Speedo Endurance should be made from : Fabric: 80% Polyamide 20% Elastane.
A Speedo Lycra suit should be made from a Polyester/ Elastane mix, not a nylon/Lycra mix.
The Speedo Swoosh should have the word Speedo above it, to me it looks wrong.
The Speedo text logo on the rear of the suits looks correct but is not often used.

With Speedos you may downsize but never upsize.

Another board member has complained about a low quality Speedo Endurance suit recently.

If these are genuine Speedo products there should be a little Speedo label between the 2 white labels showing size, care instructions and materials.
The back of this little Speedo label shows a bar code and a number.
The 2 genuine suits in my hand have the numbers: 00420 63092 (Filpturn Kapow, made in China), and 00300 85080 ( a suit from Australia made in Thailand).
These numbers relate to the factory where the garment was made.
If you suits don't have this label and numbers in this format then they are fakes.

A British Speedo Endurance should look like this: http://www.simplyswim.com/products/S...ief-Black.aspx

While the USA version is like this:http://www.swimoutlet.com/product_p/7884.htm?color=9325 (watch the video)
