New challenger to the Speedo Fastskin^3

Men's high waist jammer is $260, traditional $240. Women's models are $320. Available in size 22 to 32 for both sexes (and long sizes for women).
I think the other benefit these high-waisted suits might provide is keeping water out. It seems like the current suits have a tendency to ride too low (i.e, "plumber butt") and this provides a nice channel for water to enter the back of the suit and collect in the crotch area.
Very true, male swimmers need to figure out the best spot for their racing suits to cover their lower backs.
the sweet spot provides the most coverage and compression and let's in the least amount of water in during races.
