Ryke Swimwear
Hi All,
Just wondering if anyone has purchased from a brand called Ryke Swimwear. Their products look pretty good and I like the choice of classic or racer (lower waist) cuts. Wanted to know what fabric and sizing of their speedos are like

Re: Ryke Swimwear
They do look good! Well, except the leopard skin ones. They're an Aussie company from Perth too. Are they a new business?Asics87T wrote: ↑Sat Oct 23, 2021 11:21 pmHi All,

Re: Ryke Swimwear
Is this an aussie brand? looks nice. good to see we are getting so many local smaller brands.

Hi Mazda,
Yes it is - ordered from the last night on a whim and will post some photos when they arrive. In hindsight should have got something more plain

Re: Ryke Swimwear
I have a pair from Ryke and I can’t recommend them enough. They didn’t stock my size but they were so helpful in sorting it out for me. I am a huge fan of the Aussie Brands of swimwear. Budgy Smuggler and Ryke I love them both. Also find Ryke Swimwear true to size.Asics87T wrote:Hi All,

Love speedos, running shorts, rugby shorts, Aussie rules footy shorts.
Re: Ryke Swimwear
I would love to try as I like the cutting and the designs, but they are a bit too pricey for me.

Re: Ryke Swimwear
They are along the lines of Budgy Smuggler with pricing of around Aus$60 plus shipping Aus$26. That works out to £32.70 for the trunks and £14.20 for shipping. But they are a nice pair of trunks.

Re: Ryke Swimwear
Wow the shipping cost is almost half the price of the trunks!! But I understand that shipping anything out of Australia is terribly expensive.Speedoaddict wrote: ↑Mon Oct 25, 2021 10:46 pmThey are along the lines of Budgy Smuggler with pricing of around Aus$60 plus shipping Aus$26.

Re: Ryke Swimwear
I must admit, I thought the same when I had seen the price in GBP but to be honest these are a brand who I will only purchase from if I save up for a pair and I want them really bad.speedoluv wrote:Wow the shipping cost is almost half the price of the trunks!!

Re: Ryke Swimwear
Hi guys,
The order from ryke came in - I chickened out and got plain black instead of the white print.
The fabric quality is excellent and lined both front and rear in a slightly shiny material.
Sizing is a little larger than the comparable Adidas briefs (both size 30 see below)although the cut is the same (low waist). Probably won't keep as i prefer it a bit more snug.

They actually look quite good on you, sits low too.Asics87T wrote: ↑Thu Oct 28, 2021 6:59 pmHi guys,

Are they big at the back?
Re: Ryke Swimwear
Not big at the back, or at least the same as the Adidas suits i have - took a photo for comparison (Adidas suit has some green on the side)

Re: Ryke Swimwear
This actually looks good on you! Some suits are a bit tricky to fit, I have to admit. They could be a bit too big or a bit too small, and it can be annoying when the fit is not perfect.
Re: Ryke Swimwear
Thanks speedoluv- sizing is an issue, I think the sizing for Ryke is actually on point, its just that all my other suits run small!
Probably would not keep the suit i just have but would not say no to another Ryke suit in the future (smaller size perhaps)

Re: Ryke Swimwear
Ah so you generally prefer your suits to be tighter...next time you should downsize then
Are you going to to return it and request for a smaller sized one?
Re: Ryke Swimwear
Like the proportions of the cut and width of the sides. Aussies know what works for swim briefs. I'd probably downsize to get the butt to fit right. I almost always have to do that....:::sam:::... wrote: ↑Sun Oct 24, 2021 2:17 amThey do look good! Well, except the leopard skin ones. They're an Aussie company from Perth too.
