Does anyone know of a source for jammer-style polyester mens suits? (Not Speedo-style, I can find those). Pool chlorine seems to destroy my nylon suits very quickly.
The source of Polyester suits is the Polyester… a small elusive aquatic mammal, usually spotted in and around chlorinated bodies of water.
To find swimwear make from the fur of these tiny creatures, checkout the sponsors links on the USMS web site. You may need to call one or more of them to find them in a jammer style.
Had the same problems and so did my 2 sons until we tried the Dolphin Chloroban jammer. Had 1 for 4 months now. I swim in a highly chlorinated pool and it hasn't shown the least bit of wear or discoloration. here's a link for them

Bearcat, there is also this suit

I know several people who wear the EQ suits and love them (no, I don't work for them :D)
I have also heard great things about Finis (www.finisinc.com ) polyester jammers…
You should be able to find them from Kast-A-Way Swimwear or Circle City Swimwear (both are USMS sponsors). Their web sites can be found at the USMS web site.
Finis also offers a 90 day guarantee on their suits.
As a result of Alison's post, I bought a couple of the EQ suits for training (a brief and a jammer), and love them both. No sagging and no color fading!
