[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]for purposes of this thread and banning tech suits for dual meets, is a Speedo Aquablade Recordbreaker a tech suit?[/quote]

Okay - looking into actually doing this, here's what I've come up with:

Definition of a “Tech Suit” for NVSL Use
A tech suit is a high-performance competition swimsuit that is designed with advanced fabric technology and compression features to enhance speed, reduce drag, and improve muscle efficiency. These suits are typically intended for championship-level racing and are often cost-prohibitive and less durable than traditional practice or standard racing suits.

A suit will be considered a “tech suit” if it meets any of the following:
Is marketed or labeled as a technical racing suit, tech suit, or elite competition suit
Contains bonded seams (no stitching) or ultrasonic welded seams
Is constructed with hydrophobic fabric engineered for minimal water absorption
Offers compression panels or zones for muscle containment or oxygen efficiency
Is approved for use by FINA (look for FINA logo on the back)

Examples of Tech Suits:
Arena Carbon Air/Ultra/Glide/Prime
Speedo LZR Pure Intent or Valor
TYR Avictor or Venzo
Mizuno GX-Sonic IV
Jaked Jkeel or Jkomp
