Rating for this product: 3 July 20, 2009

i didn't like it,the belt strap hang too low since is strechy,it almost reach my knee,the waist is elastic making it too loose for high impact activities in the water,(you know what i mean,if you don't want to show your goods)ahh,the pumice grey color is not as dark as the picture.it's very very light,strechy and confortable,but i wouldn't recommended for swiming or nothing like that.ahh,i'm 36 and it didn't feel that long and i guess 34 would've been more tight preventing it from fall off
