Land’s End Active Swim Brief
I’ve kept my eye on this Lands’ End Active Swim Brief, since spotting it on their site back in March. It’s more conservative cut then I would really like to wear. But Lands’ End is known for quality clothing and I decided I needed some conservative swim brief to maybe get into wearing them more. I thought the color layout of the gray and black with the white and bright green accent on the side gave it a bit of character over a solid colored brief without making it too loud. Near the end of summer I saw the price of this drop quite a bit and I was toying with just buying it, but that didn’t come a reality until my wife decided she wanted to order some things.
Now on with the review. Overall it is a decent swim brief. I like that the fabric is a lighter lycra blend and has some stretchiness to it. The fabric is a 78% polyester and 22% lycra along with a UPF 50 sun protection. The front is fully lined and has a flat drawstring. Pretty much a flat front full coverage with a little bit of a center seam at the bottom of the pouch for a tad of contour. It has the Lands’ End lighthouse logo on the left front hip in gray. Definitely a full back swim brief. The sides are a 3 1/4″. The swim brief is made in Sri Lanka and is to be hand washed and line dried. Hopefully these will play a hand into me wearing swim briefs more often.

*Really it is an overall good swim brief just not my style, so that is really the only reason for one thong up.

These have a nice design and nice colour combo. As you say it’s good to have a spectrum of swim briefs ranging from conservative to skimpy bikinis. I’m sure these would be fine to wear in any public pool. Good to go with a darker colour too.
