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 wonder what percentage of the tech suit consumer in the US are masters.
OT, anyone know of a suit model that fits on the long side?
From my experience based on the amount of bunched up fabric at the knee due to my stubby legs, the TYR Avictor and Adidas Adizero both had the longest legs of any of the tech suits I've worn. My torso is comparatively much longer than my legs, so while those suits had excess leg length on my particular body, I don't know if they'd really count as suits on the longer side, per se.

The A3s that I have are on the longer side, they're the only tech jammers I've worn that actually hit right above my knee. I'm 6'2", long legs.

TYR makes a high waist version for the Avictor. Helps when you have a longer torso or need to contain your thunder in the rear.
I’ve only seen you on tv, would be too difficult to make a comment riding on $400.
I currently have both low and high-waist styles of the TYR AP12. when I wear the high-waisted jammer my love handle, I look like steve urkel. Most importantly, I swim the 50 fr as such, slower than in the low-waist variety of same suit model.
