These have a closer fit than the classic midway brief. I like the high waist fit. They are comfortable. The leg bands are wider than the classic brief and I did find that they showed clearly through my lightweight suit, so maybe better for wearing under thicker darker clothes! They wash well and keep their shape. A good pair of pants for the colder weather.
I really like this design as the leg is both longer on the thigh, and fits tighter so doesn't 'ride-up' during wear.
My only negative comment is that the waistband good be more substantial - it tends to be both too narrow, and too flimsy.
If buying these pants be aware that the body is quite deep. I am 5'10 and quite slim. They sit naturally above my waist
Nice undies. Bought these at the Sloggi's I have bought for years are discontinued. Cheaper to buy and very comfortable.
