UPDATE: According to the telegraaf.nl "...Marleen Veldhuis zwemt records in het snelle pak van Jaked. ..." In other words, Marleen is wearing a Jaked! If you go the telegraaf.nl and click on the image, you can see a larger image of the suit: [Link]Is this suit a Jaked! I see no logo so I think it is. Can someone please confirm? Here is a direct link tot he that featured the image, EdeStad.nl: [Link]

now that is a speedsuit! It looks like it is from the future. I want my next suit to be at least partially metallic so I can pretend I'm a terminator as opposed to the all black ninja in a tank top look I've got going on with my Tracer Light.
Yep it is a Jaked. The swimmers were all wearing a Jaked when they broke the records (world and national) last weekend. Wearing the suits has started a discussion between the dutch swimming leauge and the head sponsor Speedo.
I would wait for the Euro to go down a bit sinc it takes $1.29 to but a Single Euro. With the suit costing 372 Euros, that is something like $480.
There still is the b70.
Apparently, there was some interesting news from the breaststroke event. Stekelenburg was not allowed to wear the Jaked during the actually competition or something, so he time trialed the men's 100 breast in Jaked. Went 59.50 to crush the national record.
Later in the evening, in a LZR, he went 1:01 to finish second in the event.
Pretty big difference in just a few hours - although time trial was in clean water.
she broke her 50free record in a lzr suit and the 50 fly in a jaked
Because the Dutch Swimming Union has a contract with Speedo, swimmers are not allowed to wear other brands visibly. That's why they 'removed' the name JAKED of the suit, so they can still wear it in natipnal events. One of my swimming friends is a member of the Dutch national team and told me this...
That is very exciting. It makes me wonder though if these suit contractors like Speedo and Arena are driving the FINA suit review so as to push the smaller vendors out of the market?
