Speedo Men's Swimsuit Brief Powerflex Eco Solid Adult

Excellent

This is a great swimsuit. It is well built and is not thin material. BUT go up 2-3 sizes from what you think you need. Speedo builds their suits for true swimmers who do it everyday, and I am sure they need them to be tight. But for the average swimmer like me, they fit a little tight. I am a 33ish waist, the size 36 fits a little tight on me, not so tight where I can't wear them, but tight enough where I don't even use the drawstring. I kind of like it like that. Hope this helps!

I have a stocky build. I've been wearing Speedos through the late 60's early 70's for racing and then later in the 70's playing water polo in university. Along the way Speedos instead of beach trunks were normal pool wear while lifeguarding. I still swim to keep my cardio up for other athletic activies and maintain mobility, and I'm still picky about swim suits intended to be primarily worn in the water swimming laps. I can't quite find a suit withthe fit of those suits back in the day any longer, but the cut of this suit will do. It is a bit more skin tight/compression than I prefer, but it will work for me at least. While it doesn't say it in the description (it should) this Speedo has a 3" wide side panel. I am normally a 36"/37" belt size in casual pants. I had to upsize to size 40 for this suit to fit comfortably, and it is still a bit too tight in the legs. I don't think you would need to have a stocky build to need to upsize above your normal pants size. If you have above average quads and glutes, whatever your build or belt size, you may also need to go up a size to avoid finding the legs are too tight. If how your pool suit looks when out of the water is important to you, this emerald blue is nice. I have no idea whether or not it is flattering from a fashion standpoint - I assume the primary purpose of buying a suit like this is to be in the pool swimming, not lounging on the deck. So far, next time I might look for something from Tyr or Arena, but I wouldn't mind buying this model of Speedo again. The reason I docked it one star is I don't think the sizing is true for North American men and it is just a little bit too tight through the legs and the body of the suit.

Update: Still going strong with these briefs, but I do want to state that I ended up with one size larger than what I purchased (36 from 34). To tell the truth I did not heed my own advice: I did not properly measure my waist size before buying the smaller size. The difference with sizing up is having more coverage to your hips and groin. Compared to other briefs, I find this brand and model to be the most comfortable. It's snug and soft while the lining is the least abrasive. I prefer open water swimming and would bring these every time no matter the location. You still need to apply Vaseline or something similar for longer ocean swims because of the properties of salt water. Take the size chart seriously. Measure your waist and buy accordingly. It will feel tight but as the directions state, go into the water a couple times and it will stretch out to the appropriate fit. Side note: I bought these at my local sports store several years ago. Same 78% Eco Recycled Nylon and 22% Xtra Life Spandex marketing, but it was made in Vietnam instead of Sri Lanka. No discernable differences.

Speedo has always made a good product. The sizing chart, however, is for race suits, which are much tighter than a workout suit. I normally wear a 32 pant which means a 30 suit size. But this was far too tight on me for workouts. Again, would be great for a race suit you wear for just a few minutes, but not hours for a workout.

Great quality but sizing is out. I’m 33 waist on a bad day but I couldn’t get these swim trunks over my thighs and I always avoid leg day on my workout

I swim rivers, and lakes, Speedo swim trunks are the most comfortable swim ware, and the best quality. I may not wear them at a public or hotel swimming pool because some people may get offended. but I live in a dessert community with a lake and a river, so I have the opportunity were what I want. I love speedo trunks. but one down side, the draw cord on the new speedo trunks are too short, I prefer the old style long and white.

Speedo is a brand name we have used in our family for a long time, and I have never had a problem with purchasing the correct size Speedo until now. This product line on Amazon is not the same sizing, nor quality, that we have seen before. A size 32 measures at 27 inches in the waist. I have included pictures to show the difference between a store bought 32 Speedo compared to this 32 Speedo from Amazon. Picture 1 shows the new Speedo over the old Speedo for size comparison; Picture 2 shows the new "size 32" Speedo measures at 27 inches in the waist; Picture 3 shows the old size 32 Speedo measures at 32 inches in the waist. As soon as I removed the new Speedo from the packaging I could tell it was not the same sizing. Also, there is a noticeable downgrade in the softness and elasticity of the new material.

Sunga muito bonita e se adequa perfeitamente ao corpo. Caso você assim como eu pratique natação diariamente, essa é a melhor opção. Muito confortável.

I've been swimming for decades, beginning when I was a minor. Throughout most of those years, I've almost always bought and worn Speedo briefs or trunks. The same goes for goggles too. From time to time, I've tried other brands, too. But in the end I've always gone back to the Speedo brand. That's because they simply manufacturer the best swimming gear, in my opinion. There gear just tends to be made up to a higher standard. If I had one major criticism, it is that this particular line of swimwear isn't readily available to UK customers. I checked the UK Speedo website, and they only sell a limited selection. This I cannot understand. Anyway, I saw these here on Amazon UK being sold via Amazon US at around 50% the price of the other sizes. I went for size 'L' (Large) because that's the size I wear, but thankfully that also happened to be the one which was half the price of the other sizes. Having tested these fantastic briefs out yesterday in the pool, I wish I'd bought two pairs now. I'm glad I went for 'L' as any smaller size would've been too small. They look fantastic, a great aquadynamic tight fit, decent coverage on the leg for a brief (about 3-4" or approximately 9cm), and great coverage at the back. The all black colour looks fantastic and the fabric feels good as well. On an average swim I'll swim 2 miles continuous front crawl (excluding warm up and cool down), and these just felt great in the water. It's early days however on their durability. I prefer the fit, look, and feel of these over Speedos 'Endurance' line, but whether these last as long remains to be seen. I just hope Speedo begin providing every available market with the 'PowerFlex' or 'PowerFlex ECO' (these ones) including here in the UK.

very good product

Tuve que devolver talla pedí pedí una más me quedo bien speedo muy buena marca

I'm not a professional swimmer, but I still noticed the difference with these trunks from normal shorts or longer swimming pants. The drag is very low, and the fit was pretty much according to measurements.
