Any tricks to make sure you get the right size (for the jammer)?
I just ordered what I usual do. I wear two different sizes depending on the material but this is tight fitting so I went with the bigger one.
It only goes up to 34 though which is what size my other two jammers are (both Polyester which stretches less then lyrca and other materials).

Thanks for the input...just found out they don't ship to Canada though:badday: Ah well, we never get the good deals our way :D
Sorry if this is a dumb question (still a newb) but how much buoyancy support do the jammers give? I'm still working on my basic freestyle technique, so I imagine these may be a bad idea?
I would argue that swimming in a tech jammer would better your technique.
2 links that may help...

These are made to run tight!
i read the size chart and ordered a 30 in the hydrospeed, because it said wear what size u practice in. i just got it, and to me it is a little big. took 5 minutes to get into.
is that how it should be?
they told me to try it in the water, but i have a feeling i should have ordered the 28. the 30 seems big in the hip'/area but ok in the top ( i am only pouring half way out. lol
i wear a 28 in a tank and knee skin for speedo and tyr so i was unsure.
Sized down one size (I wear a 32, ordered a full body amphibian 30) and it took me 20+ mins to get in. Finis says that's normal. Just ordered a 32 to compare and will return one. Will post results here.
I wear a 34 in the Speedo Endurance Jammer and ordered a 34 in the Amphibian jammer.
Got to it today and it fits pretty good. I could have went a size lower but I don't race or anything so it's comfortable. The material is wind-breakerish which caught me by surprise. One thing I did notice was the string on the top is very long so I cut it and feels good. Just have to try it in the water now.
