Should wearing a FastSkin suit give the same performance benefits of shaving whatever area the FastSkin covers?
Also, do people generally only wear them for "big meets" - like how swimmers would typically only shave for big meets? i.e. do college kids today wear them for all dual meets, or only for championships? Would you lose some of the benefit if you wore them too much?
Thanks for any info!

Hi Galen,
I agree. The quote was from the article by the way.
They say that some of the fastest swimmers wear the old school Speedos (or Jammers) ...in spite of the current trend to be fully dressed in a Superhero costume. Obviously the FastSkins have proven work at the elite level...but it seems that it's more of a fashion trend when they're worn by the masses in my humble opinion.
There are some folks better off bundled up....than letting it all hang out. On that note they should be strongly encouraged. Each purchase should include a cape that could double as one of those fancy wicking towels... and a utility belt for holding goggles and a cap. A good marketing incentive. :)
Until then, it's "Skin to Win".
