People still trust Jaked after the ripped suit accident? :rolleyes:
(How to even pronounce the subject of this thread: "Never saw so many Jaked's "?)
Jaked isn't the first suit to rip at meets. The LZR, B70, etc. all rip.
And all of this on a Master's forum, speculating about a subject that doesn't even affect us. Glad you all can be so concerned about the kids. Or maybe some of you have substantial wagers placed on Worlds?
I wonder what the plural of doofus is?
Got a Jaked just waiting for a fast swim ...
I was going to try it a last weekend - did not try it on before and there was NO WAY to get it on within a reasonable time the first time around...
Tried it on at home - it took a solid 20 minutes and lots of cursing and sweat :afraid: it's tougher than any of the other suits -- but once I had it on it feels more comfortable than my Blue 70.
Was going to wear it yesterday to make a run at the 200 Back record, but then I jammed my finger in the 400 Free before + I missed Baker's record by 1/2 a second ... maybe it's the Jinxed for me and not the Jaked :banana:
I thought you were the guy who wanted tech suits banned. Am I mistaken or did you change your mind?
Many people who want them banned still wear them ....
The problem I see even now is exactly what is showing in this Jaked thread and others, nobody knows what to attribute any fast times to ??? Suits, getting faster, maybe a little bit of both, maybe a little doping ????
We got a bunch of relay records we are going after this year - so anything for the relay ... for me, I will wear what I wore last year at all the rested meets - just to get a fair comparison for myself.
Thanks for posting your results, Erik. Too bad you didn't shave -- it is in the name of science, right? :) What is your typical drop in a 50 when you do? I realize this may be hard to answer, since shaving usually coincides with tapering... Also, are the suits roughly the same age/equally used? I am struck by the difference in time it took you to put on the Jaked compared to Mike.
In two weekends I will be doing a half-rested, shaved meet in a trials/final format. No Jaked but I'll be comparing two suits, I just haven't decided which ones: Tracer Light vs B70 leggings (ie, testing permeable vs impermeable), or B70 legs vs B70 knee-skin (ie, testing effect of coverage).
