Wore it last weekend and wasn't impressed. While it seemed a perfect fit trying it on, in the water it seemed to stretch too much and the rear part of the suit kept folding over if I swam too quickly (which isn't that quick). Rather embarrassing.

So I won't be wearing that again. Should have foreseen that as I've had Adidas suits in the past and they've never quite cut it.

Have you got a pair like these?

Adidas Briefs are no longer sold in the US but I have several pair of these in various sizes I got cheap ($4.99 ea) on a closeout. They are the Classic Adidas swim brief, I think.

Iv noticed that a long time ago about Adidas suits, had the same problems with mine and notice the pics of Ton Daley how the Adidas suit designed by Stella Mcartney for the games seem to sag on him.

The fit is not that different from the aqux, but your butt will be completely covered. This is a size 30 Adidas, and a Sm Aqux. Try the 28 if you want a lower fit still.

Unhappy

That's disappointing for you Bede about the swimsuit. It looks great in the picture but obviously didn't perform well. Any possibility you could exchange it because of its poor performance in the water and if the company will allow it then you can size down?

Default Adidas fit

Linking Bede/Sebbie/Louis I have not been a great fan of theirs either.
Sebbie refers to the black "classic" which is what I call Tom Daley's "workaday"
suit and it usually looks OK on him.
As for the Stella McCartney Olympics team creation however I have never seen that
as a really good fit on any of them . Stick to Speedo guys - I've always thought those are best for you !

Sebbie, you wear both suits well! Can you show the back of each too? How transparent does the white get on that Aqux suit?

The Aqux uses a fairly heavy fabric. Shouldnt be too transparent.

Expect the Adidas to give you full butt crack coverage...can be worn in any situation. The Aqux is designed to show about an inch of butt crack, if sized correctly at the waist..thats part of the skimpy Asian look and if a guy thinks he is uncomfortable with that the Aqux is probably not the right choice. The photos here provide a pretty good indication of the actual coverage in the rear.

If you want more coverage in back, you could size up to a Large

way colorful suit http://www.aliexpress.com/item/2014-...846810233.html
Ive had good luck ordering through aliexpress vendors, but expect 3-4 weeks to US. The Asian designs are way unlike anything you would find in the US
