i'm one of the only guys on my team that foen't wear a drag suit. do drag suits make that big a difference?
if so is there a drag suit that has VERY LITTLE DRAG that i can wear to get use to at first? (eventually i'd buy one with more drag)

I also think there is a "style" component to wearing these suits which speaks more to swimming culture than to well thought out training protocol.

Hellz yeah! The mesh training suit makes my hairy gut look a lot smaller! No more size 28 arena racers with 1" sides and a seam down the back. I wear a suit that screams, "I'm older than your Dad, and slow, but my best from back in the day would still kick your butt today!"
I don't miss putting on the near frozen tank tops and gym shorts (and tennies, yes) we wore in the '70s, at 0445 in January. Still, the pocket drag suits could carry 8 cans of beer IIIRC.
