Hi, guys --

I'm spending a week with my brothers at the beach this summer, and I'm thinking it's time to look into new swim gear.  I have an Underworks 997 (their regular double-front binder) that I've kept out of my usual rotation and used exclusively for swimming over the past three or four years, but the wear-and-tear from chlorine and salt water has done a number on it over time, and it doesn't bind very well any more.

I know Underworks makes a swim tank now (you can view it here:  http://www.underworks.com/men/compression-swimwear/sleeveless-swim-top), and it looks like it's gotten good reviews online.  However, I've also heard that it might not bind as effectively as the 997 model, and I've got a HUGE chest (DDD pre-binding; probably closer to a C or regular D now, but still huge).  Do any of you guys own one?  If so, how does it handle?  I'd be especially interested to hear from guys with larger chests.

Thanks in advance!

Andrew did a very nice write up about the Underworks swimwear, though I can't speak to his chest size. May be worth sending him a message if he doesn't pop in here.
