G'day Guys,

I like them, slightly too wide sides for my liking, white and red look best IMO!

I agree. I like sides this width. For my body type, sides that are too narrow don't look good. For color, I kind of like the navy with yellow detail.

I also agree about the side measurement but I bet they perform excellently for a swim, and they do look good. I like the cut and color, even if I do prefer skimpier sides. But Arena sure does make great looking suits.

Love the cut the color and geometric design front and back. What I don’t like is 100% polyester

Sounds like you are doing good work there!

Keep converting them to swim briefs!

Arena Polyester is way softer than Speedo or TYR polyester suits. As I mentioned in another post, the sides get smaller as the size gets smaller. The model on their site is probably wearing a 32/34 or something close to that which would be 2.75".

Arenas are my go to suits and my kid wears them too. I just measured and a size 26 has 2" sides and a 28" is slightly more... but definitely not 2.75"

That is clever of them keeping sides in proportion, certainly helps the look.
