Has anyone heard of a speedo brand called Head or Odeclas?

I have heard of head. In fact I own this one pair which is 100% nylon.

Nice, looking good. How do they feel? Was thinking of buying a pair but was curious how both the brands I'm looking feel like and if they fit comfortably.

I prefer the fit and feel of lycra, but these fit me pretty well.... actually better than Aussiebums. Like all swimwear, how well they fit depends on the size and shape of what they're covering. I'd probably buy another if I ever saw them again.

Never heard of Odeclas, I've got a pair of Head racing jammers [I think Head "Invented" the modern non-wooden tennis racquet, so they do have some admittedly non-swimming pedigree]. They are coated with teflon which makes them feel really weird but I don't think this is typical of the rest of their range.

Odeclas is a Spanish brand. Swimminn carries some older styles and seems to be a reseller. I recall getting an email from Swiminn where all Odeclas were 1/2 off or something like that. You can also go to the Odeclas website and find not only new but also some that are discounted too. Don't have a pair so I can't say how they fit.

Head Sports is based out of Austria with a large presence in Germany too from a corporate standpoint. I recall seeing a lot of Head sportswear in German sports stores. I think Head swimming is based out of Italy or at least I think they may have factories there. I saw buildings from the highway with the Head logo on it while driving across Italy. I've gone into sporting good stores in Italy but I don't recall seeing any Head suits (Arena was the only brand I recognized for the most part).

Head does make some good looking suits. I considered getting a pair but at the end of the day, I have a lot of suits already so I am trying to wait and wear some of the ones I have already out ...

If you get any of the two, post back to say how they fit...

I got mine at a store that specialized in snow skiing equipment. I was surprised to see swim suits there.
