New Race Suit!

Posted by Kevin Doak on Saturday at: 8:30pm (October 11th, 2008)
I got a chance to pick up a new race suit today! I got a FS-Pro Jammer. It looks almost identical to my previous race suits but its made out of a different fabric and its all black. It was $178.00... Ouch. Better than a LZR at $550.00 though! A new suit is great for psychological confidence if nothing else.

I'll reference this next part for myself someday since I always remove the tags:

General Race Suit sizing for men is one size smaller than your pant waist size. I'm a 32 waist in pants so I buy size 30 race suits. I've gone as low as a 28 in college but I found it cut off circulation above my knees in the "Jammer" style. The Jammer style looks sort of like long bike shorts. They go from the hips to just above the knee. I prefer them over other styles.

I bought my suit from Different Strokes Swim Shop in Livonia, MI. Their staff is knowledgeable and friendly. They have fair prices but I get stuck paying the full retail instead of the discounted team prices. Boo. It makes me want to start a team of my own for this and other reasons!

That's about it. Meet in the morning!
