcantara cost is minimal, but it is fairly expensive. Retail is around $70-100 yard, and I expect the headliner uses at least 2 yards (without pano roof) and maybe more with typical waste in cutting to size. I'd guess if someone really wants it, a custom car shop should be able replace the fabric with Alcantara and even select the color you prefer.
Here's more than you likely want to know about Alcantara: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcantara_%28material%29
I guess I lucked out and have Alcantara in my 60KW, but then again I reserved my car back in early 2009. Perhaps some small benefit for being an early res holder. I don't ever remember being promised any kind of headliner and I'm just thrilled to have such a great car. The headliner type would not be on my list of reasons to buy the MS.
I looked at TMC to see if there was anyone who mentioned getting a Peformance version without a Alcantara headliner or whether anyone has gotten word of any changes to interior configurations regarding the Performance version's headliner. I did see one comment about someone accidentally getting a mis-matched sun visor and that was rectified. That's it.
All the other comments about the Alcanatara headliner were about how much they liked it and how it is one of the best yet most unsung features of the Performance Package. Maybe we weren't gushing enough about it.
I certainly appreciate the Alcantara headliner because I do not have a pano roof. I do hope that this case was an anomoly that can be rectified. If not, I hope Tesla revisits any modifications and makes any future changes or improvements well known in advance of finalizing.
I do know of one buyer that couldn't buy a Model S with Alcantara due to polyester allergies. He ultimately got the fabric headliner but it wasn't until he was absolutely certain that he knew what materials were used throughout the car's interior. Material changes can make a big difference to buyers.
Maybe OP can make a post at TMC to find out if anyone else there has heard any news or seen any changes. It is a much busier forum with many helpful people. There is an entire section just on the car's interior. Introduce yourself, stick to the facts and see what they know. Just don't be too alarmist. That might make them skeptical if it is one of your first posts there.
Thanks Captain. Useful, and wise, information.
Thanks guys. And thanks Captain for doing some research. I also visited the Tesla motor club forums. I didn't post there yet. I think that is a good idea.
Chris, I too am just about to sell my 2011 M3 sedan. The materials are flawless and I do think that Tesla needs to improve on interior Materials. P.m. five I believe has the suede headliner which adds such a nice feel.
Frank, I have been doing my homework as well and looking up aftermarket upholstery places In San Diego. I found a couple and I do have the panoramic roof. I'm waiting to see what the final word is From Tesla.
I was so upset reading these posts that i had to go out and check the head liner of my wife's new Mercedes E Class. Hers is fabric also. I sure she is going to be so diappointed to know that her new Mercedes has s second class head liner. it looks like the same material as my Ford's. How disappointing.
How would I know if I got the alcantera or not? Also I did not get my spoiler, they will be adding it later.
Dwdnjck - thanks for the helpful post . It's more the principle of the matter.
Ryan - the alcantara has more of suede type feel.
I just got an email from Tesla ownership...they state the issue has been escalated to a "top level."
I'm not surprised.
My issue that I alluded to earlier is also under review by upper management and Tesla let me know they needed about a week while they figure out what they can do. Fair enough.
Very cool.
OK great. This is what I expected from Tesla. Glad to hear they are following through.
Ready to place my ordering a Grey with Grey leather interior. With matching Alcantara headliner, that I was shown and told would be in my performance EV.
When somebody breaks my trust, it is difficult to continue. CONSIDERING CANCELING
Just spoke to Tesla representative. They indeed confirmed that from now on they won't use Alcantara headliner on Performance vehicles. The new headliner is a little lighter color wise and more durable as they said. The color is still light beige what doesn't match any interior but tan. But this is what we have right now and I don't see that any changes are going to happen.
I wouldn't panic and go that far until I got official word back from Tesla regarding the issue.
I wasn't expecting to see Alcantara used on the seat bolsters and I was a bit concerned about its maintenance and durability in that location when I got it. I figured that if turned out to be a problem placing it in that location that Tesla would fix it and make a modification in the future.
At the same time, I wasn't ever concerned about Alcantara's durability or performance as a headliner. I had big concerns about the headliners in the beta cars and I didn't care for the fabric headliner I saw.
Maybe they got some feedback that concerned them about the Alcantara and they are making a move toward a superior material that has the same performance when it comes to acoustics, noise dampening and aesthetic appeal.
Ultimately, they definitely need to be proactive about stating significant revisions in advance.
You're going to CANCEL the most innovative and coolest car on the planet because of the HEADLINER? REALLY?
I just don't get some people - be upset, complain to Tesla but CANCEL - no way!

Rated 5 out of 5 by simmons This hotel has great service. Excellent service, food and rooms. October 28, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by AngieD Pleasantly Surprised Our family ,which includes 3 children, stayed at the Crescent at the beginning of our week long trip to The Grand Canyon, and the end of our trip. We flew in and out of Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix so this location made sense. I saw the function of this hotel primarily to be a place to lay our heads during our vacation, but it turned out to be much more. My family was pleasantly surprised by the amenities this hotel offered. The kids were well entertained by the pool and the big slide. My daughter took great delight in the little playground and was amazed by the fragrant orange trees that surrounded the property. My 2 boys spent energy release time at the basketball court, fitness room and squash/racquetball courts. The hotel rooms are a little outdated but very clean and comfortable. Our room faced the pool area overlooking the slide, which tickled the kids. It also faced the mountains away from the traffic side which made my husband and me happy. The most pleasant surprise was Indigo Restaurant. My family voted the breakfast we had here the best of our entire vacation. The lunch was also very good. I would like to recognize our waiter, Garrett, who's service was exceptional during both visits. The hotel lobby, lounge, restaurant, computer corrals and meeting areas all appeared recently updated and more modern. The front desk employees were always helpful, friendly and professional. We would stay at this hotel again if our future travels bring us back to the Phoenix area. March 2, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Myfeedback Great Hotel I think this is great hotel. Good amenities, excellent service, rooms are clean. I stay here regularly, a few times per months when in Phoenix area. My only complaint is I was surprised to see the treadmill is still not operational at my last visit. This is going on 3 months. There are two treadmills, one doesn't work (again several months) and the other is making a large noise and is likely going to break. It is preplexing because I regularly see staff in the fitness center, and the center itself is spotless. They do a great job. Maintenence of the equipment needs to improve. Other than that, no complaints and this is a great hotel. January 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by RGG57 Repeat Experience This was my second business trip to Phoenix in 3 months and my second stay here. That should tell you that I had a good experience the first time and had the same good experience the second time. I like the Sheraton brand and find this hotel both convenient and comfortable. Meets all my needs as a business travel plus provides a great pool for relaxation after a long day! I recommend getting a room on the Club level. It doesn't cost that much more and the amenities in the Lounge more than make up for the expense. August 27, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by RonM Great Value, nice property I checked in somewhat early as my business meeting was rescheduled to the afternoon from morning. The front desk was more than welcoming and allowed me to check in about noon and offered me a suite upgrade which I accepted (I'm SPG Platinum). I didn't use any of the facilities as I was there only one night but in general, the property and staff were more than adequate. I don't understand why on some of the travel websites this hotel gets less than average reviews, in my opinion, this property is nice and more than par to the standards of a typical nice Sheraton. No complaints on anything. I have to be back in the area in two weeks and I will book this hotel. July 4, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by NealZ This hotel has gone downhill I have stayed at the Sheraton Crescent about a half dozen times over the past couple of years. My room has always been on the Club Level, which I have found to be nice and somewhat typical for a Sheraton Club Level in a hotel built in the 1980s. Unfortunately, while this information was not disclosed as part of the reservation process under "special conditions," the Club Level was apparently closed. While the hotel did attempt to compensate by providing me and my guests (I had a second room for my parents) with vouchers for complimentary buffet breakfasts in the restaurant and a compliment appetizer in the lounge at Happy Hour, this still fell below the usual amenities which one would expect from a Club Level experience. The regular rooms are quite worn and in need of repair. The furnishings are old, and there are not enough outlets for a laptop and iPhone at the desk. (Club level rooms have special L-shaped desks with extra built-in outlets.) The only outlet near the desk was controlled by the light switch, so the only way to charge a phone or laptop was to leave the light on! Epic fail. Regular rooms have fewer bathroom amenities (no body wash, loofah sponge, mouthwash, shaving cream, or bathroom). I have grown accustomed to having these creature comforts, and was sorely disappointed when they failed to materialize. Since the hotel obviously knew that they weren't going to be able to accommodate me in a Club Level room (and knew enough to pre-block 2 rooms on the 3rd floor next to each other), it would have made sense for them to pre-stock the rooms with those items. The high speed internet is abysmally slow. This is an ongoing problem, and I have experienced it before. While I get high speed for free as a Platinum guest, I would have been even more disappointed had I actually paid the $10/day for service which really isn't much faster than dial-up. Food in the breakfast buffet is mediocre at best. Perhaps this is because they've had to put together something on a shoestring to compensate for the lack of a club floor. But they couldn't even keep an available stock of clean plates. (I wound up putting my dried out scrambled eggs in a cereal bowl.) There is also no indication anywhere telling guests that they can order toast/bread from the waiter. It was only because my father ordered some toast that we learned that it was included and complimentary. If they aren't going to include a bread and toaster station at the buffet, there should be a sign indicating that bread/toast is available from the waiter. There were torrential rains over the weekend, and the balconies took on a significant amount of water. Drainage is poorly designed, so the balconies were unusable throughout the stay. I worry about mosquitoes and West Nile when I see that much standing water for a period of time. There were 2 family reunions over the weekend, and both seemed to have guests who were a but louder and more rambunctious than typical guests, and their revelry seemed to last well past midnight. While I certainly don't begrudge people the opportunity to enjoy joyously spending time with their families, I must draw the line at screaming drunks running down the hallway well after midnight. Where was hotel security, and why was this allowed to happen? If this was happening on my floor, it was likely happening on other floors as well. And it wasn't a single isolated incident - it was systematic and ongoing. (Yet another reason why I like the Club Level and why I was disappointed to learn that it was closed for renovation; it tends to weed out some of the more rambunctious element, and tends to be reserved for business and frequent travelers.) The entrance to the hotel from the parking garage remains a problem. There are a couple of steep steps without a center handrail (making it difficult for my elderly parents to ascend), and the door handle is directly in the afternoon sun, so the metal handle is usually too hot to the touch. I've actually burned my hand on that door handle. I'm not sure whether I will return to this hotel. I've had reasonably good experiences in the past, but this stay was pretty awful. July 22, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by LP27 The worst experience in hotel stay ever!!! Here are the facts of my recent stay: 1. They did not have 2 beds in room per reservation, finally they provided a handicap accessible room 2. Another lady on our team had same issue checking in right behind me and was upgraded to club level. 3. Rooms clock time was incorrect and only engineering can fix it. 4. We called 6 times for engineering over 3 days to fix TV as every time power was turned off the TV would not access whatever provider u have. 5. 1 roll of toilet paper 6. Front desk only wanted to blame issues on renovations and local cable provider or move us to another room. 7. We will never stay there again and will recommend to other soccer teams not to either November 19, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by jaques27 Problems uncommon with this hotel I frequently stay at Starwood Hotels,and the Crescent is one of my favorites. My stay on March 17 & 18 was less than what I had come to expect. The front desk could not be reached by phone from my room during the day, and when time to check out on the 19th, there was a long line with only one person working behind the counter. I wanted only to check out and pay my additional service charge; however, because of time constraints, I could not wait. Consequently, I now have a charge on my bill I did not want. I know this is uncommon for this hotel, but I want to make my concerns known. Thanks, Don Derrick March 21, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Jackie68 VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH OUR STAY!!! when we booked this hotel, the selling point was the water slide and the pool side bar! The slide wasn't connected to the main pool, you had to go to a totally different part of the outside area, and then it wasn't open the entire time they would close it part of the day...WHY? As far as the pool side bar goes, it wasn't open at all!! They shouldn't advertise it if they are not going to have it open..I was very dissatisfied with this whole stay!! We had two rooms for three nights... The prices for their room service and on site food was way way to high as well..We will not bee returning to this hotel... May 28, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by bear21 false adverstising and needs improvement I recently stayed here because we were moving my daughter into college. I was surprised about how reasonably priced it was and I guess you get what you pay for. I booked with Sheraton because they are a reputable name in the hotel industry and because they said they had queen beds (the other hotels in the area only stated double). However, I was very disappointed. The website claims that they have queen beds, not so. These beds are the double beds if that. When I talked to the front desk in regards to the size of the bed, they told me that they are not traditional size queen beds, but are specially made for the hotel a bit smaller!! This to me is false advertising! Also, we had to change rooms three times. They claim they are smoke free, but our first room smelled like smoke. The second room we went to we had to change because it obviously had not been cleaned well and there was a big spider/spider web on the ceiling that when they came to kill the spider, several baby spiders dispersed onto the ceiling. The third room finally was moderately satisfactory and we were tired of changing rooms! The lobby is very nice and I will say the staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. The hotel is definitely older and needs updating and if they claim to have queen size beds, then get them. September 1, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by irritatedloyalSPG 2 queens = 2 doubles Used our points to stay at this Sheraton while attending a conference nearby. It was the host hotel for the conference as well. Reservations were made thru the SPG travel associate,specifically requesting 2 queen beds - not doubles which they showed oh their webpage. when we arrived, the front desk told us we had 2 queen beds. but the room they gave us did not have 2 queen beds but 2 doubles. after much discussion with the manager, Cindy, she confessed that they were oversized double beds and agreed to give me a roll-away.. terrible misrepresentation - to us and many women who attended the conference. Also- The Dining Room staff was inadequately staffed to host the number of customers in the hotel. March 10, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by brwnis bad! I was being charged double for one week and now that I am not there I am again being charged. it just messed up my whole bank account now I am missing over $600. regret staying there. I was told it was resolved which is untrue. August 26, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Constanttraveler First night of stay was the worst hotel stay in many years My wife, two young children and I began our stay with guests in the neighboring/adjoining room smoking (supposedly an all non-smoking property), partying, playing loud music, and banging on the adjoining room door late into the following morning. Several calls to the front desk led to little relief and left my wife, myself, and our children, who had difficulty breathing the penetrating smoke, unable to sleep until 5am in the morning. I travel over 200 days of the year and this has been the most unpleasant hotel stay I have had in many years. The manager's apology the next day was appreciated, though only brought about by my insistence that he call me to offer an explanation as to why nothing was done. February 25, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Nic77 Not Recommended I was there for 1 night. I checked in and dropped my bags off at the front at 8P, upon my return at 11P, my bags were still not in my room. I called the front desk and the person who answered the phone said, "I just got here, I have no idea." Finally received my bags around 11:30P. Called for a wake up call, never got one. In the morning, went to the gym, came back, got in shower, there was a cockroach crawling on my shower stall, I left promptly. August 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by bclmjl Incredible Accomodations Our stay was wonderful and the staff was very attentive and kind. The grounds were beautifully maintained and the rooms and lobby area very clean and elegant. August 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MG4766 Mr G The room was good size, due to my back problems I found the mattrees and pillows excellent for a good night sleep, The landscape was well manicured made it enjoyable for a morning stroll around the hotel. Didn't take advantage of the pool area due to cold weather but did look enticing. Will stay in the future. January 28, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by reba72 Clean and comfortable The hotel was clean and comfortable, the staff had thought of many little things that could bother a person on a trip. The rooms were stocked with what you would need, staff was helpful and friendly. Some of the decor was a bit old but clean. I would stay there again. The restaurants nearby were good, however there wasn't anything else to do within 5 miles. My only other complaint was that they placed a family with small children on the other side of a joint door when the rest of the floor was pretty empty. Like being seated next to the only other couple in a restaurant, it was annoying when i could hear the kids crying. Esp. since they could have had 20 other rooms on that floor that were not next to anyone. Though if I had complained, i bet they would have offered me a different room. July 21, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Lucky5 Beautiful Resort I went to the restaurant twice for dinner. Very slow service, inattentive to customers. However, the food was very good. August 24, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by DisappointedSPG THIS HOTEL IS IN NEED OF GREAT IMPROVEMENT Complained on multiple occasions during the visit of a raw sewage smell in bathroom. Complaints were initially ignored--was even told by front desk staff that, "We had someone to go in your room and spray". The eve of Day 4, I spoke to one of the managers who stated that when I checked out the problem would be addressed and was offered Starwood Points--I was never offered an opportunity to change rooms. By the night of day four, the smell was so terrible that I had to place towels at the base of the bathroom door to mask the smell. My peers also complained of the smells in thier rooms, in addition to mold found around the rims of the bathtubs. Very Disappointed and will not consider the Hotel for future visits. April 2, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by crew Hotel is good--management needs to be more attentive I stopped by the evening before my departure--requesting if I should reserve a cab for the trip to the airport. I was assured by folks at the front desk several times, "we always have several cabs waiting" and it was unnecessary to make a reservation. The NASCAR event was in town and it was obvious many guests would depart the morning after the race. When I went to the lobby at 7:30am I was told NO cabs were available. It is common sense when managing a large departure of guests--probably leaving around the same time after a big event may require better transportation planning. The bell captain, Effron was very good and really tried to help--the manager was rather callous. Thanks for listening and improving for next time. March 5, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by townjcvt Disappointing... Once again had to ask for Fitness Center towels each day of my stay. In addition, with an unusually large group in the hotel one evening, I had to watch the poor bartender run like crazy to try to serve food and drink to all the patrons by himself...with no help from management. It used to be that there was always management on-site in the evening who would help out during unanticipated rush periods. Now either there is no management on-site in the evening, or they are on-site but prefer to stay hidden in their office rather than ensure customer satisfaction. January 27, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Girl12 Average experience I had a good time except I had problems with my cold water pressure, had to hot water in the sink. The cafe, the indigo Bistro was good had nice quality food. I love the fitness, recreation center. August 16, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by SPGGuest91 Subpar The hotel had signs that it was going through renovations, but I didn't actually see any work being done. It was just old and frankly worn down. The front desk was never staffed with more than 1 person, which made checking in about 30 minutes to get through the line. Any minor question took forever because there was always someone in line. The room was never cleaned by housekeeping. I was there 2 nights. The only saving grace was what appearred to be a maintenance employee who was very helpful when I asked for directions to a group lunch out on the patio. November 7, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by SpotOnNot Incidentals What shocked us were all the extra charges that should be part of any stay:: 1. Make Coffee free and all day long in Lobby, Switch over to DeCaf starting at 2-4PM. Cheap motels have this. 2. An Oxymoron is charging for a TollFree call. What ?? 3. Install a microwave and Frig in each room. Even cheap hotels have these things. 4. $45.00/person for a Mexican brunch is crazy! $45.00 for two would maybe be fair. 5. There should be a FREE continental breakfast evry day. Cheap hotels do this. Until you get these things fixed, I will not be staying there any more. April 16, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by thisplaceishorrible Horrible Experience I was at the hotel with a group Seminar. We checked in on Friday afternoon. Upon check in the front desk billed my card for the room charge after I told them we were with a group. We went out to the pool around 3:00 and there was only one other family there. The bar/food was not open. We sat under a gazebo. When the bar/food opened we were told we had to leave because we had not paid for day use of the gazebo. REALLY...there was no one there and it was 4:00. The attendant working there was Matthew and he was very rude! He also instructed the other family with a very small child there they had to move. I asked if we could stay because there was literally no one else at the pool and it was already 4:00. I was told NO. We then just moved our chairs in front of the cabana we were sitting at. After a while about 5 other people came to the pool area. At that time we were told again we had to move our chairs because the pool area was "filling up". Honestly, there were at that time maybe 10 people including our party, I have pictures to prove it. I was very upset and as Matthew walked away he commented to another guest that he didn't know what my problem was. Do not talk about guests to other guests. Very unprofessional. To top it off Matthew also told us that he wasn't happy that the family that was there earlier with the small child was sitting under the gazebo eating subway. Well.....the food/bar was not open. Again, this was a small toddler! We ordered drinks that were the worst we have had and cost 10.00 each. We had to throw them out they were so bad. This person should not be in the service industry! I had a guest with me who is a General Contractor and in the process of remodeling some areas of Metro Center. He was considering housing out of town associates at this location. However, after this experience there is no way! Do not recommend this place for anything! To top it off my room charge is still incorrect and I am having to call and find out what is going on.

Rated 3 out of 5 by kwaldo Outdated rooms Staff was friendly but understaffed. Had to wait for valet, wait for checkin with hardly anyone checking in, no assistance offered with bags as there was no one to help, trouble getting thru to front desk and room service. Room service was however delivered quickly and food was good and prepared as requested. Most starwood properties offer an upgrade or amenity to starwood members. This hotel only acknowledged I was staying on points and nothing else. Bit disappointing. Stayed here once before about 4 yrs ago. Do not remember feeling this disappointed. March 2, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by 58Kevin Great Hotel While we only spent one night at this hotel, our stay was met with friendly and courteous staff, great facilities, and awesome food service. It was a large meeting we attended and the staff was very responsive with information, directions, and took time to carefully explain hotel policies to us. The room was comfortable with a great view. August 1, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Eliza7 4th floor smells like Las Vegas cassino. I was confused if you can or cannot smoke in the facility. The 4th floor, room, sheets, everything smells like smoke. Room is not exactly clean. Room service takes the trash out, change a few towels and barely makes the bed. The gym was greasy and dusty. No towels available. My sink was clogged, room #450. The shower water doesn't get hot - just a little worm and I felt cold. I was working, leaving early and arriving late and didn't want to pack and change rooms in the middle of the night - and I figurede new room iouldn't be very different. November 15, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by titania2014 Not up to expectation We stayed here only because of its convenience to a business appointment. 1st I fixed the toilet in our room - the flush chain had come loose. 2nd I had a drink in the lounge - was quoted a price then charged $1.50 more. I had to ask the bartender about it. No explanation or apology from him. 3rd there were lots of young people lounging in the lobby due to events at the hotel but no one seemed to care about their behavior. Did not present a professional appearance for the hotel. June 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by azsunfun Wish we were there longer! Only stayed 3 nights but it was wonderful. From the Staff to the Decor it was great. Everyone was pleasant & professional and if you had a question or concern it was answered immediately. I strongly recommend the Mahi Mahi "Tacos" (wrapped in lettuce not taco shells. They were so very tasty and moist (not fried or breaded). The room was clean and very comfortable. Went to a very large event and the dinner was fantastic. Everything was fresh and hot (or cold) as should be. Cannot wait to come back! June 16, 2014

Due to these trying economic time, the thought of a worthy 250 commuter, a workhorse, is certainly more appealing to riders than ever before. The Inazuma fills that role brilliantly. It's effective, idiot-proof and economical and its classy touches, badge, two-year warranty and more lift it above the general morass. The trouble is the price. We aren't convinced that the ...

There are a lot of good points about buying a maxi scooter like the SR Max. Fuel economy is one, simplicity is the other. There aren't many full-licenced motorcyclists who would buy a scooter on these benefits alone because of the image they portray of being 'a ladies bike'. Maybe this is why Aprilia has wound up the 'sport-styling' knob ...

Kawasaki has revived a dead class of motorcycle – the cheap and cheerful trail bike. Soft power, a novice friendly chassis and low running costs are completely at odds with the hardcore enduro styling. It's as happy getting back and forth to work every day as it lolloping along green lanes.

The Gilera Nexus sits between the Nexus 125 and the Nexus 500 as the mid-capacity sporty scooter in the Gilera range. The design is based around the concept of a sportsbike, but adapted for a CVT step-through scooter. It's certainly sportier than most big scoots – but essentially it's a commuter with a sports image.

Ordering for a Team?
Let our Team Division Help!
Item has a Minimum Qty
The simple and timeless Striped Jammer is a must-have piece for any swimmer!
I am a lap swimmer and I swim everyday. I actually have a streak that is nearing 1600 consecutive swims in 1600 consecutive days. The length of the swims vary from 1000 yards to 7 miles. Most of the swims are in pools that are chlorinated. From August 2012 to September 2013 I only went thru 2 suits. Both were like the jammer I am commenting on now. Waterpro has made a suit out of material that holds up. The elasticiy was still pretty good after 6 months and it was fade resistant. I ordered two more and I don't expect to buy another suit until August/September of 2014. I only wish that they made a different design but I will settle for simple as long as the suit holds up. The cost is less than the name brands. The jammers by Speedo and Tyr usually last me about 30 to 35 swims but this particular suit by Waterpro will give me about 180 swims before I fear a "wardrobe malfunction".
I was mainly concerned that these jammers might be too small or not good for running after the swim portion of a triathalon. No worries. I ordered my waist size and they are just right. They are not restricting when running/walking/biking. The inner liner provides a good deal of modesty. It takes a mile of walking after the swim before they start to dry out.
Definitely get one size larger. They have lasted a long time - 6 months and running now.
I highly recommend this product for anyone who needs to swim everyday.
These are nice swim jammers and the price is right. They are properly sized - I am a 31 inch waist and the size 32 was perfect. Very comfortable. I have only worn for a few times so can't vouch for durability. I will probably order another pair.
Too limited time for true test. but seems to be fine. 1st polyester suit.
I had to order it twice to get the right size and would give it 5 stars without that issue. I would recommend a size smaller than you usually get. I've had them for a few weeks now and have been in a chlorinated pool with them 5 or 6 times and they appear to be holding up very well. I really like these a lot.The Fedex parcel post shipping is horrible, though. I live about 19 miles from the distribution facility and it took me 4 days to get them. If shipping were free, maybe that's OK. The folks at swim outlet were great and took care of me, but the Fedex service is terrible.
They are true to size. When washed in cold after each use and line dried they have lasted more than a year. I ordered this pair as a replacement pair for the i year old jammers,
Good price, great product!
Have been used for a couple of weeks about three times a wk. Seems thicker than other swim suits I have used before, so I hope it withstands the clorin in the water better. So far so good.
Get an alert when we add new styles of Waterpro! Simply sign up and we'll notify you.
