I don't want to get into the tech suit debate because I really just want to wear a traditional suit and compete. I dont have a moral stand on the issue, I just grew up in normal suits and that is what I am comfortable in.
My question is wether there are any high-level swimmers that dont wear tech suits, but still setting records and winning events? I am curious both about Masters meets, but also USA Swimming and international swim meets.

To me the most underrated suit is the aquablade.
I agree with lefty on this one. I have owned and used the Victor, Aquablade, Fastskin I, Fastskin II and Blue Seventy Nero Comp. I swim just as fast in the Aquablade as with the others. All are about comparable to full-body shaving which I won't do anymore because of the discomfort during the re-growth period. The main reason I use full body suits now is that the knee length suits severely constrict my thigh muscles. Too many years of playing defense in association football, I guess. I suppose I could have thigh-muscle-reduction surgery.
