There are many fast suits on the market and if you want to optimize your performance at a meet you should wear one.Probably the most cost effective is the Yingfa and they are definitely fast suits.The question is:are the new Speedo and TYR suits faster and if so are they worth the extra expense to YOU.
I expect they may be slightly faster,plus there is the psychological advantage of knowing you have "the fastest suit."(Or alternatively the disadvantage of thinking the other swimmer has a faster suit.)
I currently like the B-70 Jammer more than the Speedo because it is lighter and I hope they come out with a long jammer soon.
