My two practice suits (jammers) were both so stretched and ripped they couldn't be worn separately, so I usually wore them together. Now they're at the point where they can't be worn at all without acting as parachutes or falling off entirely (okay, no parachute!). I hate the thought of pulling a good competition suit into daily use but I guess I have to for now.
So do you folks usually spend for a more expensive suit that might last, or the closeout suits that probably won't? And what is the best fabric for a daily-use suit? -all the online descriptions say is how 'fast' they are. I thought of buying a triathlon suit that's supposed to endure a bicycle seat -anything that would last more than six months.
So what jammer-style suits are good for day after day use? And yes I'll rinse them with cold water, promise.

Polyester suits are the best. I am partial to the Speedo Endurance+ line. Anything with Lycra/Spandex is going to wear out. First they stretch (quickly) and then begin to fade and the material starts to fall apart. You're better off with the Polyester suits.
Poly suits cost a little bit more, but only $5 or $10. It's definitely worth it.
