M80 Tan Through Pouch Swim Brief vs Jack Adams Sheer Bikini Brief

The M80 is a tan-through swim brief built for sunbathing and pool use, with a roomy pouch and chlorine-resistant fabric. The Sheer Bikini Brief is a low-rise underwear-style brief in sheer striped mesh, rated 4.7 from 14 ratings, with a lined pouch for support. Choose the M80 for actual swimming and tanning; choose the Sheer Brief for looks and light wear. Owners of the Sheer Brief call it comfortable and nearly weightless, but some say it feels like netting and is not for public showing.

  • Choose the M80 if you want a swim brief that lets UV-A through for tanning, resists chlorine, dries fast and has a roomy enhancing pouch.
  • Choose the Sheer Bikini Brief if you want a low-rise, see-through mesh brief with a lined pouch for a bold look, not for lap swimming.

What reviewers say

Jack Adams Sheer Bikini Brief

  • 4.7 / 514 ratings

Buyers rate it highly for fit and comfort, calling it nearly weightless and sexy for date night. Several wear it at the pool and like that it dries fast and leaves no tan lines. The main complaint is that the mesh feels more like netting than soft sheer.

Questions and answers

Which is better for swimming laps?
The M80. Its fabric is chlorine resistant and dries fast, and it is cut as a swim brief. The Sheer Bikini Brief is a fashion brief and its care label says no chlorine bleach.
Which gives a better tan?
The M80 is made for tanning: its fabric passes UV-A rays and blocks most UVB, roughly like SPF8. The Sheer Brief is see-through, so sun reaches the skin, but it offers no UV filtering.
Which has more support?
The Sheer Bikini Brief has a lined pouch, which holds more than the M80's unlined roomy pouch. The M80 is built for room and contour, not compression.
Is the M80 worth stepping up to over the Sheer Brief?
If you swim or sunbathe, yes. The M80 adds chlorine resistance, fast drying and tan-through fabric. If you want a bold low-rise look for light wear, the Sheer Brief is the simpler pick.
Which lasts longer?
The M80 is likely to hold up better around pools because it resists chlorine. The Sheer Brief's fine mesh is more delicate and should be washed cold and dried low.
How does the M80 fit?
It runs snug with low stretch, and the maker advises ordering one size larger for a looser fit. The Sheer Brief is a low-rise cut with 4-way stretch.
