Has anyone seen the new suntail tails in person?
I heard they were supposed to be made from a more durable fabric. I'm wondering how the fabric feels, if they fit the same as the older style, and if the prints are as nice as on their site?
I know that some of their tail skins look way different in person than they do on the site
Thanks!

I have the ocean deep one! I got it as a replacement for the bali blush one that got torn up on its first swim. I haven't taken it for a swim yet because I want to use it for photo shoot first but it is thicker and the seams are less noticable and seem to be sewed stronger. The color is very vibrant, I'd say it looks like it does on the website. They also sent me new tip protectors with stronger adhesive since the ones on my bali blush tail fell off in the pool within a few minutes. I'm going to make a comparison video after I take it for its first swim.

Aria, thank you so so much for this info! Would you mind sending me photos of your new tail and/or linking me to the video when its made?
I have their old style blue lagoon tail and it's gorgeous and has not torn at all yet thank goodness! But I am thinking of ordering a second one. I haven't completely decided yet. I am kind of waiting for a few reviews to pop up mainly for the print. I find the blue lagoon tail GORGEOUS! I love how there's a gradient from blue at the sides to green in the center. I believe the bali blush tail has a similar gradient thing going on. But the only of their new tails that seems to have that is the ocean deep one. But I'm thinking of getting one of the other colours because I already have a blue tail.

I can take pictures of it when I get home from work around 6ish tonight. The video won't be done for a week or two since I need to make plans to get to the beach with my photographer (aka my boyfriend).

So I ordered and received the siren green tail. I already had the blue lagoon tail. The newer tails including siren green were supposed to have been made with a more durable fabric. I honestly can't tell. The material feels the same. I've swum in it a few times now and I feel the wear and tear is similar to the old tails. I swim in my blue lagoon tail a lot. I've taken it in freshwater, saltwater, and chlorine pools and barely see any wear.
I do notice that the seams on the end of the siren green fluke are wider than on the blue lagoon tail. But that's the only difference I've noticed.
They both seem to be good quality for fabric tails. I don't think the new styles are more durable so choose whichever colour you prefer!
