With jammers, I'm still not convinced there's much incremental benefit for a guy over a good $100 TYR Tracer Light / old school paper suit.
Which is exactly why I don't spend the money like that. I'll spend $20-25 for a suit to race or practice in. Yingfa is right in my budget that way. I can get 4 of them and still save money over the $100+ suits. I'll race in briefs too. Not a big deal to me, but I also never used any of the full body suits either. I did like the full leg suit I played around with my first few months of masters, but I wasn't in good enough shape to really make good use of it though. :(
