ZONE3 ADVANCE W'S WETSUIT NEOPRENE WETSUIT

The Advance wetsuit has long been recognized as the undisputed best entry-level wetsuit on the market. After winning the "Best on Test" award, 220 Triathlon Magazine commented:

"The Advance wouldn't feel out of place compared to many of the mid-range products available at double the price" and that it was "a brilliant all-rounder that comes at a great price".

Building on these already elevated foundation blocks, the latest edition of Advance takes another huge step forward. Most notably, it now features the world's highest performing YAMAMOTO neoprene rubber. While maintaining its modest price, the Advance wetsuit is the perfect choice for beginner or intermediate swimmers looking for a comfortable, performance-oriented wetsuit for training, racing or simply exploring the open water.

Main features

The all-new Yamamoto #39 SCS 1.5mm shoulder panel design offers high levels of flexibility, comfort and efficiency with every shot.
16% weight reduction compared to the 2020 model while maintaining the same levels of buoyancy and warmth.
10 different materials used to ensure maximum performance, comfort and durability whilst maintaining an affordable price.
No nylon panels or external flat seams to prevent water entry and improve speed and comfort.

AQUA-X coatings used to minimize drag and increase speed in the water.
Smooth fabric used to prevent water from permeating the suit and weighing it down.
The 4mm core support buoyancy panels on the upper legs help keep the legs towards the water surface and therefore significantly reduce drag and fatigue.
High visibility prints to help you stand out when you're on the water
The Slimline Pro-Speed ​​Cuff offers superior removal speed.

The Laser Precision collar offers a comfortable "soft-close" fit around the neck.
The raglan sleeve panel layout offers greater flexibility to allow for greater running efficiency.
The eco-friendly neoprene is derived from natural limestone and uses waste tires as part of the manufacturing process to significantly reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions. Most neoprene manufacturing waste is recycled into the suits, helping to minimize landfill waste and protect the environment in which we train.

Advantages of a wetsuit with Yamamoto material:

Speed: The aquadynamic "SCS" nano coating applied to the neoprene creates almost zero resistance through the water. A drag coefficient of just 0.021 compared to 4.0 for regular neoprene wetsuits. The SCS lining also prevents the suit from absorbing water, therefore avoiding excess weight in the suit.

Flexibility: A whopping 480-580% stretch, compared to human skin (armpit) which is only 60-70%. Superior flexibility and comfort with 7 times the expansion of conventional wetsuit materials.

Warmth: High heat retention: Keep you warmer in colder waters to reduce body fatigue and improve performance.

Eco: Neoprene is also derived from limestone as opposed to petroleum which is more eco-friendly.
