I've seen some posts with negative comments about the Endurance fabric and would like to know "why".

I have no prob with them very comfy to wear

Hey guys

I think you might me referring to my comment.

I love my Speedo Endurance Briefs. I own two pairs (black and navy blue), they are over a year old and even though I wear them a lot they are still like new. Personally I like the feel of lycra over the endurance fabric.

I have a 32" waist and normal wear size 30 gear no matter what brand it is.

My opinion is the endurance fabric has almost no stretch. After I final got a size 30 suit on, when i moved my balls were crushed. a size 32 did not fell right. a size 34 was baggy on me.

The "Endurance +" stuff has some stretch but it still has an unconformable fell and i can fell it on me in the water.

Normal Lycra fells like nothing when in the water and moves with my skin.

I'll speak up and say I don't like them at all.

To me, the material is more scratchy and not as soft and elastic as lycra. I find there is less room for my nuts in the Endurance ones.

The only advantage to the Endurance (which is 100% Polyester) is that it is extremely resistant to chlorine damage. For a serious swimmer this could be a benefit, but I know almost all of you guys in here tend to be "at home" speedo enthusiasts. lol

Wouldn't wear anything else. They are amazingly long-lasting. Bought 2 pairs about 3 years ago. I swim on average once a week and they still show no signs of wear.

I personally prefer the original Endurance to Endurance+, the original Endurance had quite a bit of stretch but it has a tenancy to tag (threads are easily pulled) or bubble.
