hey guys,
I'm seriously thinking about getting and trying the FS II Legskins

I've currently use the hineck but I've noticed many fast swimmers wear legskins in fly and back
I also have fastskin jammers in my swim bag
to throw on for fast swims in practice

(it seems to make a difference versus my training suit)
What's your opinion about which works best?
briefs, jammers, legskin, kneeskin or the hineck?
Why?
Ande
hineck racing suits can make a
half second to on second difference per 100
Ande,
I'm curious: where did you get this range of numbers? And what factors determine if it is "more for some people?"
I would assume (but may be wrong) that if hineck's make this kind of difference, the range would be hineck > kneeskin > legskin > jammers. (I'm also curious if the effect scales linearly with distance or not. Science-geek musings, I guess.)
I have a friend -- Ryan Bradley, a very fast and fit masters swimmer -- who used FS jammers in the morning trials of a meet and (borrowed) FS legskins in the evening finals. He said he did not feel any difference between the two. Some of his times improved from the morning, some did not.
