Spotted – Another zip-back Speedo

February 4th, 2010

speedo_zipbackWhilst browsing eBay, I came across zip-back Speedo swimsuit of a style that I haven’t seen before. The style looks generally like it may have come from the sculpture range that Speedo did. The material is the endurance type and the swimsuit is black with a lilac trim. A shame it was only available in size 32 – might have bought it otherwise, but I have a general rule not to only buy swimsuits of the right size!

If anyone has seen this swimsuit for sale anywhere, let me know!

An increasing range!

hydrasuit_navyAfter years of just black, Speedo in the UK now offer the venerable hydrasuit in a range of four colours: black (of course), sepia brown, blackcurrent brown and most recently, usa navy. The hydrasuit is one of the most popular single styles of swimsuits for sports swimming (as opposed to leisure swimming) and is also enjoyed by many men, having a fuller cut than typical strap based one piece swimsuits. The hydrasuit is an extremely flexible swimsuit that can also be comfortably worn beneath wetsuits or sailing gear.

For what it is worth, the Speedo hydrasuit gets my vote!
