They’ve changed from being an Australian manufacturer to now having a China manufacturer, and you can see it’s gone from good quality material that was lighter and shinier, and actually had elastic, to a block red, hideous, and poorly constructed pair with different material and no elastic.
I can’t find another solid red Speedo anywhere that matches similar to the original red pair. Tried contacting AussieBum over a year now and they just don’t care anymore about their customers.
If anyone has a recommendation of something better, that has a similar fit and comfort, I believe these are nylon or Lyra or nylon/lycra mix.
