Review on Powerflex Eco Dive Solid Swimsuit Brief for Men by Speedo by David Stewart

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect for older men whose best days are long gone

I haven't worn a Speedo swimsuit in over 40 years. I chose to test it solely for use in my pool which is housed in a screened pool enclosure surrounded by tall hedges. So don't worry about scaring the neighbors. ;-) I bought it hoping it would be comfortable, dry quickly and wash off easily after use. Fortunately, I can report that it ticks all of those boxes. But I wanted to post this review in hopes it might help someone else who is considering ordering it. I read all questions and all reviews before placing an order. (Yes, I have OCD.) Several people commented that this costume runs small. I carefully measured myself on every recommended body part (remember, I have OCD) and came up with a "perfect" size 37. So, based on the feedback and responses to questions, I decided to go half a size up to take, the 38. Size 38 fits and is comfortable, but after a week of daily wear it becomes clear that size 36 fits better. So if you're between sizes, in my experience I would recommend going down a size. (I should point out that aside from my love arms and old guts, I have a slim build.)

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Minor repairability
