TYR Men's Durafast Elite Solid Jammer Swimsuit - Durable Chlorine

Our review of the TYR Men's Durafast Elite Solid Jammer finds it best suited for swimmers who need a reliable, long-lasting training suit. Built from TYR's Durafast Elite textile, the jammer prioritizes durability and color retention without sacrificing comfort, making it a practical pick for daily lap work and season-long practice. The single biggest reason to buy is its combination of a compressive, above-the-knee fit and a chlorine-proof fabric that promises 300+ hours of use while still feeling comfortable on the body.

Key Features

• Durafast Elite textile: High denier poly fiber and circular knit construction deliver durability and colorfast performance for extended use in chlorinated pools.
• Compressive fit: The jammer offers a snug, supportive hold that helps reduce drag while allowing a full range of motion for strokes and turns.
• Above-the-knee coverage: The jam length provides dependable coverage that stays in place during training and sprint work.
• Adjustable drawcord waist: The internal drawcord helps secure fit at the waist so the suit stays comfortable through long sessions.
• Lined construction: Full lining adds modesty and long lasting freshness without compromising support.
• Chlorine proof and colorfast: Fabric sustains heavy pool use and resists fading across hundreds of hours.

Who It's For

The TYR Durafast Elite Jammer is ideal for competitive swimmers, triathletes, and regular lap swimmers who need a training suit that withstands frequent chlorine exposure. Its compressive fit and modest coverage appeal to athletes who want durability and consistent performance rather than race-only hydrodynamics.

Swimmers who prefer maximal compression or sleek race suits for tapered meets may look elsewhere; this jammer is designed for long-term training durability and comfort rather than being a time-trial racing shell.
