Speedo Men's Standard Swimsuit Brief Endurance+ Solid Adult

I feel like some people (especially frequent swimmers) writing reviews here have gotten counterfeits or something. I can understand if a non-swimmer thinks they're too small even if they're not but most who have left those reviews have a lot more miles in the pool than I do, so I trust they've gotten something unexpected. However, I've worn a few Speedo brand suits (all with different fabric blends) and they've all fit about the same.I'm in my 50s and at the upper end of "healthy" BMI -- and that's due not being a buff gym rat, but to carrying a little extra fat. I'm being descriptive here for the purpose of discussing fit. I'm not fat enough to have "love handles" or muffin-topping except a little bit at the kidneys -- I don't have a gut hanging over them. I bought these in the same size I would buy underwear or jeans. They're definitely snug, but not too small - if I order again, I will not be ordering larger. They SHOULD be snug, that's the point. They're stretched when I'm wearing them but there's no "struggle" required to put them on/off. Fabric feels a little more like a t-shirt or polo shirt than most Speedo fabrics - it feels like cloth rather than silk...but I only notice while I'm in the act of putting them on. Once I'm in the pool, I can easily forget I'm even wearing a suit.There is less stretch than some of their fabrics. Most noticeable if you try to stretch them vertically. Waist/leg holes are quite stretchy. The panels themselves considerably less so. IMHO they stretch "enough" but some will prefer more spandex, even at the cost of shorter life in chlorine.I'm currently at about 85 wearings on them, in a well-chlorinated pool, at 45-60 minutes each wearing. They've been in the pool...whirlpool....and even sauna a few times. They still look and feel like new to me - no fading, pilling etc. I'll probably grab a backup pair soon for when they eventually do give out, but I don't see that happening for months yet.

Simple black color - it was the cheapest and fit in with my swim team's suit colors. Really comfortable, and stretches. Good to put in the wash if you'd like, but most of the time I never did. Never experienced any skin irritation or problems with this suit (but never did with any other suit) and is a good cut (will cover everything you want, and it looks very normal). Good for very extended use (my experience with Speedo Endurance+ is amazing, they can last many, many years with no issues), and the ties work really well to keep everything tight on you. Great buy.

Great color, feel & fit was as expected

The suit arrived early, but the packaging was very banged up. Luckily, the suit itself seems to be fine, no pilling or damage that would suggest it’s a used suit. Out of the box, they feel premium, not as much like spandex as I expected, and the brand label is actually embroidered, which was another bonus! I like the black color, I’ve never had swim briefs before but I wanted to get a solid dark color so as to stand out as least as possible.For reference, I am 5’10”, 175ish lbs. I ordered a 34 (size M on the packaging) and it seems to fit as intended. I haven’t swam in it yet so I’ll have to update later after I do, but when dry, the leg holes are a little snug, not cutting off circulation but tight. Everywhere else fits fine though there’s only a bit of stretchiness. I’ve heard they loosen up a little when wet, so that’ll be nice.

I have been swimming for over 40 Years and have used Speedo Endurance swimsuits during the past 25 or so years. They hold up extremely well. I am not a competitor swimmer and swim only for the exercise. During the summer months I swim a mile a day and have had these last the entire season with any major wear. We are talking around 90 days in a row. I have had the same pair going into the beginning of the Winter months where I only swim miles 4 days a week. Half a year for a swimsuit taking this kind of use is pretty good. I've used the normal Competition style which does not last as long or have the durability of the Endurance style. In a nutshell it is worth the extra penny for the Endurance style.

My husband got these for swimming. He is a big guy and the long swimming trunks get shredded because he has thick thighs. I am sure he appreciates me saying this. He says these fit well and are true to size. They have lasted quite awhile and are holding up really well. He typically swims about 30-40 minutes three times a week in a really chlorinated pool. Overall great product.

I've been using this suit a few times a week in a chlorine pool for about a year now and it's holding up nicely. The fit was a little snug to start out, but in a supportive rather than an annoying way and I never had any chafing, pain or irritation. The suit has held up without any apparent wearing of the material or areas that have thinned out. The one region that has started to fail (perhaps as expected) is the elastic in the waistband. The stretch has started to go so that it doesn't cinch nicely around the waist. With that said, using the drawstrings more than makes up for that and the suit would be perfectly useable without the waist elastic all together. After all, the claim about endurance really has to do with what the suit is made out of than the rubber elastic in the waist, which will inevitably lose stretch over time with chlorine exposure for the same reason regular elastane suits will also deteriorate with use faster than suits like these.
