    Hi All,

    I currently swim a few times a week with a tri club at intermediate level and the time has come to get some new shorts.

    Is there a "material" difference between knee length togs and the shorter James Bond style ones?

    I'm not looking to spend big money and was wondering if fashion is the only thing to consider here.

    Cheers

    Skimpy briefs, for the committed potato-smugglers amongst us.

    Personally I go for Speedo Endurance Jammers. They last for years and retain their shape and colour.

    James bond togs are the boxer sized ones,in between the classic speedos and the jammers, bicycle length ones, I find the Jammers can balloon out doing breastroke
    speedo endurance are the longest lasting and are available in all three styles
