Aussiebum 1.5 Classic arrived

[Bikiniman]

I find the aussie bum 1.5 nylon suits great for the pool. I like the 'loose" rather than the classic. I like the look of the loose when wet, and how the "booster jock" holds everything in a tasteful bulge...very comfortable. I have lever heard negative comments, and have gotten quite a few compliments.

Only white or the very light blue show when wet, but even they drain dry so fast, you really don't need to be concerned.

I've become an Aussiebum fan, starting with my first one, 1.5" titanium loose in 2011. A coincidence, but I'm wearing it now. Unfortunately, AB has discontinued the basic styles I like best, especially the stripes. (See my profile for my red stripe AB). I've worn them all at hotel pools, just fine, including St Augustine, Fla this summer, and a local hotel "pool of opportunity" regularly. Certainly the "ice" and white colors are nearly transparent when wet - I know from my Club Noosa!

For laps at the public pool and to the Jersey (US) shore beach with the family, I wear a Tyr racer. Some curious looks; some smiles at the beach, but all fine.

The AB thin loose material feels great.

I've ditched mine as a tear developed in them after about 4 outings. Always thought the thinness was bit dodgy...

Some good advise in this thread!
