This Speedo has an interesting and less than flattering cut on the sides. The material feels cheap and itchy. Whats with the polyester I think it is. Feels like the cheap nylons I use for drag. Im a competitive swimmer and will be returning this. Not what I want I in a racing suit maybe a lounge suit. Speedo is my suits of choice but lately the material has been weird, might need to go to TYR
