Back in the 70's suits were made of 100% nylon and lasted for ever! When I started swimming again I knew this old bod wasn't ready for a brief so I started wearing jammers. No matter what brand I buy they only seem to last a month and then start to stretch out, bag, and sag. I've since switched to an all nylon drag suit which is holding up, but I don't like the style.
does any manufacturer stil make their briefs and jammers out of nylon? Or is ther a manufacturer that makes a jammer that will last more than a couple of months?
I have tracked the miles in my FLOG for every suit I have worn since joining USMS seven years ago. Speedo Endurance+ and Tyr Durafast tie (+/- a few miles) for the longest lasting suits, and Agon was the worst. For the price (if you get them on sale at http://www.swimoutlet.com) Sporti's aren't bad. They don't last as long, but they're a lot cheaper, too.
