I've been pining away for some skimpy Arena suits from Singapore for a LONG time, and I finally pulled the trigger and bought them. They are FANTASTIC suits- nylon/lycra (as opposed to polyester) so really soft and stretchy, and very brief. I'm super pumped!!!

I've posted about them elsewhere, but check out the seller's store if you're interested. For my fellow Americans, shipping took about 2 and a half weeks from Singapore. I went up a size per his recommendation, and I'm glad I did. They fit perfectly.

Wow, you look great in these. Worth the wait.

Love the suits and how they fit! I may purchase some.

Those look really good on you! Really like the blue ones. Can you share the order number for those?

Thanks

Wow, looking fantastic there. Glad you are pleased with them. Thanks for sharing your pics too.

Here's a direct link; and if you buy them from his Singapore store (as opposed to the US store, which mirrors the listing) less expensively.

Look really good in them all but I prefer the blue!

Hey guys,

That is where I got my Arena's from. I've emailed that guy a few times and he is super nice. Shipping takes ages but if you can be patient it is worth it.

He also recommended I use that ebay.sg store instead of his US one. Same products, same shipping just he doesn't have to factor in the exchange rate stuff.

PS - It is a pair of his Arena speedos that I'm wearing in my avatar/profile picture.

Thanks for the link - I feel an order coming on!

OMG that blue one especially is amazing! All of them are fantastic but the blue one is every bit what is wanted from a small asian cut Arena speedo.

BTW can we ask what size these are?

I normally wear a 32, and these are 34.

And I have a very fond memory of the early 90's when Tyr made truly 1" suits. I owned several and they were probably my favorite speedos of all time. There was a catalog called International Male that sold a special version of those suits with a lifeguard emblem:


All that to say that I've been searching for a similarly brief (and comfortable) suit for a long, long, time, and these Arenas totally fit the bill. I love the cut and especially the soft/stretchy material. I can't recommend these suits enough.
