I am looking at TYR's Aquablade with the "tripwires" that create drag to remove different kinds of drags. Fastskin II's which strategically place dimples to redirect eddies and flow, Arena's Powerskin with the light and slippery, water-resistant, superhero fabric and one or two other brands.
The statistics stating that the most gold medal winners wore Speedo fastskins doesn't hold water. (get it? Pun intended.) If Speedo paid Phelps 100 million dollars to wear a dead cow around his neck and swim, he would have. And if they paid him 100 million more he would have won too.
USMS has an article saying speedsuits are primarily psychological.
Are any of you satisfied with your speedsuits? Have you tried several brands? What's your take?
Right now I have been very happy with TYR's quality over that off Speedo. I am wearing a TYR fusion and it feels fast and is extremely durable. now wear TYR suits but Speedo gogles

The way I look at it, my golfing friends pour thousands of dollars into a "sport" they play only on weekends. Since many of us train five or six days/week, year after year, a $300 FSII is not that extravagant.
Besides, this gives you an excuse when I kick your butt.
Craig,
My friend's sons told me that they had purchased a pair of pants for me. Instead, it was a speedo brief and a framed picture of this guy. I don't know where they got the picture. I kept asking ifthe pants were golfing pants so that I woudl have something unique to wear when we went golfing this summer ( both have just now gotten into golfing). I told them that I wanteda pair of lime green and yellow plaid pants like many used to have in the 70s.
