TYRMen's Durafast Elite Solid Jammer Swimsuit

I've been a loyal Tyr Durafast user for a few years, and decided to try the Elite when they went on sale for less than the standard Durafast. The fit was exactly the same for me as the regular Durafast: a perfect 34 for a medium-framed guy who wears 34 pants. The big difference is the full dual-layer construction on the Elite vs a crotch liner on the standard. The Elite seem to have a little bit more compression and take quite a bit longer to dry, as you'd expect. They may last just a bit longer than the standard, but the jury is still out on that. I usually get 7-8 months use at 6-8 hrs per week out of a standard Durafast suit before I start get some seam stitch breakage, and I'm at about 6 months with the Elite and the stitching has faded like usual, but is still in great shape. Overall, I personally prefer the standard Durafast because the crotch liner works better for me fit-wise (holds everything in place better) and I prefer the quicker drying time and lighter feel of a single layer suit. Still a great, durable suit that I'm sure will appeal more to some people.

Great product as described

Good fit but they are thicker than the Speedos that i usually wear. I swim four days a week and the Speedos last me about 8 months. I’ll see how long these last.

Comfortable and tough. Love 'em.

Swimming 3 times a week.Coming for the Speedo Endurance+ which I've had for several years, the new version (Speedo) I got felt different and of lesser quality then before, I might of got a faulty model. Replaced by the TYR Durafast material is better in every way, better stitching, thicker and more durable. it does takes longer to dry though. I would purchase again when it will wear out.

I can feel myself swimming faster!

Color faded from black to gray in a couple of months while only using hand soap and cool wate to washr. Fit is excellent.

I’m in between 34 and 36 waist pants. Bought 36 and they fit well. Probably could have gone 34 if I wanted a tighter fit but I like the appearance of 36 and not having my junk shrink wrapped. After only a couple weeks the fabric is holding up well in chlorinated pool at the local YMCA.
