Jammers are ingrown hair makers Not only should they not sell Speedos in anything bigger than size 34, they should also sell triple-lined models. I don't need to see the details down there Why would someone want to do all their training miles in a comfy pair of gel shorts, then switch to a minimalist pad for a race?
Seems like the bike is one place when less is not always better. I make the switch to tri shorts several weeks out to get used to them. Haven't got the wrist GPS yet, although I do have a satellite dish mounted behind my saddle.
Keeps me from carrying too much water and looking like a geek Post 20 of 67 views. What are "jammers"? I have never heard of such things. Fleck Steve Fleck stevefleck Blog.

If I decided to race masters, I would probably wear the same type of suit just to make 40 something guys wearing tiny lycra suits and shaving down for something as meaningless as a masters' meet look even more foolish than they have already made themselves.
Even when I swam competitively, I usually wore at least two nylon suits in practice. For that matter, I wore at least two nylon suits for most of my college dual meets.

I'd know they were done because I'd get out of the pool and they'd be drooping down well past my knees. I tried everything to help them last longer, but it didn't seem to matter.
I bought a pair of the speedo poly mesh trainers 2 years ago and they are still going strong. They are like a regular speedo banana hammock, only they're made out of the nylon mesh used for most gym shorts. I think they are considered a drag suit, but it doesn't seem to drag too much. They are indestructible I take a size 36, so I guess I exceed a few people's threshold for the maximum size of a speedo.
However, I have no gut to speak of, so it's not like there's cellulite dripping over the edges of me speedo. Post 24 of 67 views. I swim with a USA Club Swim Team and I will agree that the best swimmers don't wear jammers, they actually wear square cut drag suits I will go ahead and call this a speedo.

Speedos are gay" "Speedos are not gay all the fast swimmers practice with Speedos, just look at names off the best older swimmers on the team. Post 25 of 67 views. You could not be more wrong about suits and whether they make a difference in the outcome of races.
There is a reason why in the olympics you see Thorpe wearing a full bodysuit or Phelps with what looks like leggings. I'm willing to bet that the time difference will be between seconds.

They are more likely to be worn for competitive swimming than trunks, as they are close-fitting and have minimal fabric.
Jammers are knee-length swim shorts that provide more coverage than trunks, but have more freedom of movement due to their stretchy material. They closely resemble lycra cycling shorts, and are popular amongst competitive swimmers for both training and racing. Usually made of nylon and lycra, or spandex material, their form-fitting design helps to reduce drag within the water. New Thread. View profile. Add to friends. Go to training log. Go to race log.
