Can anyone ID the brand?
 

Can any of you guys ID the brand on the winner - see attached close-up pic? Would like to own one. Looks amazing.

Tribord
 

It is Tribord. They are a French brand. For a while they were sold in the USA by Decathlon Sports, a chain in the New England area (owned by a French company). Decathlon went out of business in the US, but it looks like Tribord is still around (link below). Not sure if they still make the briefs in the picture. When Decathlon went out, I bought a bunch of pairs of Tribord briefs. They are cut very narrow and low, just like the picture. They fit awesome. I think I have one or two still left.

Let us know if you find them.

Great piece of info. but sadly now seems to be available only for surfing, board suits, kayaking, sailing equipment etc.:(

PS
 

Decathlon US may have gone but there is a Decathlon Sports Equipment UK and they sell suits called Nabaiji (and I have seen Ebay advertisements for Tribord Nabaiji speedos - all very confusing).

Thanks. Love the close up shots once you click on swimming... especially as they show how the drawstring is done. Not sure it is the same cut as the older Tribord, though.

:( Yes, that's the disappointing bit about Nabaiji

I did 4 miles this morning in a speedo
 

I was along on a trail. Felt brave and horned up. Shed the shorts over my speedos and ran.

Did not encounter anyone, unfortunately. But I am going to do it again.

It is electric.

I don't run, but I ride my bike - in speedos. I think the feel is probably similar. The sun and air on your skin is great. And for me, the freedom of movement is awesome. Because speedos are cut away where your legs meet your torso, there is NO restriction or fabric sliding back and forth as the legs go up and down on the pedals.

I've done 52 bike rides of 12 - 15 miles so far this season. 48 were in speedos, 4 in rugby shorts! I plan to continue as long as the weather holds.

Used to bike occasionally in speedos and often in short running shorts. Got a lot of chafing on my thighs so I now wear bike shorts. Do bike shirtless in warm weather.
