NEW AB Active suit. Thought?

Any thoughts on the new AB Active suits? I like the look of the cut, but I hate the way the holes look. I might have bought one for laps :/

I would personally prefer to just swim in my normal nylon aussiebums. I find that they are pretty comfy.

I like the cut, too. Curious to see the cut in the back.

I like the cut too. It seems to be made for a smaller frame. Like you, I don't like the eyelets on the suit.

I hate it when a suit looks really good....except for one tiny detail....like a huge logo. I like how AB has made that an option for those who like it.

I've never liked metal "hardware" on a swimsuit. Other than those eyelet holes, I think it looks great.

most waterparks won't let you wear swimwear with metal eyelets on the fast water slides. I guess it can catch and fall off.

They attract lightning when you're on top of Der Stuka, awaiting your turn.

I wish they would go back to making more suits without the seam down the center of the front pouch. I have some older Aussiebum suits made that way and they look and feel much better.

Gentlemen, including Rockman748, Speedo_Arena, ExBex, and GRSwimwear, I share your concerns regarding having a seam "down the centre of the pouch". To me, it just seems to destroy the aesthetic of the design, which is probably a complicated way of saying that it just looks ugly. I can give a "core promise" that this will never happen with Caussie. If you like 100% nylon, and a classic design, then neither you, or we, would ruin it, by even contemplating a Caussie with a front seam. Don't worry, it will never happen...
All the best,
Caussie

How do we feel about back seams?

Thanks Red^^Speedo, good comment, you've asked the question. I can guess, but I don't actually know what you feel about back seams.
No prizes for knowing that we have much the same reaction to back seams, as to a seam down the front. Not necessary, destroys the aesthetic, etc, etc. Certainly no place in designs featuring 100% nylon.
Enjoy!
