Most buoyant wet suit?


Henley 1

Recommended Posts

My Zoot Fuzion served me well, but it is approaching retirement now.

 

What “brand and model” wetsuit will provide the most buoyancy from hips to feet – for a swimmer with sinking legs?

 

Where do I buy that in Gauteng.

Thanx

Most buoyant definately a tractor tube.

 

If his legs are sinking, you may find that the tractor tube is around the waist :whistling: :whistling: :whistling:

My Blueseventy has lasted me 4 seasons now, going to try squeeze another season out of it :thumbup:

 

You can call Blaine at Action cycles in Pe 041 5816499 and he would be willing to discuss where you can get one in JHB and will also offer you good advice on buying a new suit

 

Hope this helps

google total immersion. I strugled with "sinking legs" as well until I made some corrections to my technique. Do you have a weak kick? if so, again, check out TI

My Xterra Vortex suit feels pretty buoyant. This thicker panels in the front of the chest and legs feel like they do the job really good.

On diving. My wife and I are going to Mauritius end August.

 

Never dived before. Worth getting into? Worth spending the money on lessons here in JHB?

 

Or will snorkeling suffice?

The 2XU suits are pretty good, I think cyclelab sells them. On sinking legs this is a technique issue that you really need to sort out. Swimming in a suit to address this issue is like riding on training wheels
