Jammer-Kneeskin-Bodyskin - what's best?

Back in the day it was just a plain brief papersuit for races. Now that I started swimming again there is a whole new breed of racing suits. I will be swimming ***, Back, Free and IM. I've heard the above mentioned suits are not good for *** stroke because they inhibit the kick. I have 2 questions..... 1) What are your experiences with Jammer-Kneeskin-Bodyskin suits and what strokes go well with what suit? 2) Are racing briefs long gone? Thanks for your input.

  • Originally posted by Allen Stark I have Fastskin and Fastskin 2 jammers. I can't tell much difference between them except the Fastskin is longer so I can pull it up over my gut. Since they are supposed to be better dry (and I don't like sitting around in a wet suit) I usually end up wearing both at meets. I swam 34.57 50 ***(SCM) in my Fastskin 2and 2 weeks later I swam 34.58 in my Fastskin so there is not much difference. between the 2 meets 2 weeks apart were you tapering or still doing the same workout? Looks like Fastskin and Fastskin 2 are about the same then?
