Chris,
Do you give any superiority in performance to the Jaked vs. the LZR?
Nothing......... or pehaps 1 tenth per 100.... 2 tenths per 100 advantage?
John, I really have no idea. I guess one way to tackle the question would be to look at data the way that Kirk did earlier but for a much larger sample size, and to break it down by stroke/distance (since it looks like those factors seem to affect the suits' enhancement).
But is the Jaked really going to be with us in its present form for much longer? I'm not sure it is worth the trouble to find out how much they help.
I guess I wish they (FINA, USS) would invest a little effort into investigating the effect of (a) fabric and (b) coverage of the suits, since they are talking so much about regulating both of those things. For example, if they find out that permeability makes no difference (eg it is all about compression), then let the suit manufacturers use what they want, as long as it isn't too buoyant.
