Smooth skin neoprene brief.

[TysonZA]

Hi to all

I used to browse and post the odd post on the old forum.
Needless to say I found what I consider to be the best speedo ever, and I felt it only right to share:

It is a smooth neoprene swim brief, (ladies too) made by a company called TR-Sportswear. It is a bit costly but coming from South Africa with the exchange rate I can tell you that it is definitely worth every penny!! So much so that I have bought 2! The staff are friendly and helpful too.

Just a warning their website is not the greatest, I had to mail them before I could actually place an order. Oh and they have different colours too!! :)

Oh and just to make sure, no I dont work for the company.

They look great - am I right to assume that they feel like a wet suit to wear?
They would I imagine have added strength and water resistance - would that be of interest to the water polo players ?

Btw your user name is ZA for South Africa but the contact address is Riverside California - is that the US sales agent ?

[TysonZA]

I am from South Africa, yet, if Im not mistaken they are from California, I actually spotted them selling on ebay and asked the seller where he got it and thats how I found the site.
The suit is very smooth to wear, has an absolutely amazing feel to it, I would say definitely durabe but tend to hold water because there is no drainage.

Thanks - I would guess that water retention would not please those who prefer a racer speedo fabric and as a club suit I am not sure whether the
ever increasing inspirations for color and design printing would be achievable.

I can imagine the comfort of fit however and must look into this (is there two-way stretch and would you advise upsize or downsize from normal?

PS: You have been a long time coming to the new board so welcome as of yesterday.

[TysonZA]

there is a 2 way stretch yes,

Size wize, I originally decided to half downsize as per the ladies advice, I normally wear a 38" but I went to a 37" which was perfect, and they were more than happy to resize it for me.
But since I bought an extra pair off Ebay which was a 36"and that fitted to just a little tight.

So my advice is half downsize if you want a normal fit, downsize if you are going to use it for waterpolo or just prefer a tighter fit.
