Polyester suits

I am considering buying a poly suit for durability. It is my understanding that poly is thicker than nylon/lycra therefore creating more drag. In the jammer style suit would there be enough additional drag that I should consider poly briefs and stay away from poly jammers? Is the additional drag insignificant and I should not worry about it?

    If there is a swimmer out there (besides an elite/ex-elite) who can feel the drag of a poly then they should have started swimming earlier so that they could swim the Olympics. lol. The main thing is because of poly being a bit harder then lycra you may experience some chaffing. ouch. Cheers Dave
