Review on Speedo Male Brief Swimsuit Endurance Sports & Fitness by Charles Quinones

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Swimming proves that.

I've used water polo suits (100% nylon) for a long time because of their greater durability compared to Lycra swimsuits. It's amazing how revealing the disappearance of 13% of tissue can be! However, I was so intrigued by this endurance race that I gave it a try. The Race Endurance suit uses a new Speedo fabric formula that Speedo claims lasts 60 times longer than previous Lycra blend suits. "Chlorine impermeable" is a statement (Speedo term). That's a bold statement, and only time in the pool will tell. There is an obvious difference in the feel of the fabric compared to the old Lycra blend suits; It seems more durable, so while I'm skeptical of the 60X claim, I'm not dismissing it. Keep for updates. If Speedo is right, it may be a few years before I proceed. At the same time, the suit fits great and offers the flattering fit that lycra blend suits offer (compared to the roomy, floppy fit of water polo suits). ). Update August 2015: Well, maybe not 60 times more, but only now, two years after purchase, do I swim twice a week in a chemically treated pool and take off this swimsuit. Very happy with the durability. If I find the same stuff again I will definitely buy again!
