TYR Men's Durafast Elite Jammer Swimsuit - Durable Performance Fit

In this review of the TYR Men's Durafast Elite Jammer Swimsuit the bottom line is simple: this is a training-focused jammer for swimmers who want long-lasting color and a compressive, championship cut. The reviewer found the suit best for regular pool workouts and lap training because the Durafast Elite fabric resists chlorine and keeps its shape through heavy use, while the drawstring waist and compressive fit deliver reliable coverage without restricting stroke mechanics.

Key Features

• Premium durability: Durafast Elite fabric combines high denier polyester and spandex to hold color and resist chlorine for 300+ hours of use.
• Streamlined cut: A championship jammer silhouette sits just above the knee to provide coverage and an unobstructed range of motion for turns and kicks.
• Secure fit: Compressive fabric plus an adjustable drawstring waist keeps the suit in place during starts, dives and flip turns.
• Sun and comfort protection: UPF 50+ fabric and a full lining add sun protection and a fresh feel for long training sessions.
• Bold looks: Available in vivid patterns and colors that resist fading so the suit maintains its aesthetic through repeated chlorine exposure.

Who It's For

This jammer is aimed at competitive swimmers, triathletes and regular pool-goers who put many hours in the water and need a suit that stays strong over time. The compressive, above-the-knee cut suits athletes who want modest coverage with performance-oriented freedom of movement.

Swimmers who prefer extremely minimal racing suits or looser recreational trunks should look elsewhere; the Durafast Elite fabric is compressive and may feel snug to those used to very thin race skins or casual boardshorts.

• Compressive, championship cut provides a secure, performance-oriented fit.
• Full lining and UPF 50+ offer comfort and sun protection during outdoor sessions.
