Right now current suit rules dictate, that
Men wear must wear jammers or briefs in meets &
Women can race in zipperless kneeskins
Guys, what if men were allowed to race in zipperless kneeskins?
I for one think more coverage would allow me to swim faster.
What if masters men were given the choice?
What would you choose?

Thanks for the link Coach. This study (given the small sample size) appears to confirm Ande's intuition.
Didn't this group assist in the development of a TYR suit (arm bands)?
pdjang - Your welcome, and Ande's intuition is correct. This was the original study that confirmed more coverage (upper body) reduced drag. These were textile suits so no other properties like buoyancy etc. affected the results.
From there, we then moved on to developing the drag reducing technology used for the TYR Aquashift swimsuit that also included a swim cap and the arm bands.
