Description

The Advance Wetsuit has long been recognised as the undisputed best entry-level wetsuit on the market.After winning the‘BestonTest’ award, 220 Triathlon Magazine commented:

‘The Advance wouldn’t feel out of place against many of the mid-range products available at twice the price’ and that it was ‘a brilliant all-rounder that comes at a great price’.

Building upon these already lofty foundation blocks, the latest edition of the Advance takes another huge step forward. Most notably, it now features the world’s highest-performing YAMAMOTOneoprene rubber. Still maintaining its modest price tag, the Advance wetsuit is the perfect choice for beginner or intermediate swimmers looking for a comfortable and performance-focused wetsuit for training, racing orsimply exploringthe open water.

Benefits of a wetsuit featuring 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.
