Swim brief, brand opinions

[David_NC]

I have some pool boy swim briefs and they are nice, and I one from Sluggers and Todd Sanfield. Has anyone tried THK Male? Some of their patterns look nice. Also, what about Budgy Smugglers? Theirs look nice also.

I love my Smugglers!

Another brand I’ve been recommended is Arena. They have some cool patterns, but are they more for sport or leisure? I don’t plant to swim laps, I’m more of a lay in the sand and relax person.

Hey, David! While Arena suits are made a little stronger for lap or competitive swimming (and not deteriorating in chlorinated water) they're also great for laying on the sand (or a chaise lounge!) and relaxing in the sun or just splashing around in the pool.

Typically they're lined in front which provides a bit of modesty for those who need or want it, too, and the material isn't as 'see-through' or sheer when wet as other types of swim briefs (Cocksox, Aussie Bum, Joe Snyder, etc) can be.

When I was on swim team in middle school and when I was in high school speedos were all I wore to swim in and to relax in the sun in.

I'll vouch for Arena also, as oldermuscledude said they are really durable and strong. I bought one of there Icon briefs about this time last year and it's still in great shape. My other favorite brand is Sporti by Swimoutlet. They have a variety of styles and patterns, but my longtime goto is their Euro Brief. They are good quality for the lower price point, I just wish they offered them in some more color options. Would love to see a pink Euro!
