hey guys, while i was a swimmer for 14 years, i haven't warn speedos outside of competition or lap swim/practice sense i was 9ish (i'm 24 now), and all the palces i used to buy speedos from have long sense switched over to board shorts. also, my knowledge of what size speedo fits best, because in racing: the tighter the better... so long story short: i'm re-learning the dos and don'ts of speedo wearing =P
my first question is this: dose anyone know where i can find this speedo?
i have more questions but sadly, i can't ask them yet cause i don't have any pictures to help show what i'm talking about... yet.

Hey tiger. I haven't seen this splice pattern before. Or if I did it wasnt in these colors. Hot "V" cut on that front panel. Red and green makes them look like Christmas speeds. Speedo usually runs a not-basic style for a year or two and they move on. TYR does the same. They'll have a nice print for just one year and then you never see it again.
You can sometimes find older styles on ebay or web stores after the Speedo site stops selling them.
I'll keep looking.
With that awesome butt of yours you should look for an Andrew Christian solid brief in red. Those suits are so hot. Too bad Andrew Christian stopped selling them. What were they thinking???

Hi Justin,
Are you referring to the AC red brief with the white cross in front or this one that you can buy with international jock

Hey fogao!
I was looking for the cross in the front ones. I think these are the quick dry material. I'd like to see what the butt looks like wet. Theres a store in Key West that carries Andrew X'n. Too bad it's a seven hour drive. :-{

Hey Tiger! Check out ebay. There are lots of places that sell Yingfa/NSA stuff that should send to Canada. I have a pair of the jammers. Sizes run small. I'm a 30 and the "large" rides low and tight.

Your welcome Tiger. ebay is the best bet. And search ebay from other countries. Not sure this was a U.S. market suit or somewhere else. That front panel design is kinda rare.

If it's an Asian suit, definitely plan to order a bit larger. They tend to run smaller, even though they may say 32", don't expect that it will fit like a 32" you've bought from a US store or found from Europe.

Tiger--
Yes. Go up a size if you want. But the XL might be okay. But I have a very small butt, and yours is more athletic. My Yingfa jammer is tight, but very comfortable. I wouldn't want it to be any looser really. And I wouldn't want it to ride any higher.
