Speedo quality throughout. My only gripe is the cut; a bit too wide at the sides extending through the crotch = slight binding.
So far so good!
I've liked flat drawcords with TYR suits, so I was happy get a Speedo with one. Also was interested in the xtra life lycra, since suits can sometimes not last long. The drawcord was turned in the back so it did'nt lay flat and it was easily noticable. I figured it would be fine as a practice suit, so I didn't return it. As for the xtra life lycra, i could tell it was a more durable fabric. However that made the suit a little less comfortable than others. The difference was minor, but I prefer comfort to a longer life. I did like the style a lot.
I find the Speedo Triumph series to be a very well designed suit, both in the fit and design. I am not into any European cuts nor wild or overly bright color schemes. For this reason, any of the three color schemes available work out fine. For those who are attempting to be a little daring yet tend to lean a bit towards the conservative, this is the suit for you. You will then discover the advantages of reduced drag of a speed suit over trunks when in the water.
