USA Water Polo Olympic Suits... anyone gonna buy?

Post by ExBex » Thu Jun 30, 2016 9:48 am

Looks like Turbo is the official suit supplier for the USA Olympic Water Polo Team. Kap7 is selling the actual suit worn by the team...

They also have another new USA/Brazil design, which I really like...

It's nice to see they haven't jacked up the price.

So... Whattya think of the design? Is anyone buying? Or if you're from outside the USA, will you be getting any Olympic suits for your country?

Swiminn has the Brazilian water polo suit for slightly cheaper but no USA suit yet. There are also other countries official Olympic suits on Turbo's Spain website. http://www.turbo.es/en

Cool... I didn't know Turbo was doing new suits for other countries as well. I like Latvia.

Never fails that the sites that have the best prices never have my size. :| I don't understand why the main site in Spain doesn't even carry all their sizes!

Is it just me or are swim briefs becoming too expensive? that can be a factor in guys wanting to wear them. The one for Australia is going for $60! Too much IMO.

I hear ya speedoboi. I've never spent $60 on a suit. And I still haven't pulled the trigger on one of those Turbos I posted above for $45.

It does feel like price gouging, considering how little material is used!

Watched the US lose to Croatia this morning in these suits. Too bad they lost, but they looked good doing it!
(Croatia's suits and caps were really cool too.) Gonna have to try to watch a lot of water polo this Olympics!

I went back & watched the game on "On Demand". Loved seeing the team in that suit. They really lost it in the 4th.
