ES Collection men's swimwear - two great swim briefs

ES Collection men’s swimwear – two great swim briefs

May 19th, 2010

ES Collection is like many other men’s underwear brands in that besides their underwear range, including the Rocky boxer brief that I reviewed last week, they also carry a number of swimwear styles.

And swimwear is the talk of the town these days. The underwear community is buzzing right now with an abundance of swimwear guides and reviews as the different brands start to promote their new styles.

Also, my latest men’s swim wear poll is showing some interesting results. So far 75 of you guys have answered the question, “what type of swim wear do you wear to the beach?“.

27 % wear swim briefs
31 % wear swim trunks or square cuts
31 % wear board shorts
12 % wear either a thong or nothing at all

It will be interesting to see if these results will change as more guys take part in the poll. It could be cool to get a few hundred answers, like the more than 300 I’ve gotten so far to the poll “What type of underwear do men wear?“.

I was actually a little surprised that so many of you wear swim briefs or trunks since these are a rare sight on the beaches in northern Europe. Maybe it’s more typical in Southern Europe, South America (and Australia?)…

Either way, it’s a delight that so many of you embrace the swim brief style :)

Let’s celebrate by looking at two very comfortable and über cool swim brief styles by Spanish ES Collection. Both will be a fashionable and great-fitting choice for the beaches this summer.

ES Collection Racing Stripes Swim brief (style no 1017)
This swim brief is not your classic speedo style. From afar it might not look special, but let me tell you – it is. And in a good way.

The key feature of the Racing Stripes swim brief is the subtle, cup-formed padding that’s been sewn into the pouch of the brief. The padding is very discrete and gives your bulge an aesthetically beautiful profile with a slight enhancing effect.

I was very excited with the fit, look and feel of this style, and I hope to showcase it on the beach this summer. I especially like how the discrete padding prevents those “cold water” moments. And you can easily remove the padding if you feel you don’t need the extra enhancement.

Made from 80% Polyamide and 20% Spandex, the Racing Stripes Swim brief (“Slip Franjas Laterales” Style No 1017) is $75 and can be purchased from ES Collection’s own web shop.

ES Collection Sexy Cut Sport Brief (style no 1003)
For guys who prefer a pair of “regular” no-padding pair of swim briefs, I would recommend a similar, slightly low-cut swim brief. The Sexy Cut Sport brief, style no 1003, is an excellent option. Especially if you go for the trendy blue variant with accents in orange.

The ES Sexy Cut Sport Brief is also made from a standard swimwear fabric blend, 80% Polyamide and 20% Spandex. As it comes cup-free, it’s also slightly cheaper at $62,50.
