  • Hineck fastskin type suits pretty much remove the shave factor from the equation, there's still rest / tapering and psych. (some meets matter more than others) I'm not sure how much better one generation of suits is over the others I wish I had jammers, legskins and hinecks of the: 1) Fastskin 2) Fastskin II 3) Fastskin pro and 4) LZR to experiement and figure which works best you'd think speedo or nike would do a study with a group of swimmers then publish the results, unless . . . Sorry T.J but I totally disagree...suit technology plays a significant pat in how fast we are seeing people race "in season" and my guess is that it probably has more of an effect than 9/100ths. The bigger question to me is the one JS posed, not how much of a differance the latest Fastskin technology has vs. the first or second generation but rather vs. the old school bikini days (which Mr. Commings still embraces!). By the way speaking of suits....as of the end of December Arena USA shuttered its operations here in the US...not sure where that leaves those of us who use their suits!
