If you're feeling serious about fitness swim or just want a great brief for lounging at the pool or the beach, you can't go wrong with Solar. Well constructed, durable material and seams, comfortable lining, and well-placed seams to be supportive, not constrictive. The one-inch sides provide great range of motion in the pool and lets you show off a little more leg on the beach. Truly the best brief, no question. I wear a 34 waist for pants and size up to a 36 for the right fit for me.
