I've just bought a pair of these from Swimwear365 to add to my collection:

I fancied the idea of a grey pair rather than the black/navy colours I always seem to wear.

They fit well. The only drawback is that they're not quite as high cut as my Speedo Endurance 2" ones. Can't have everything I suppose....

Bede, that suit looks like it would be awesome. I like the trim colors to give it a splash of contrast. Enjoy!

I think I see grey color creeping back in speedo ranges - hope it's a continuing trend particularly as there are some nice contrasts which can be applied.

Wore it last weekend and wasn't impressed. While it seemed a perfect fit trying it on, in the water it seemed to stretch too much and the rear part of the suit kept folding over if I swam too quickly (which isn't that quick). Rather embarrassing.

So I won't be wearing that again. Should have foreseen that as I've had Adidas suits in the past and they've never quite cut it.

Adidas Briefs are no longer sold in the US but I have several pair of these in various sizes I got cheap ($4.99 ea) on a closeout. They are the Classic Adidas swim brief, I think.

Iv noticed that a long time ago about Adidas suits, had the same problems with mine and notice the pics of Ton Daley how the Adidas suit designed by Stella Mcartney for the games seem to sag on him.

No - they look too high on the waist. I believe the reason Speedo briefs are quite low is because your propulsion is from the hips, so that the sides of the briefs are designed to fit below the hips.

The fit is not that different from the aqux, but your butt will be completely covered. This is a size 30 Adidas, and a Sm Aqux. Try the 28 if you want a lower fit still.

That's disappointing for you Bede about the swimsuit. It looks great in the picture but obviously didn't perform well. Any possibility you could exchange it because of its poor performance in the water and if the company will allow it then you can size down?

Linking Bede/Sebbie/Louis I have not been a great fan of theirs either.
Sebbie refers to the black "classic" which is what I call Tom Daley's "workaday"
suit and it usually looks OK on him.
As for the Stella McCartney Olympics team creation however I have never seen that
as a really good fit on any of them . Stick to Speedo guys - I've always thought those are best for you !

Sebbie, you wear both suits well! Can you show the back of each too? How transparent does the white get on that Aqux suit?

The Aqux uses a fairly heavy fabric. Shouldnt be too transparent.

Expect the Adidas to give you full butt crack coverage...can be worn in any situation. The Aqux is designed to show about an inch of butt crack, if sized correctly at the waist..thats part of the skimpy Asian look and if a guy thinks he is uncomfortable with that the Aqux is probably not the right choice. The photos here provide a pretty good indication of the actual coverage in the rear.

If you want more coverage in back, you could size up to a Large

Ive had good luck ordering through aliexpress vendors, but expect 3-4 weeks to US. The Asian designs are way unlike anything you would find in the US

I've seen these adidas briefs but don't really like grey. However I have a navy blue adidas suit with is quite narrow compared to some of their newer stuff. Also a HOM micro bikini in black and yellow.

Going back to post#10 , TD shows up here again in the latest Team GB print:

Not only a neat pic. of him but the design looks good and I still feel that cleverly playing with the Union Flag in that way is more pleasing to the eye than what we eventually saw from Adidas for the 2012 Olympics.
