just got an email about preordering LZR's
for shipment around 6/30
the price list (below) seems too pricey for me
I think it would be good to figure out the ideal
performance vs value point for fastskins
I might order an FSII jammer and legskin
but hopefully it will make the others drop:
LZR Racer Male
Pre-order * LZR Racer Jammer - $290.00
Pre-order * LZR Racer Legskin - $350.00
Pre-order * LZR Racer High Neck Bodyskin - $550.00
LZR Racer Female
Pre-order * LZR Racer Recordbreaker Kneeskin - $425.00
Pre-order * LZR Racer Recordbreaker Bodyskin - $475.00
Pre-order * Female LZR Racer High Neck Bodyskin - $550.00

improving their performance, rather than deciding what suit to wear.
I can see both sides. This is one sport which for the most part is not dominated by equipment - you have a suit and goggles and maybe a cap, and other than that you just swim. Compare that to cycling.
On the other hand if someone had already done the things you mentioned (training, nutrition, etc) then I can see where they'd want the advantage of a specialized suit to get any final performance improvement.
In my case, I'm so far from having optimized my training and nutrition that I don't see the point in spending a lot of money on a fancy suit.
Some people like to be fashionable too, don't forget that aspect!
