I purchased these as a gift for a friend who is very happy with the shorts. They've helped with swimming position allowing the legs to elevate in the water instead of dragging resulting in more efficient swimming. They are tight fighting so I had to up size to get the right fit.

Used twice now in ocean swim definitely get the hips high, haven’t tried in fresh water but expect the same. Size guide put me at medium, fortunately I went for large following other reviews. I wear size 32 in most shorts and jeans and the large is perfect. 179cm 72kg.

Fit and performance of these is top tier. My technique sessions have become a lot more productive with the extra buoyancy these provide. I am able to focus on other parts of my stroke, breathing, and mechanics as I continue to learn and improve my freestyle. Very snug fit as I have large quads and went with a medium, but once I learned how to put them on starting with the shorts inside-out, it became a breeze. Would definitely recommend!

Slide through the water with ease. Very tight fit but work well.

Awesome wearing these and not requiring a pull buoy .

Super comfortable and gives you so much more freedom and flexibility in the pool. Only problem was when I put them on for the first time I had the long drawstrings hanging down and the cat thought it was Christmas. Anyway neoprene glue is on the way. Cheers guys, love your gear.
