Speedo The Speedo 1.5 Inch Swim Brief vs Speedo Solid EnduranceX Brief

Both are Speedo men's swim briefs with an internal drawcord and full lining, so the choice comes down to cut and fabric. The Solid 1.5 Inch is a minimal mini-cut brief in a nylon-elastane blend that owners say runs a size small. The Solid EnduranceX Brief uses Endurance+ Max fabric with four-way stretch and a compressive competitive fit, and it comes in a wide size range. Buy the 1.5 Inch for the shortest, most traditional racing cut. Buy the EnduranceX for a snug, durable training brief that holds up to daily chlorine.

• Choose the Speedo Solid 1.5 Inch if you want the shortest, lowest-coverage racing brief and prefer a soft nylon-elastane feel.
• Choose the Speedo Solid EnduranceX Brief if you train often in chlorinated pools and want a compressive fit in Endurance+ Max fabric.
