As expected but seams started coming apart fairly quickly.
Shorts are comfortable and look okay (if you care what you look like in the water). I do a lot of free-diving with minimal equipment and grabbed these because I wanted something that provided less drag than my board shorts but more coverage than a regular speedo. I was pleased with the purchase for the most part. That said, I’m not sure if it’s ocean use, corrosive sunscreen, or my bulging quads 😉 but after only a few collective hours in the pool and roughly 18 collective hours in the ocean, the seams began to come undone. They’re still useable, but I’d imagine they’re going to get raggedy in not too long.

Infinite Lasting
Good suit, a bit tight around the thighs, I love these for practice because it adds that bonus drag to give you that needed boost in races, also, with these you don’t have to wash them since the mesh covers the interior layer and there is no sorry about exposing your junk, I’ve use these things for years now and they never deteriorate. Fabric suits are god tier.

Nice and stylish
I’ve bought this for my husband and he says: “The swimsuit is nice and fits Me perfectly. I’m 6’ tall, 185lbs (I bought the size 32). It hasn’t shrunk after washing, stays in place when I swim, and it looks really cool.
I’ve used it for about three weeks, 4-5 times a week And don’t have any complaints at all.

Waist is right, Thighs are tight
The waist size you pick should be fine, but the issue is not with the waist, it’s not with the overlaying mesh either. It’s the under portion, it’s WAY tight on the thighs, it’s uncomfortable and you can’t possibly train with it on. Feels like it’ll cut off my blood flow. I like the material overall, but I’m just gonna have to fix the tightness.

He got it to wear under his new two piece wet suit and is very satisfied w. the fit
I’m writing this in lieu of my husband who is at work. We got this a few days ago. He got it to wear under his new two piece wet suit and is very satisfied w. the fit. Now he’s all set to enjoy some visiting Italian family at Branson, MO in three wks. He is a great example of how a 72 (73 in Sept.) yr old man can take care of himself and continue living and enjoying a healthy life’

Adequate suit, sizing differs from most Speedo swimwear
I usually wear swim briefs for lap swimming, but I picked this up as an occasional-use item. Normally with Speedo other similar swimwear brands it’s best to buy a size or two larger than you would normally wear, but that doesn’t seem to be the case with this mesh drag suit. It fits a bit loose around the waist, but the drawstring makes the swimsuit work. One of the fears I have about going a size smaller is that my thighs are quite large and muscular and I fear they will be too constrained if I try a smaller size. This suit is adequate for lap swimming, but I feel like there might be better options out there for people interested in a drag suit.
