Nice material. Has held up nice after a weeks worth of grinding in the beach sands of St. Thomas while playing with my grandson. The front string ties nice and tight so the suit stays on in a crashing wave. Fits nice over my skinny thighs. Great replacement for my 25 year old bikini bathing suits that started to look a bit silly on my aging body.
It felt too small based on size chart. I'm 30-31 waist and chose (M) size. the waste is too tight and so are the legs. I would try a (L) size but it's not that cheap for $33+SH...so, I'll live with it. I also made a mistake of cutting the care label which is way over sized- so can't return. I would point out that the care label instructs you to go to speedo site for "special care" info but does not tell you anything else- kinda cheezy. I liked the color and style but will choose other brand next time.
I believe this is the fourth time I've bought this suit. I love it. I don't know if it's the strength of the chlorine in the pool or if I just don't know how to clean it right, but I do end up having to buy a new one every 3 months. I swim about twice a week for an hour and a half on average.
I swim laps 4 times a week and like the comfort of the material. Fit is a bit snug and I like the wide waistband. At first the waistband and leg seams were a bit itchy, but either I got used to it or the material soon "relaxed". Wish the leg was a bit longer, but overall I like this pair. good looking pair of shorts. Got tired of black or plain colors or (wild colors/patterns). Side stripes give it a nice look.
Just as described. Look and feel great !
Happy with the looks and the fit.
