Speedo Brief PowerFlex Eco Solar Swimsuits

The speedo solar suits are about the only swimsuit I wear either to the beach or to the pool and they have ALWAYS fitted well, as most other brands are either too small in the front or too small in the back or the size is either too big or too small. I just recently purchased two black solar suits because I got suckered in by the low price of $15.00. When I received them and tried them on, I immediately realized something was not right. They were size 34 and they were too tight, AND the coverage on the back was smaller than usual.

I looked at the tag and saw the label saying “Made In China”. I had solar suits made in Mexico and Sri Lanka and this is the first I ever got that turned out to be made in China. I compared them to my other suits and sure enough, there was less material in the back and it is made smaller than the usual size 34.

And if the Speedo Corporation is reading this, do not have China making your suit. It appears they are cutting back on the material and as a result, these suits are ill fitting and provide less adequate coverage. This is a practice that I have heard about in books such as “Cheaply Made In China”.

In retrospect maybe that is why they were on sale for a measly $15.00. I never thought Speedo would become the brand of “you get what you paid for” even when you get them at a bargain price.

Excellent Produit !

This worked well for a while. Then the string came out, so we had to order a different bathing suit. I wouldn’t recommend it if you’re on a swim team or do a lot of swimming because it may not last very long.

I’ve got to say the suit is very well made. It feels and looks like it should hold up for years to come. The material is a little thicker than expected it’s heavy duty. My main draw back is the fit, the back rear area fits perfect but the front area is really to tight. It pushes everything back and up and you know what I’m talking about guys to where it’s very uncomfortable. Did I buy it to small? I don’t think so as it fits perfect everywhere else. Am I a bragger nope I’m normal as most guys. I purchased a size 36 and I normally wear a size a size 34 in all my clothes I’m 5’11” and a lean 200 lbs. with a muscular frame. I have other Speedo’s I wear in the size 36 that fit perfect without the uncomfortable frontal area. My wife has a idea? As they always do to place a ball of appropriate size in the front area and secure it when I’m not wearing it of course and see if it will stretch out some (like we do with a baseball glove to break it in) to conform a better fit and make it a little more comfortable.
I hope this helps out on your decision to purchase or not as still Speedos are my number one swimsuits.

This came in a more true to size. In my country speedo runs sizes a little tighter and I order size 38 even though I’m more 34.
Next time will order a size down.
I haven’t used it extensively, but so far it’s a much more comfortable suit than is offered here.
It’s lined both in the front and the back, so drying can take a bit longer.
Loved the color scheme. I can’t comment about durability yet. Will update if anything changes.

Nice Material, expected fit and size, perfect for swimming Pool training
