I wear jammers. Briefs carry too much negative stigma for me to want to wear them. For about a month, a lane mate and I wore board shorts for drag, but the experience did not convince me that drag suits are all that beneficial. The principal effect of a drag suit seems to me to be that it slows you down (forcing you to work harder to keep up your non-drag suited pace). If I was so fast that I thought the intervals we swim at were too slow, then I could see the point of wearing a drag suit (we have a guy like that). That's not my problem, though. The intervals are perfectly hard enough as is.
