What I thought of the 3G Olympia Brief Swimwear?

The 3G Olympia Brief Swimwear is both sexy and sporty at the same time.  If you are looking for something that offers a strong athletic look then this is the swimsuit for you.  The low rise speedo cut is flattering and the color combination (mine is white, red and blue) gives the brief that 'Olympia' look. 

3G doesn't skimp on the design or on quality (you get what you pay for).  Some design details that you won't see in pictures are the quality seams, the material which is well selected, the drawstring which isn't bulky or cumbersome like some swimwear. But my personal favorite detail, instead of 2 layers of spandex up front or no additional layers at all, 3G hit the perfect solution with a mesh under-layment in the front pouch.  This gives you the feel of only one layer of fabric but helps make the suit not be too revealing (if you get my drift) it also helps with the length of time this suit takes to dry after getting out of the pool or ocean. 

What Brady thought of the 3G Rookie Squarecut Swimwear?

The 3G Rookie Squarecut is sleek and sexy. If you like getting attention by the pool but like to keep high style and fashion at the same time the Rookie will give you both.  This is a low rise squarecut with bold coloring (mine is red) and contrasting stitching.

 

Like Max I'm very impressed with the quality and design of 3G.  The Rookie has some unique design details with a wider waistband, a small pocket on the right leg with velcro closures (perfect for a key) and for a little extra flair - four eyelet holes on the anatomical pouch. I also liked the mesh inner lining in pouch something I haven't seen in any other swimwear.  All around a truly designer men's swimwear item!

Hi Michael,

The sizing on them seemed to be right on we are both mediums (32" waist) and had no sizing issues. The only issue I had was with the Olympia because it didn't have a pouch it did seem to be a bit tighter up front but not so much as to be a sizing issue. Hope this helps you!

Thanks for reading,

Max

How does the sizing run? I maybe wrong but is this a division of Gregg Homme? I found in the past I couldn't even fit into an XL. Some companies just make stuff too small - I wish there was a better way to have a universal sizing system. What sizes did you try for your review and what do you usually wear? Thanks
