Material advice wanted

[edinspeedoguy]

I much prefer the stretchier spandex style speedos, but when buying online there are so many material combinations and brands it becomes really difficult to tell what they will be like without actually seeing them, and being in the UK, finding shops with more than about 5 pairs is basically impossible. Does anyone have any reccomendations on what to look for/avoid, or even better on which suits are really good for this?

I once had a pair of Aussiebum wonderjock loose swimwear made of 100% nylon. Not very comfortable after being in the water for too long. Prefer 80% nylon + 20% lycra.

I know what you mean. It isn't always perfect, but you can get some idea by looking at the exact material composition.

So, what is the material for those shiney transluscent types? Are they comfortable?

I believe it’s the same material but the process is different. I think they heat the material to create the shiny exterior.
