ZONE3 Mens Advance Swim Wetsuit

Explore the WSO Swim Guides here

The Zone 3 Mens Advance Wetsuit is a eco-friendly wetsuit perfect for swimming at high speeds. Stretch shoulder panels allow you flexibility, precision and comfort whilst swimming allowing you to freely move your arms helping you swim further and faster. AQUA-X coating is used to help increase your speed in the water by minimising resistance in the water causing a dragging feeling which slows you down. Buoyancy panels around the legs allow them to stay close to the surface of the water increasing speed and reducing fatigue so you can swim for longer.

The neoprene is made using naturally occurring limestone and scrap tyres allowing for less energy consumption in production. Waste neoprene from making the wetsuits are recycled into making more which helps to reduce waste making this product more sustainable.

THE DETAILS:

• Brand New 1.5mm Yamamoto #39 SCS Free-Flexshoulder panel design provides high levels of flexibility, comfort and efficiency with each stroke.
• 16% weight reductionversus the 2020 model whilst still maintaining the same levels of buoyancy and warmth.
• 10 different materialsused to ensure maximum performance, comfort and durability whilst still maintaining a low price point.
• No nylon panels or external flatlock stitchingto prevent water entry and improve speed and comfort.
• AQUA-X coatingsused to minimise drag and increase speed through the water.
• Smoothskin fabricused to prevent water from permeating the suit and weighing it down.
• 4mm core support buoyancy panelson the upper legs help to keep the legs towards the surface of the water and therefore significantly reducing drag and fatigue.
• High Visibilitypanels to help stand-out when in the water
• Slimline Pro-Speed cuffsoffer superior removal speed.
• Laser-cut collarprovides a comfortable ‘soft-close’ fit around the neck.
• Raglan sleeve panellayout offers increased flexibility to allow for greater stroke efficiency.
• Eco-Friendly Neoprenederived from limestone and scrap rubber tires reduces energy consumption and CO2 emissions by 200g per suit. The majority of neoprene production waste is recycled back into the suits, helping to minimise landfill waste and help protect the environment we train in.

TECHNOLOGY:

Yamamoto material:

• Speed: The aqua dynamic 'SCS' Nano coating applied to the neoprene creates almost zero drag through the water. A drag coefficient of just 0.021 compared with 4.0 for regular neoprene wetsuits. The SCS coating also prevents the suit from absorbing water, therefore avoiding excess weight in the wetsuit.
• Flexibility: A massive 480-580% in elongation, compared with human skin (underarm) which is just 60-70%. Superior flexibility and comfort with an expansion of 7x conventional wetsuit materials.
• Warmth: High heat retention: Keeping the body warmer in colder waters to help reduce body fatigue and improve performance.
• Eco: The neoprene is also derived from limestone opposed to petroleum which is more environmentally friendly.
