The use of jammers for racing since the demise of those full body suits speedo and other companies developed has left me a bit puzzled. I occassionally see national and local swim events, and during warm ups and cool downs pretty much all the guys are in speedos. The variety of styles and colours is amazing to see these days. But come the events they all put on jammers, clearly not any special fabric, so there's more drag with the consequence of slightly reduced speed. Is this the "herd" mentality, or is there something else going on here?
