When I started, the most advanced suit was he nylon brief. Clearly the "shiny suits" were faster, but they covered your whole body. Jammers cover such a smaller area I have to wonder how much difference the top of the line ones make vs more affordable. Has anyone done testing or any objective measure? Shaving down makes about 1 second/100 difference for me and every .01 sec can be important, but is there even .01 sec difference between good jammers and top of the line?
I normally have 3-4 jammers in my practice rotation. I buy at least one new suit every year just for meets and then throw it into the rotation after it starts to stretch out.
I'm not at a level where I can justify a tech suit (let alone having to explain it to my wife), but putting on relatively new, snug suit for meets certainly gives me a psychological lift if nothing else.
