breaker Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 Hi everyone, does anyone have any opinions regarding this wetsuit for open water swimming and triathlons?
Craai Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 I have the predecessor (s4) which has served me well through IM and numerous IM 70.3 & 5150’s over the years. Still going strong with no rips/tears. Quite buoyant although not as flexible as some other suits. Remember to add plenty of anti chaff around the neck area, I chaffed badly on my IM swim, but if you butter up your neck properly it’s fine
Chris_ Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 I have the Orca Sonar. Its about middle of the range. I find my shoulders get quite tired, quickly. And despite being a pretty average swimmer I would even say I'd choose more flexibility over the extra buoyancy. These things aren't cheap so put some longer term thought in when choosing one.
breaker Posted January 12, 2018 Author Posted January 12, 2018 Exactly, they are not cheap to start with, which makes it even harder as budget is always tight.
