Since these went on sale after my last order, I ordered the black ones to add to the collection. This is a very good quality racer.

The Speedo Aquablade brief initially appears to be a size smaller that what they are labeled. They do fit more snugly and provides greater compression than many others in the speedo line. I'm sure this is to prevent the formation of any air pockets. Some may wish to go up one size however this would negate some of it's benefits. I would recommend ordering your true size on this one. They are comfortable and worth the extra money.

After trying so many suits and seeing them last for less than a month, we quit trying to "save money" by going with less expensive suits and opted for the aquablade.  They really do live up to their reputation for durability, fit and comfort.  They have made it through practices and even some competition.  Not only does my son use this suit, but it ts the suit of choice for the majority of his club team.  Great price point and fantastic value.

Great: material and design

Found this suit to be comparable in size to other Speedo suits.  My son said it was very comfortable and fit perfectly,  He was not checking it and adjusting it like he has with other briefs.  He wore it for the first time at a state championship meet and did get his best times ever.  I credit that more to practice than the suit, but the suit did make him more confident.  I think it is worth the price for a competitive suit.

This is a great suit! I used it at state, and even though I didn't go  a best time (due to sickness) I still pulled off a 31 second breast stroke in the 200 medley relay. Only down side is the suit was very tight.
