So. Fucking. Hot.
 
Why is the guy on the left wearing 2 pair of Speedos? Is it something to do with water polo?
Yes, good guess, it has to do with water polo. There's so much aggressive grabbing and tugging in water polo that it isn't uncommon for swimwear to be torn. Occasionally you'll even see a player with swimwear that was torn during a match.

Speedo and other brands used to sell rubber-coated or PVC-coated suits for even better protection. Some people like the shiny look of PVC water polo suits, so eBay is loaded with them.

(edit) This site answers a similar question Rio Olympics 2016: Why do water polo players wear headgear, Speedos?

I kind of looks like a Charlie by Matthew Zink design and might not be available anymore.

Since this is a thread about Speedos, here are a few examples of Speedo and speedo-style water polo trunks...

Here's an eBay seller modeling a vintage pair of PVC Speedos, which suggests water polo trunks have evolved into fetish wear instead of sports wear these days...

Below is a set of PVC-coated Speedos from another ebay auction.

I used to own Arena water polo briefs like the briefs below. The PVC coating was a bit like leather armor, which made them really snug.
