Default Adidas Infinitex grey briefs

I've just bought a pair of these from Swimwear365 to add to my collection:

I fancied the idea of a grey pair rather than the black/navy colours I always seem to wear.

They fit well. The only drawback is that they're not quite as high cut as my Speedo Endurance 2" ones. Can't have everything I suppose....

Default Nice suit

Bede, that suit looks like it would be awesome. I like the trim colors to give it a splash of contrast. Enjoy!

Default agree third line.....

I think I see grey color creeping back in speedo ranges - hope it's a continuing trend particularly as there are some nice contrasts which can be applied.

Wore it last weekend and wasn't impressed. While it seemed a perfect fit trying it on, in the water it seemed to stretch too much and the rear part of the suit kept folding over if I swam too quickly (which isn't that quick). Rather embarrassing.

So I won't be wearing that again. Should have foreseen that as I've had Adidas suits in the past and they've never quite cut it.

Have you got a pair like these?

Adidas Briefs are no longer sold in the US but I have several pair of these in various sizes I got cheap ($4.99 ea) on a closeout. They are the Classic Adidas swim brief, I think.

Iv noticed that a long time ago about Adidas suits, had the same problems with mine and notice the pics of Ton Daley how the Adidas suit designed by Stella Mcartney for the games seem to sag on him.

The fit is not that different from the aqux, but your butt will be completely covered. This is a size 30 Adidas, and a Sm Aqux. Try the 28 if you want a lower fit still.

Unhappy

That's disappointing for you Bede about the swimsuit. It looks great in the picture but obviously didn't perform well. Any possibility you could exchange it because of its poor performance in the water and if the company will allow it then you can size down?

Default Adidas fit

Linking Bede/Sebbie/Louis I have not been a great fan of theirs either.
Sebbie refers to the black "classic" which is what I call Tom Daley's "workaday"
suit and it usually looks OK on him.
As for the Stella McCartney Olympics team creation however I have never seen that
as a really good fit on any of them . Stick to Speedo guys - I've always thought those are best for you !
