I found out about SuitWars.com through the GoSwim.tv newsletter. This site is pretty minimalist on blog clutter (as you can tell I love throwing around pictures and messing with photoshop) but I guess I can respect a difference in taste. The content is definitely there, and easy to navigate.

SuitWars.com describes their site:

“Currently, there is no unbiased, clear measure of which suits are taking leaps ahead and which drag slowly behind. We aim to develop a comprehensive database of reviewed suits, allowing for leveled comparison.” (source)

This approach, similar to the blog SwimTechGeek that was launched last month, is a novel idea considering the amount of controversy surrounding technical suits for over a year now. It seems that anyone with a voice in the online swimming community has something to say about speedsuits, air trapping, FINA, fabric permeability, etc–so it’s nice to find all the tech talk information in one place.

SuitWars is anything but humble in their mission to provide cold hard facts about suit technology. In a recent Twitter update they compared SwimNews.com to tech suit opinion column. However, there are opinions to be found on SuitWars.com that have been restricted to the Commentary section.
