Thumbs down just received my ArrestMe, made in Hong Kong

I thought this was an Australian company. I even paid a premium price for this speedo

The package arrived from Hong Kong.

Default new suit

Sorry to hear that - a premium price for not a particularly premium product it would seem. Members often ask for pre-purchase opinions on an unfamiliar brand name but even the best have obscure sources of manufacture.

I have just learned for example about Arena, which I thought were made in France. Well, they were so but ceased in 2007 it seems. There are now several Arena companies and Japan's is owned by the Descente Corporation.
That's a Japanese company but suits actually made in China nevertheless.

contact marcuse and see if they produce in Hong Kong of if you just got ripped off by a copy. It is major issue with names like Aussiebum, D&G, Speedo, etc. Chinese do not honor copyrights and are making a fortune screwing the west. I got taken by a couple Aussiebum fakes so never buy from anyone but Aussiebum direct. I think Marcuse makes their own suits in Australia so if you order from their website direct you may pay a few buck more, but it will be worth it!
