Finally some warmer weather in Norcal. It's got me interested in purchasing a new suit. I already have an Arena, TYR, speedo, and a couple of aussiebums. Would be cool to try another lesser known premium brand like Aussiebum, but I'm nos sure what all is out there. Suggestions?

My favorite brand is N2N Bodywear and they have some new styles that they just featured. Prices are pretty reasonable and the quality is great. Definitely my goto brand anymore!

I recommend Turbo. I haven't bought one yet. I think they run smaller than Speedo brand. Others can advise. They're well made, and I think fully lined. Not on sale very often. They run about US$40. They have solids and a large variety of prints. Preferred by water polo teams.

Below is a link to Swim Outlet that has some Turbo suits under $40 in very specific sizes and styles. I may buy one. While you're there, check out the Sporti Euro cut brief. I have one. It's a small suit. Fits well. Looks amazingly good. And the price is right.

My swim and gym buddy Aaron loves his Turbo suit. They seem to be pretty loose on him but I couldn't say whether that's just him or they run big or small. I also love my Q Swimwear suit, it's very body-hugging. And HARDCORESPORT is repped by Tony Azevedo. I like mine but it is definitely less supportive/more loose.

Mentioned in the other post, Swiminn has the cheapest priced Turbo suits. It's a site in Spain (and Turbo are made in Spain) even with shipping, they are much cheaper if they have your size & a style you like. https://www.swiminn.com/swimming/turbo- ... 6009/268/x . If you get the water polo suit, order up at least a size a size. If you are boarder next size or like them loose, order up two. I can't tell you how regular Turbo suit (front lined only) fit since I only wear the fully lined suits. I am a 29 waist and I wear Speedo 30. I ordered Turbo M which is tagged 32 and they fit me snug which is how I wear my suits. I don't like them loose in the leg if I sit down in a lounge chair and straddle it. I cannot stand when there is a gap in the leg area when I am sitting.

Has anyone ever tried Funky Trunks or Budgy Smugglers? Both Australian made. They have some great designs.
My favorite at the moment is Adidas Parley Trunks or 3-Stripe Trunks. The fit is perfect. I also have a pair of Turbo Trunks and you need to order a size larger than Speedos sizing.
