Re: Thoughts on these?
Whatever rocks your boat. Bit too flashy for me, and as Speedo admit - aimed at the younger market.
I notice at competition meets that whilst almost every competitor wears jammers for the events, warm ups and swim downs are usually done wearing briefs, and the variety of designs / patterns is overwhelming. Really colourful patterns are common. Think much of this is down to Funky Trunks, but others brands have followed. Never really like Funky Trunks - the cut is less than flattering for any guy - Speedos do much better in this respect.

Personally I quite like patterns and colour after being stuck with navy and black for so long lol...speedobillyuk wrote: ↑Mon Jan 29, 2018 1:40 pmWhatever rocks your boat. Bit too flashy for me, and as Speedo admit - aimed at the younger market.

I think these suits are pretty cool looking? Are they available and where?Speedoaddict wrote:Hi Scottishspeedo,
I have seen these and the other design with the teeth which I also like.
I contacted speedo about the the maximum size and these only go up to a size 34" waist. Speedo say these designs are aimed at the younger market.
The Skulls brief is Scottishspeedo's picture from his link.
Hope you didn't mind me doing this?

Only in a size 34” waist. I contacted Speedo UK and I was informed these are aimed at the younger market. If you are like me in a 38” waist or you take a 36” waist then sorry.
I have also checked the Speedo USA site and these are not listed.

Interesting, I have relations in a few places, one of them is BC, Canada, my dads grandparents seemingly went out to farm, but were rained out and returned to Scotland.....BJE wrote: ↑Sat Feb 10, 2018 9:06 amMy ancestors lived at Cortachy near Forfar for many hundreds of years.scottishSpeedo wrote: ↑Sun Jan 28, 2018 5:18 pmnorthern Angus/ Perthshire border area.Scottiebum wrote: ↑Sun Jan 28, 2018 5:15 pmOh, not good.

Re: Thoughts on these?
When you said size 26 or 28 I was thinking “boy” as I was pondering on how an adult male could possibly have a waist six inches smaller than my 32” waist.
It would seem that a 26” waist would belong to a person who is about 5’ 2” tall and about 110 lbs.

One of my swim shops had these bright stuff only going up to size 28. They seem to Target older people with boring colors

Re: Thoughts on these?
A lot of swimmers/divers wear 2 to 3 sizes too small for hydrodynamic reasons, same for male and female swimmers...hence why they look so crushingly tight......
