Bro, the only equipment which hasn't gotten any better is the deadlift suit. The Marathon suit is still the best. Unfortunately, they refused to pay the sanction fees to the IPF, and are not allowed anymore, which is BS.
I'd say that the Marathon squat suit is just as good as any out there too, single ply at least. Those Marathon guys sure knows their shit! But Titan makes good suits. Avoid Inzer like the plague though. They're crap. Metal makes almost as good deadlift suits as marathon, and when it comes to benchpress, Titan is king.
