Default Speedo XD SKIN

Has anyone here seen these or even tried them?

If so what did you think?

So, now you're 96 cals short. You're now in starvation mode. Doomed.

Looks like nice stuff if you're at a level where a $110 suit will make a difference.

Not the FSII stuff, the XD SKIN stuff the short is $68. Although that being American may put it out of my price range as I really want inexpensive more that super cool right now.

Those are cool...will you order me a pair at the same time? Like E. says, you can get a decent pair of tri shorts for $40. Mine have lasted about three years although I need some new ones. The fabric is wearing thin on the back side and I'll be pulling a 'plumber's smile' soon.

$40 might translate to more up here though, although I see our dollar closed at above .90 so I might need to look at ordering out of the states, although I am still unsure of size. the pair of "L" from Oomph I tried on were way to small.

If I do look at on-line ordering, any recommendations?

I bought my first pair - De Soto - from here, but they were only $40. The TYR would probably be fine as well.
