Default 1" sideseam solar SPEEDO

I was browsing SwimOutlet and came across the 1" speedo. Looking at the pic, it certainly does not resemble a 1" side. However after I chatted with the customer service, they did infact confirm it is 1".

I would think that 1" would definetely put it more in the "bikini" category.

Anybody bought a pair?

Without a male model wearing them it is hard to tell the scale, the picture doesn't really tell us much. Without skin tones for comparison we don't really have a clue as to the real colour.
It has a front seam, this means that the front will be pouched to some extent.
It may well have 1" side seams but the back looks very full.

SwimOutlet has them on sale for $23. The reviews seem to be good.

I was trying to compare this 1" Solar Speedo to the Sporti Euro speedo they have on clearance for $9-13. I don't know which one is a better buy.

Default which one?

I have no experience of the Sporti but the Solar always seems to receive
good reports - and that blue one sure ain't 1" whether you want to call it a bikini or not.

I have a bunch of the Speedo Solars and they definately are NOT 1" sides. They used to be, but Speedo chabged the suit a few years ago and made the sides a bit wider, probably closer to 2". They are still a great fit. Its my "go to" suit, I wear it all the time. Love the tanlines I get from it!!!
