I like them, slightly too wide sides for my liking, white and red look best IMO!

I agree. I like sides this width. For my body type, sides that are too narrow don't look good. For color, I kind of like the navy with yellow detail.

I also agree about the side measurement but I bet they perform excellently for a swim, and they do look good. I like the cut and color, even if I do prefer skimpier sides. But Arena sure does make great looking suits.

Love the cut the color and geometric design front and back. What I don’t like is 100% polyester

Lent my mate my red pair of Arena speedos for some wrestling fun. Now, I can’t get them back off him! Guess we have another convert

Sounds like you are doing good work there!

Keep converting them to swim briefs!

Arena Polyester is way softer than Speedo or TYR polyester suits. As I mentioned in another post, the sides get smaller as the size gets smaller. The model on their site is probably wearing a 32/34 or something close to that which would be 2.75".

Arenas are my go to suits and my kid wears them too. I just measured and a size 26 has 2" sides and a 28" is slightly more... but definitely not 2.75"

That is clever of them keeping sides in proportion, certainly helps the look.
