Speedo Mens Fastskin LZR Pure Valor 2 Jammer - Black

Yes. The Speedo Fastskin LZR Pure Valor 2 Jammer is fully approved by World Aquatics (WA) and is legal for use in all sanctioned competitive swimming events, including club, county, national, and international competitions. Always check with your event organiser for any additional local or federation rules.

Both suits are part of the Speedo Fastskin LZR range and share the same sizing. The LZR Pure Intent 2 is Speedo's flagship suit featuring maximum compression designed for elite sprint competition. The LZR Pure Valor 2 offers moderate compression and a more flexible construction, making it better suited to distance swimmers, multi-eventers, and those competing across multiple races in a session.

We recommend selecting your size based on your body measurements using the sizing table above — using your hip measurement as the primary guide. If you fall between two sizes, many competitive swimmers choose to size down for maximum compression and hydrodynamic benefit. If this is your first Fastskin suit, sizing to your measurements is the safest starting point. Speak to a member of staff at Allens if you are unsure.

Always use the plastic donning gloves provided in the box — fingernails and rings can permanently damage the Lamoral® water-repellent coating. Step into the jammer and work the fabric up gradually in small increments from ankles to hips. Do not tug sharply or pull from the waistband. The suit should be completely smooth and wrinkle-free when correctly positioned. Allow 15–20 minutes for a first fitting.

You need to measure two points: your hip and your waist. For your hip (A), measure around the fullest and widest part of your hips with a soft tape, keeping it horizontal. For your waist (B), measure 6cm below the narrowest part of your natural waist. Compare both to the sizing table above. If the two measurements suggest different sizes, use the hip measurement as the deciding factor. All measurements in the table are body measurements, not garment measurements.

Speedo Fastskin jammers are sized by body measurements, not standard clothing sizes. Always use the hip and waist measurements in the table above rather than your usual trouser or swimwear size. The suit will feel considerably tighter than a training swimsuit — this is normal and is a deliberate part of the suit's performance design.

No. The Speedo Fastskin LZR Pure Valor 2 is a competition-only racing suit. Using it for regular training will significantly shorten the lifespan of the suit and degrade the Lamoral® water-repellent coating. The Pure Valor 2 should be reserved exclusively for races and competition warm-ups. Speedo offer a separate range of endurance training jammers for regular pool use.

The LZR Pure Valor 2 features Lamoral® Space Tech coating that offers 6x more lasting water repellency than previous Valor models. To maximise longevity, rinse thoroughly in cold fresh water after every use, store flat and dry away from direct sunlight, and always use donning gloves. Do not tumble dry, iron, or dry-clean. Reserve the suit exclusively for competition use.

The Pure Valor 2 is designed for distance and multi-event competitive swimmers. Its moderate compression and flexible LZR construction make it particularly well-suited to events from 200m upwards in freestyle, backstroke, butterfly, and individual medley, where a full range of hip and leg movement is essential. Sprint specialists may prefer the higher compression of the LZR Pure Intent 2.

No. The Pure Valor 2 Jammer is designed specifically for pool competition. It offers no thermal insulation and is not designed for sea or salt water environments, which can accelerate degradation of the fabric and Lamoral® coating. For open water competition, a World Aquatics approved open water racing suit or wetsuit is recommended.
