"Functional, inexpensive, nice looking"

This is a great speedo for the beach/pool. I wouldn't use this for my swimming workout, but it certainly is as much a functional suit as it is a "fashion" statement.

I have a muscular build so I took the advice of the previous reviewer and bought a 34 even though I have a 32 waist. It isn't baggy at all around the waist, and it fits better across my backside and thighs than I would expect the 32 would. Guys with slight builds should not adjust the size I suspect.

"Sizes are too small"

I ordered a medium, but it was just too small and tight fitting. I would recommend ordering one size larger than you think you are. The material seemed to be of good quality. 3 stars

"Functional and fashionable"

Great activewear, a nice compromise between baggies and more revealing suits for men. Decent quality and fit. You can look great without showing off, and be active in them comfortably though I would more use them to hang out in versus swim a mile. As others have pointed out, sapphire is probably one of the best colors for tan and fit people, and these run a bit small, so order a size bigger than you think. If you are "between sizes", the larger is the way to avoid a return. Enjoy your vacation! 5 stars

"Very comfortable and flattering"

Order a size above your own and it should be quite fine. I'm 5'7", 130lbs and my waist size is 28; Medium fit me perfectly. Sapphire looks amazing against tanned skin. 4 stars

"OK. Not up to Bally's super chlorinated pools"

It does dry fast. It's a good product for swimming laps --doesn't bind like board shorts. But my local Bally's gym must use heavy duty chlorine (even then, the water is disgusting --all gray and filled with particles) cause I'm starting to see spots in my swim trunks where the fabric is being eaten away.

Also, the elastic waist band tends to move around and get twisted.

But I guess I'd still buy it again, because I'm buying another one. It's either this or pay $50 for a similar suit elsewhere.
