Does the Trident Brief run true to size?

It has a compressive fit, so it feels tight. The brand recommends going one size larger if you are not using it for swimming.

Is the mesh see-through?

Yes. The nylon/spandex shell is sheer by design, and a polyester lining sits underneath.

Can I use it for triathlon or open water?

Yes. The drawcord and low-drag fabric suit racing and open-water swims, though the thin coverage gives little warmth.

How should I wash it?

Hand wash or machine wash cold with light detergent, then hang dry in shade. Do not tumble dry, bleach, or dry clean.

Can I return it if it does not fit?

No. For hygiene reasons the brief is not returnable; only damaged or faulty items are exchanged.

What is the fabric content?

The shell is 80% nylon and 20% spandex; the lining is 100% polyester.

Our take on the TRIDENT MESH BRIEF

The Trident Brief is a swim brief made in the USA from a sheer nylon/spandex mesh with a polyester lining. It is built for racing and lap swimming: the hydrodynamic mesh cuts drag, the hydrophobic fabric sheds water weight, and it dries fast. A drawcord and 2-inch hip coverage keep it in place during turns and dives. The compressive fit is tight by design, and the brand advises sizing up if you are not swimming in it. Against typical training briefs, it trades a little coverage and comfort for speed and minimal tan lines.
