I kno this has been asked time and time again but im not sure which type of fast skin to get..Well i kno the type b/c im gonna a Fs2 from swimoutlet.com. my friend just bought the fs2 legskin since he pretty much only does fly and free. i on the other hand prefer my breaststroke over my fly. I have heard the jammer is good for distance breastsroke only or i have heard people on my swim team say legskin isnt good for breaststroke because it may rip. Well after watching the trials im pretty sure the legskin could hold on for whip kicks but I'd breaststroke people who kno what it feels like and what i should Get thanks in advanced.
P.S- Fs2 jammer vs Fs-Pro jammer(any BIG Difference?)

I've used Fastskin I jammers, TYR Fusion legskins, and most recently a FS Pro hi-neck that I was too lazy to change out of after a free event (actually, I thought it would be a good experiment to try it for breaststroke) in a swim-through LCM meet. I haven't done a 200 since getting the tech suits, so 50s and 100s only, both short and long course.
I prefer the jammers, and swam my best times in them. I thought I lost feel for the water with the legskins, and I felt like they made my legs float too high, resulting in a kick or two out of the water. The FS Pro was too restrictive in the upper body, plus had the drawbacks of the legskins.
Disclaimer: I'm not very fast and am still working on changing technique. The reduced drag of the legskins and Pro may be of more benefit to faster swimmers or in the 200.
