Looking for a solid grey speedo to match some grey board shorts I have...any suggestions on where I can find it?

Lnk24,

I just bough a grey speedo from AussieBum - they are the Invincibles.

They are similar to a speedo endurance and made out of a heavier more durable material than lycra. They do last longer for sure but they don't have the same feel as lycra.

The sizing I got was what I normally wear and these were a little tight and low cut so perhaps go 1 size bigger.

Hope that helps you out mate.

Lnk24,

If I was you go an XL for a snug fit - XXL for a comfy looser fit. They are really quite small for their sizing.

Lnk24m,

I was actually looking for a black speedo when I bought that one but it is definitely grey.

If you aren't in a rush then shipping shouldn't be too bad.

I'll be back in Nth America in November.... perhaps we'll compare speedos.

Cya mate.

You should also check out the platinum Aussiebum classics

I have a pair and they definitely look more like the picture in the right side of the screen than the pair on the model, meaning they are more of a shiny medium grey than silver.

As for shipping, I've found it takes 5-7 business days for orders to make it to the States (and I'm on the East Coast).

If you order soon from aussiebum, try using the word "MATE" in coupon code/promo box. Supposedly its part of some Men's Health magazine promotion and it will take 15% off your total.
