Jammers Vs Swim Trunks

Take note that while briefs and races are sometimes colloquially called speedos speedo is a brand that makes a full run of swimsuit styles.

Jammers vs swim trunks.

Jammers are knee length skintight suits used by competitive swimmers and other water sports athletes to reduce drag. What happened to the briefs better known as the speedo suit for men. I also wear them in the triathlon races too. A longer version of briefs these suits hit mid thigh.

They resemble bike shorts but without the padded crotch and seat. I ve noticed that most triathletes in the pool wear the jammer swim trunks or worse the baggy jammers. College age athletes still wear the classic smaller swim briefs but kids starting out might be hesitant to work out with so little coverage. The leg openings are cut straight across for a boxy look that is slightly less revealing than angled swim briefs.

Okay i sometimes wear the drag shorts on days to give myself an good workout but mostly briefs all the way. The fitness swimmer s versions of jammers are not as tight and sheer as competitive ones and the suits cover until just above the knees. Square cut shorts are a body hugging style that covers the wearer from the waist to the upper thigh.
