I used my Nike GTD red brief for my last USA-S meet in Ellensburg, which was a size 30, and it seemed to fit just fine, and I had a great meet with it. Maybe it's the jammer, or maybe something else?
Could be because I got the brief last year and it fit fine.

Just thought I'd revive... everyone figure out their Nationals suits?
I'd love to know what the consensus is for the fastest suit to $ ratio is.
I agree. As a novice masters competitor in championship meets, I have yet to wear jammers ever. I train and compete locally in a Speedo Endurance brief. I am reading these comments to learn more about wearing jammers at the USMS 5K OW Champs on April 27.
I've been wearing the speedo endurance tarzan-cut suits for practice b/c I don't like jammers most of the time; but I do like to put on the jammers for meets b/c of the extra compression on the legs, reducing drag.
Do jammers in OW make us look more like shark bait?
They are small -- but pretty true to the sizing chart. If you have big legs, you might want to get the bigger one, because although the waists match up with Speedo, both of my suits have skinnier legs than any Speedo I've ever worn. They are tough to get on, but comfortable once I squeeze in.
I wear a 32 or 34 Endurance and I get the XL (30-32).
I have no idea why I even read this thread, but may I add my :2cents: ? I bought my ladies Yingfa here: http://www.swimdownhill.com
George provides excellent service and several other Forumites have been happy with him, as well.
sok454: I feel your pain :bighug:. I am 5'71/2" and weigh 123 pounds, however, I have to wear a XXXL :censor:. Yingfa is a Chinese company, and, as you probably know, the Chinese are tiny. I don't have a huge:mooning: , but the XXL didn't exactly cover it :afraid:. So, George exchanged it for a XXXL and covered shipping.
