REVIEW: Dolfin Jammer

If I can visualize myself as a swimmer, I will get better. My first step was buying swim gear. I started with this Dofin Jammer and have used it 4 lap sessions now, hence the review!  This is my first experience with jammer type swim wear.

I went for the jammer because of the longer leg. I felt less naked compared to a swim brief.  The material is lycra/polyester blend; and is fairly tight and form fitting.  Unfortunately, the crotch has enough extra fabric to get saggy during the "leaving of the pool"moment and can be very topographical - so not very modest after all.  Someone suggested wearing a swim brief under neath. To me this defeats the purpose.
 
The leg grips are not noticeable and stay in place.  A drawstring keeps accidents from happening. The jammer sheds water and dries within minutes.

While it does lack "support" I did not notice any "movement" and I do breast stroke and freestyle. A higher end jammer would have more panels for support.  Those were out of my budget.

The jammer is also versatile as quasi compression shorts. I have also jogged 10 miles in them (3x3mile sessions) with a jock strap underneath,  and finished a 10 mile bike ride. If I was doing brick workouts I would splurge on padded tri shorts with at least a crotch panel.  However the high end materials get thinned out faster by chlorine. I guess their are always trade offs.
