They definitely are very sexy suits. I have never purchased one myself, however seen them on others and quite amazing I should say.

I would check out Mate-Gear as well.

They certainly have Aqux but achieving a suitable translation from the Japanese is not always easy and runnerguy wishes to purchase somewhere in the is anyway.

There was some discussion here as to whether the Aqux suits available on Web sites surch as aliexpress.com are authorized by the Japanese company that apparently owns the trademark at least in Japan. The complicating factor is I dont think Aqux is a US registered trademark, in which case another company, say in China, can sell a suit with an Aqux brand name without violating US copyright law.

This gets pretty complicated. Even the Speedo company that sells that brand name is not really the same company that sells Speedo in the US, and the suits are often very different in design.

The Aqux suits I have ordered from aliexpress such as http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Aqux-...649398301.html

have all been of excellent quality. They fit very tight, and low in the back, but that is the whole idea. You pay for these using Paypal, and the money is held by Aliexpress until you receive the merchandise, typically in 3-4 weeks

We are told that genuine Aqux suits are made only in Japan and that those made in China are fakes. The Japanese Aqux suits are really expensive while the Chinese one can be bought cheaply on Ebay.
Even the fake ones are nice!

I an new to the board. Hi all from Texas. I have order two of these Aqux suits from the link provided. They are cheap enough to try. I just received an Adidas 3 strip black from the UK. It is a nice suit and worn it this past weekend at the hotel when traveling.

Tex

Default black Adidas

Welcome new member yesterday and hope you will be pleased with Aqux.
You are in good company with your Adidas three stripe which is what Tom Daley always wears when "off duty" (I use the term to describe occasions when he is not required to wear Team GB and/or Olympic colours and patterns for sponsors when in competition).
