Lets Talk Tech Suits
Kyle Dobbs of All American Swim Supply writes about Tech Suits on the USMS web site.
"What is the best suit?"
In order to answer this question, you first have to look at three main differences in the suits. What kind of fabric is the suit made of, what kind of seams does it have, and what does this do for me?
Kyle Dobbs does that on the USMS web site, clearing up what the advantages and disadvantages are of the new suits that competitive swimmers are wearing.
