Hi Craig

Welcome on board. I bought a swimming short/trunk on sale from O'Niel shop yesterday. They are not the sexiest cut you can find, but thought i will add it to my collection. Also I saw some Adidas speedos at SportsDirect, plus I have ordered a Aussiebum classic (black). I think they are the same as you have in your photo. However, I may change the colour as the Adidas are also black. Photos in near future.

ABum have such a large range of colours, I am sure any will suit your bod. The brief fits you well. As you are off to Corfu, I am sure a brighter coloured brief will look great at the beach.

Cheers!

Craig!,

You have a great speedo body! You can wear anything you want!! Go for a Adidases. Maybe a brief style royal blue or even a red for Corfu. I think Adidas has some squarecuts. You can probably get them in the U.K. Not easily found in U.S. :cry: Also the Turbo brand water polo suits are cool also. Whatever you get post pics and sizes!!

Hey Craig, you have the bod for just about anything in a speedo. May I suggest aussiebum 1.5 classic, free shipping from Oz land, or go to e-bay, men underwear shop, and they have nice metallic blue areans. Arenas are great fitting. Have a great time in Corfu and don't forget to take pictures in the new speedos, with the girls of course.

Thanks guys...I am thinking I am guna get Aussiebum classic but they are 100 per cent nylon... does that mean they will come off easier than a lycra/ lycra blend....i dont want my friends to give em a tug and them fall off lol

HI Craig, no problem with the nylon coming off, Aussiebums have a wast draw string. And by the way, a great choice, especially the nylon they will last forever and get better with age. And don't forget to take photos to share.

and go to 'water polo'
then to the chloroban suits which are more durable and colorfast. They fit snugly, but the sizing is correct.

There are a whole lot of unusual colors. I have several and the solid orange is a favorite.

Some of the colors are not considered 'guy' colors like hot pink, coarl pink and white. These are custom made and might not be ready by the time you're ready to leave. If you call them ask which are already made and ready to ship.

The suits are about US$23+ shipping which is done UPS and is a little pricey. Still you can get 3 suits for US$85 or so.

No idea how they ship internationally.

There are also some 100% nylon suits as well as the usual lycra.
