Ergowear Flex Pacific Swimsuit - A Men's Swimwear Review

Today is my first review for Menswear Review. I've been provided an Ergowear Flex Swimsuit – Pacific in size L (I am a 33 waist). While I'm not typically a brief cut swimsuit guy, I was quite impressed with this swimsuit. As you know, Menswear Review has published a number of Ergowear reviews including the new PLUS II line, X3D Bikini, Max Boxer, and more! The Flex Pacific Swimsuit receives great scores, just as the Ergowear men's underwear have.

Fabric: The suit is made of 80% Polyamide and 20% elastane fibers. The fabric was very smooth and comfortable on the skin, while at the same time flexible enough to conform to my shape.

Front: All of the Flex Collection items contain a horizontal elastic strap (about 1 inch wide) that lifts the genitals into the roomy pouch. This may sound uncomfortable just for a little more “show” but in reality it felt quite natural and provided an appropriate amount of support. The visual effect is just another bonus!

Back: The rear of the suit provided enough coverage for me, I do not like how some other brands have the extreme bikini cuts that barely cover and ride up the back.

Style: I liked the dark blue color scheme with the light pumpkin orange side panels. I normally do not wear this style of suit, preferring the more square cut or trunk style, but I must say I did enjoy the day at the pool while wearing this suit, and it was comfortable the entire day without pinching or pulling.

Craftsmanship: The stitching on the seams were nicely done and the different thread colors provided a nice contrast. The elastic support band was sewn into the side panels in such a way as not to “rub” the wrong way or cause any irritation. Overall I think the suit is well made and will maintain its colors without fading.

For more information about the Flex Swimsuit or any of Ergowear's line, checkout their site and online store.

RATING SYSTEM: 1=POOR, 3=AVERAGE, 5=SUPERIOR

Overall Rating	4/5	I usually prefer a square cut, but I certainly felt comfortable and enjoyed this suit
Fit	5/5	The support band was surprisingly comfortable!
Style	4/5	A little more revealing than I prefer, but loved the color scheme and support
Fabric	5/5	Very comfortable and flexible to conform to your personal shape and look good at the same time
Quality	5/5	Nice stitching on the seams and quality fabric makes for a nice suit

Size I Wore: L (I'm a 33" waist)

Ergowear Plus II Bikini, Brief and Boxer - Men's Underwear Reviews

Being a big fan of Ergowear, I wasn't sure they could improve my opinion - well they did!

Having written several reviews of Ergowear, I have found myself really enjoying their products. Known for their pouch designs, each of their ranges (X3D, PLUS, Max and Max Light) offer a wonderfully comfortable pouch. The PLUS line (Pouch Lifted and UnSeemed) features just that - a seamless pouch to lift your boys up and away to happiness. Like their other lines, the PLUS lifts things up and naturally out to avoid squashing and sticking as can be found with traditional underwear.

New this year is the PLUS II which is an improvement over last year's design. I've found that the material used is softer and more flexible and like the use of the waistband from the Max range - a wonderful mix. The PLUS II line is made from a quality cotton(90%)/lycra (10%)blend. The fabric in this PLUS II version is wonderful and a great improvement over last year's.

With the PLUS, you can position yourself up or down (see picture). While holding things up gives you a larger bulge, it wasn't something that I was used to and preferred to hang down. What are your thoughts - up or down? If you have experience with this position, let me know. (A) is the standard pouch and (B) and (C) are the PLUS pouch. The pouch in all three of my trials - Bikini, Brief, and Boxer, were all very comfortable and supportive. In short, BIG FAN of the Ergowear pouch.

In style, all three styles I tried - Bikini, Brief, and Boxer were quite handsome. In order to make the seamless pouch, however, Ergowear had to add some elastic around the pouch which leaves a bit of a bunched look; with the Bikini, this is minimized. An enhancement in style over last year is the of the Max range waistband - a handsome black waistband with white Ergowear.com lettering.

For rear coverage, I was pleased with all three. Sometimes bikinis can be a bit skimpy, but not with Ergowear. I'm pleased to report that all three had full coverage that didn't ride up at all. Definitely all-day comfortable.

In sum, a fantastic upgrade to a great range. Within the PLUS II range you should be able to find the style you like best. For me, it's a toss up between the three - Bikini and Brief in the summer, but like a Boxer in the cooler months.

For more info, check out Ergowear's site. Sizing is key so be sure to check out their sizing guide.

RATING SYSTEM: 1=POOR, 3=AVERAGE, 5=SUPERIOR

Overall Rating	4.75/5	Fantastic upgrade to a great range
Fit	4.5/5	Very comfortable all around
Style	4.5/5	You WILL get noticed in the PLUS pouch
Fabric	4.75/5	Comfortable cotton blend
Quality	5/5	Very well made, appreciate them being tagless

Size I Wore: L (I'm a 34" waist)

Ergowear X3D Bikini - A Review

4/12/2010 02:18:00 PM |

Edit Post

Ergowear's X3D, a brand known for its ergonomic pouch, is the focus of this review. I've reviewed Ergowear's Max, Max Light, PLUS, and X3D, men's underwear and will be reviewing their Flex swimsuit later this week. Each range has their strengths and am impressed by all of them!

Today's review is on Ergowear's X3D Bikini. The X3D is made from a polyamid/elastane microfiber fabric. The combination of the two allows for a very soft fabric (like soft silk) that is fast-drying and very breathable - creating comfort and usability for any condition of wearing (casual, daily, sports). The material doesn't absorb, it wicks the moisture away - keeping you cool and avoiding the wet/sticky feel. The cut of the X3D Bikini is true to its name - very skimpy.

While this is a very skimpy, is was very comfortable. What makes Ergowear so comfortable are their ergnomically designed pouches. The X3D features a 3D pouch which holds you comfortably while lifting your manhood away from your legs in a more natural, comfortable position. This design really helps with overall comfort and not feel squished like other brands sometimes do. With the pouch design keeping your boys away from your legs, you don't get the sticky feeling when the weather gets hot - really, very nice! The picture shows how things should hang (A is standard underwear and B is the X3D).

All in all, a great bikini from a great brand. I've worn these multiple times and keep them to the front of my underwear drawer. I can highly recommend these and have added them to my favorites.

Ergowear Max Boxer - A Review

Edit Post

The Ergowear Max Boxer is my latest review. As you know, I've reviewed several pairs of Ergowear lately and have been very happy with what I found! Well known for their 3 dimensional pouch, Ergowear's pouch lifts and supports your package in a natural, comfortable position. Figure A is the traditional pouch and Figure B is the Ergowear pouch - a clear difference.

The Ergowear Max Boxer certainly looks and performs like an athletic boxer. The boxer is ergonomically designed to provide a good fit - and it does. The pouch is in incredibly comfortable, as I've written before, but so are the legs and rear. I found the leg bands to be comfortable and keep the legs in place. Being a boxer, there is full rear coverage that sits comfortably on your body.

The Max line is made fro a cotton/lycra blend to perform as, well, performance underwear. The Max is a bit heavier of a material than the Max Light which aides in its performance as an athletic underwear. The blend was soft and comfortable and breathed properly. While I've written this as an athletic boxer it would be equally as comfortable for daily wear.

Another great pair of underwear from Ergowear. Again on my favorite's list and can highly recommend. Check out some of my other Ergowear Reviews and see the full collection at Ergowear's website.

Ergowear Max Light Midcut - A Review

Well, another Ergowear sample leaves me as a happy blogger. :-) This weekend, I reviewed the Ergowear Max Light Midcut boxer. Like the other Ergowear lines I reviewed, the Max Light Midcut features the awesome 3 dimensional pouch. The pouch is very comfortable as it lifts you up and out - creating natural comfort and support. The 3D pouch was very comfortable for my weekend pick-up game. The pouch, as I said, lifts you up and out. This really helps with supporting you but also with eliminating your testis sticking to your legs. (A) Traditional and (B) Ergowear's.

The Max Light is similar to the Max fabric - except that it's lighter. Made from a cotton/modal blend, the fabric was fantastic for my weekend sports - keeping things cool. Combining with the pouch design and fabric make this a great pair for the athletic guy. Now you don't have to be a jock to wear these. Before my afternoon game, I was wearing these out to brunch. The Max Light Midcut was very comfortable under a pair of pants and would also wear these as daily wear to work. Really, a multi-use pair of underwear.

I found the legs to be snug, yet comfortable. Again, this helped with the overall comfort during the game and when worn under jeans. It's nice that they don't bunch up or add bulk. The leg bands kept the legs in place and was pleased with how these sat on my hips.

Ovearall, a fantastic midcut boxer brief. Ergowear continues to be one of my favorite brands. You can read some of my other Ergowear reviews to find the style that works best for you. For me, I'd be happy with any of the styles or ranges in Ergowear's lineup. Check out the Ergowear website for pricing and other styles.
