So, in the time I've been a member of this forum I have never seen a debate about this, though I feel it could have be rehashed a thousand times.
For practice and regular meets, what are your suit preferences?
For practice: I usually do a brief with a drag suit. If I'm out of shape or my quads are hurting, I'll use a jammer for the extra compression.
For regular meets: I usually do whatever the team suit is, which has varied over the years. I prefer the brief because of more flexibility.
In big competitions*:, I would use a leg skin and if I had the need to buy one today, I'd probably go with a tech jammer.
*Regionals, States, Nationals, etc
For practice I use primarily speedo endurance products. Regular meets I go for the speedo xtra-life or aqua blade.
I used to get a lot of crap for wearing a brief, but now I feel like they're making a comeback. I like to think I converted some people on my high school team. Actually, the only person who really gives me crap anymore are my friends who don't swim and my girlfriend (who does swim). She says the ugliest part of a guy is the upper outside thigh the brief doesn't cover.
However, it also spawned a strange prude, puritan attitude (lead mostly by the anti-gay movement and NBA player Michael Jordan) that men should never, ever wear shorts that expose their upper legs in public places. Hence the "Male Burqua" or "Leg Veil" look came into fashion.
You are a weirdo.
It has absolutely nothing to do with any movement, either pro or con. I don't even really know what you mean by that anyway.
As a kid growing up playing basketball in the 70s and 80s I can tell you that baggier shorts are much more comfortable than grape smugglers.
Isn't it time you moved on from this subject?
