I talked to Sean (head of Aussiebum) recently and he informed me that they were coming out with new patterns coming out and new color combinations. The big sale is to thin out old inventory and get ready for the new. It is due out for the summer season (down under)

:) LOL - does he know those vests are still shrinking?

well i hope they bring back some of the classics..

the red/yellow/white pictured..
and the yellow/green they use to have

along with just the basic red classic non booster

i hate that they want to make them all be boosters

I dont own an aussiebum suit. Are they as roomy as they look? How do they fit in comparison to a speedo or Dolphin suit?

Aussuebum use nylon while Speedo use Lycra these days, nylon doesn't stretch the way Lycra does, so the suit is a roomy as it is cut while a Lycra suit will always appear skin tight.

fabric life
 

Yes, it is basically a simple engineering principle - that which is under stress at particular points or even all over (eg Lycra) will have a shorter life expectancy and the return to original shape will be possible less and less over time.

The durability of nylon is legendary and I would suggest that Lycra would show up better if the fine grades were avoided as cheap suits if not brand new will not always look so good in fit particularly when also carrying extra weight with the ingress of water.

Now I want to get one. I will say that the speedo endurance suits are troopers. I wore one today that Ive had for 4 years
