I liked the men's stripe nylon suit for several reasons: it had a nice fit, the material was very comfortable and I liked the color. However, after about 2 weeks of use (swimming every day for about 1 hour), I noticed that the color was already starting to fade. I made sure to follow the care instructions by rinsing it out after every use and I never hung it out in the sunlight. So far, I must say that the material is keeping its shape and elasticity, just not the color.

I would like to confirm the previous reviewer's comment that the color on this suit (Navy Blue) faded very quickly. In addition I also found that the shape gets stretched and baggy fairly quickly, in spite of rinsing with fresh water after every chlorine exposure. In general, this doesn't seem up to Speedo's usual quality, but for the price ($17) it's a good deal.

In this particular catagory (square leg suits) the legs will normally be tight, so buy the correct size, don't be overly optimistic like you may with lycra. Nothing yet will ever not fade with chorine but on the other hand these fit better after being "washed out"
Nylon doesn't usually make a good drag suit, go with vented polyester, but they will be baggy instead of the snug fit you get with these. By the way, competition (racer) speedos are always the best, don't go for mis-applied modesty, you're at the pool, go for it!

My first speedo, got it as a joke, but now I dont want to swim in anything else!!

Good price, good material, good fit. Conservative swim suit, without
being baggy. Today's suites are an impediment to swimming. But must kids
do not know the difference. This suite allows plenty of movement and there
is no drag. Excellent product!

Light, and quick drying this is a decent suit for a casual swim. One caution is that it lacks ample room for those with bigger, beefy thighs, thus the first time I wore them I felt tightness and left "redlined."

The swim suit is tight around legs. So order one size larger. Otherwise it is a good product for the price.

as a gift- given to someone who is too old for the skimpy speedos...but these were too tight on the legs;(and not because legs were too fat) Other than that, they were fine.

Firstly, buy a size 2+ than your actual waist size. I got a 36 for my 34 inch waist, and it fits just right.
Very lightweight and comfortable. In fact, I am tad afraid that it might tear at any moment. But the fabric seems durable. Have used it a couple of times and it retains the color.

I am learning to swim, and this suit is perfect. It's not too tight or showy, but is compact enough to let me move freely. This suit is so light, it's like wearing nothing so to I can focus more on swimming. It's not cut to accentuate guy junk, so I'm not self conscious in or out of the pool. I tried about 5 similar suits of all brands and so far this is the best suit. It's also the least expensive. I've only clocked about 12 hours in the pool so far, but there are no signs of wear. This suit is so great I'm buying a second, maybe even third, so that when this one wears out (all things wear out eventually) I won't have to waste a month trying out other suits if they stop making this one.
