I received mine this week, also in red and in black.
I tried them on dry, and then in the shower. ( Can't wait to try them in the pool and at the beach).
My first impressions:
They ARE glossy. Unexpectedly, the gloss diminishes a bit when wet.
They are very skimpy, much smaller fit than say, Speedo Solars. They're almost like the Desmiit suit I got a while back.
The white side bands are very see through when wet, so I guess the all white suit would also be kinda 'showy' .
While the red and black are not transparent, they are very clingy. Well defined VPL's.
