Re: Q Swimwear Cyber Monday/50% Off
Last July I bought one classic and one water polo brief (34), and I can confirm the measurements of 4" and 2.5" respectively. The classic Q, at 4" side seam, is pretty much like the classic Speedo Endurance + of the same size, however, in agreement with red^^, the fit of the Q is more relaxed, the w...

Re: Greetings from Brazil
Welcome, Pierre! I may have posted this before, a hilarious advertisement from sungalife.com. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGQ1KvEzaeQ It proclaims the superiority of sungas over board shorts, and dismisses speedos too. Squares vs triangles. While I don't agree with the last part, it's great that...

Re: Q Swimwear Cyber Monday/50% Off
I bought from them on their last 50% sale earlier this year. It did take 4 weeks for just-in-time production, printing, cutting, stitching,.. They don’t keep anything in shelf stock. Worth the wait though.

Re: Exploring TURBO brand
The TrustPilot negative comments are all about snafus in ordering, not about quality of the merchandise. I've never ordered from them direct, so I can't comment about that. I've found my Turbo briefs on ebay and at a local Sports Basement retailer. If I'm ever in Barcelona again, I'll definitely wan...

Re: Exploring TURBO brand
The water polo cut has 7cm (3”) side seam, whereas on the swim cut it is 10cm (4”). The water polo brief will sit lower on your hip, just above your femur, where your leg articulates. In appearance it will sit about three finger widths below your navel, where as the swim cut will ride higher on the ...

Re: Speedos in Cabo, Mexico?
Old thread, common topic, "is <destination> speedo-friendly?" I was in San José del Cabo in Baja a week ago, prior to hurricane Norma. Luckily it faded to a tropical storm before it hit, unlike hurricane Otis that hit Acapulco at category five. My wife and I were in the water in the ocean for hours,...

Re: Building confidence in speedos
People do notice, mostly of the corner of their eye, very few will stare or laugh. Laugh along. That goes equally for lap pool, hotel pool, lake, river, ocean cruise, wherever swimwear is appropriate. Wear with confidence, and feign confidence if you don't feel it at first. ...Enter the Dragon... Ha...

Re: Q swimwear sale
Water polo suits better be solid. I also have a couple that I like a lot from Turbo (Barcelona), but they are not readily available in many patterns here in the States. Q Swimware and HardCoreSport are California companies (manufactured in Mexico), easy on the stateside shipping. This month Q has be...

Re: Q swimwear sale
I did buy a couple of briefs from the sale. Interesting process, Q Swimwear makes the suits on demand, nothing in stock, and it takes about 3 weeks for them to cut, print, sew, inspect, and ship, thanks to the wonders of computer aided manufacturing and dye sublimation printing. One is a water polo ...

Re: Interesting prints from HardcoreSports
This is the backside of the Hardcore tagged above. It does attract attention, makes a statement, at least my wife likes the view!
Both factories, Hardcore and Q, are native S. California. Aside from water polo and swim teams, do you like briefs that show an affiliation?

Re: Interesting prints from HardcoreSports
This is my Q. I have Brazilian friends, and I like the green/yellow/blue swirl. This is a water polo suit, lined front and back, comfortable, and I like it a lot. Wore it on the beach in Hawaii. Seems to me the sewing and finish are not quite up to par with Turbo or HardCore, not to gripe, it may be...

BADBC11B-8042-4BEF-B617-F9C588FDF21E.jpeg My one hardcore brief has 3.25” side seams. Judging from photos on their web site and the second example above, I’d guess that the narrow “euro” option would be 1.5”. It is solid construction. I’m a 33” waist, and the 34 fits fine. It has enough stretch tha...

Re: Speedo in Hawaii
Followup report: I counted only two other speedos on my to Oahu last week. Both guys were on Kahanamoku beach in front of the Waikiki Hilton. One guy jettisoned his board shorts in favor of a black brief for actual ocean swimming. Maybe because I was already there. The other guy was in line at a bea...

I'll be with my wife and niece on Waikiki next month. I have kama'aina cousiins there. Looking forward to the beaches and swimming/bodysurfing. Got to look good, feel good! I'll take along Speedo, Turbo, Dolfin, Arena, Q, and SungaLife, letting my wife help choose for the day. I feel lucky that she ...

Come on Google, technically elementary edits against a simple background, cut and fill. I missed the ad, thanks for pointing it out. Yeah, a lot of prejudice there, but I wouldn't fault photographers for wanting to edit the speedo dudes out of their snapshots. Oh, great football game. Interesting fu...

Re: What was the last speedo you wore and what were you doing?
My last swim of the year, at the nice indoor pool at the Berkeley Y, not too busy. Rainy day. Wore the Arena brief. Afterward in the shower room, there was another guy in a brightly colored racing brief who had just finished his laps. This Y has a big open room with lots of showerheads on the wall, ...
