Adidas 3 stripe in the US

So I'm reading this suit is definitely something to add, and from what appears to be an outright banishment from sale in the US, it must be true. So where do I get one? Also, I wear a 28" waist, normally small or x-small. Do they make them in my size?

I haven't bought from this site, but it's the best selection of 3-strippers I know out there. It used to be better, and really wish I had bought some a year ago when it had a much better selection.

Sadly, I think the proper, non-fake 3-stripper is going to become a collectors item. I might put mine in my safe deposit box......I wonder if I would be the first guy to put a speedo in a safe deposit box?

Here is one - I haven't ordered from this site either but I'm guessing they ship to the US.

The 3 stripes are a must have--That was my 1st pairs I bought about 5 years ago, and they are still holding up great. I had to buy mine from overseas ( i think the UK)

I fear that Adidas may be discontinuing these, at least in North America. They seem to be heavily discounted on every NA-based web retailer, and it's becoming more and more difficult to find them. Such a shame, too. They're the style that got me into speedos.
I finally took the hint and snagged a pair here.

I received mine, and they are about a 1/4" wider on the sides then my original pair, so very pleased with the results from the site.
merken, those look like the pair I bought from Swim Outlet, which were so wide, they were immediately sent back.

Good news is: I'm in the club now! Bought from Bike24, since they were the only ones to carry my size (28" waist = size 3).
Bad news is: now even the UK Adidas site now no longer sells them!!!
Thanks to Dave for finding this site!

Welcome to the 3 striper club! Wear them to the beach the next time--they fit you very well.

I bought a pair of 3 strip from Swimwear4men. It's in Austria if I remember. Paid almost $40 for them. Shipping was very fast. Barely 5 days from there to here. There is a good selection and good size range with different color stripes too. However, I wonder what the hype is for these. I like my Sporti Euro cut better and they're less that half the price.

Thanks guys! I have not had a chance to test them out running / swimming at the beach yet, since it's been raining very hard the last few days.

Yeah, I had to find out what the hype was about. I think my
Aussiebum Swish suit is cut better, but the Adidas feel more durable.

I have some of the swish suits too. I like them and that back seam feels nice doing laps. Sort of caresses my ass crack. But still go for those Sporti euro suits moreso.

I have the original Aussiebum League Briefs, which are the same as the Swish line, which are awesome too!

I had some of the originals too, but wear and ruff play got the best of them
