Yingfa Sharkskin vs. Speedo Fastskin

I've never raced in a technical racing suit before, but would like to give it a try. I see that Yingfa Sharkskin leggings are significantly cheaper than American made technical suits (Speedo, Tyr). Has anyone raced in Yingfa Sharkskin? Will you please provide feedback? I don't expect them to be quite as good as the more expensive suits, but also don't want to regret trading my old lycra brief for Yingfa leggings. For example, I wouldn't race in standard jammers, because they are just longer versions of the same old water logged lycra briefs. Thanks!

    To Craig, My name is David McCabe and I operate Yingfa in Australia.My swimming credentials are that I was a New South Wales(NSW) State Champion, Australian Age and Open Finalist in the 200m butterfly and in the Surf , I was NSW Junior Belt champion, Australian Junior Belt finalist and a member of a Surf Team which achieved a silver Australian medal.After I finished swimming I obtained a Bachelor of Commerce Degree and then obtained a Law degree and I now coach 30 children in my backyard heated pool, run a legal practice and also now sell YingFa swimming products. Yingfa provides the latest technology in swimwear, in a range of styles and colours which combine quality with affordability. When the Full suit first came around Brian Sutton ,an Australian Swim Coach was against the idea because it created two classes of swimmers, those athletes whom received sponsored suits and those who could not afford the $600-00 price tag. Brian was of the opinion the sponsored swimmers had an unfair advantage. The Us swim director Dennis Pursley said, "I don't think the issue is when the Australians get the suits -the question in my mind is when the other athletes around the world will have access to those suits". Well that time has arrived and now YingFa can sell a swim suit, at an affordable price, sure it does not have the expensive technological innovations such as the knitted fabric with a tooth shaped surface or the dimpled finish fabric, yet the YingFa suit provides muscle compression , which reduces muscle vibration and this in turn improves performance and reduces fatigue. There are now many brands producing similiar costumes such as eyeline,Rival,sugoi,velomax race suits,nike,The finals,Aqua shift,arena,Tyr,Maru,Diana,addidas and many more. I trust that clarifies some of the misunderstandings about this issue. David McCabe This is from the US Craig. Your story is very different than the one I heard about your company. I'm glad you enterred this post. As I wrote above, I have a pair and they seem to fit exactly like speedos. I think they are very equivalent. Where are your suits made? Also, while we are on the subject of Australia. there are several great postals throughout our summer time that are a lot of funj. I've done (forgive if this is mispelt) The Baddagginnie Animal. It has great t-shirts. How many people here inthe states have an Australian swim event t-shirt? Craig J.
