Well made, good quality fabric, clean stitching details, and I like the style. They are tight fitting, sleek, so I might try a size up next time for a little more room and comfort... after all I'm a casual swimmer / body-surfer and not worried drag ;-) 

Disappointed. Feel like I’m wearing bikini bottoms with no material covering my buttocks. Bought 6 pairs and 3 are so tight I can’t wear them!

Not sure why Speedo has taken the super small, super tight, un-flattering design change as of late. For starters, I have to inexplicably go up four sizes from a 32 to a 36 for these to even look remotely right. Second, the days of the breathable, flattering, body conforming lycra of Speedos from the past are over. I guess I'm wearing recycled PVC or something. Can we just make a swim brief and not have to throw morals or politics into it? I think it's a great design, but the material simply falls flat. If you are generally more muscular in the rear these aren't the best choice. I had to cut out the back liner just so they'd fit somewhat properly.
