What makes this an entry-level wetsuit is the extra buoyant materials. This might be helpful if you really struggle to keep yourself in a horizontal position. You can complete the swim without completely tiring yourself out from not only swimming but dodging other people and objects in the water. This is in a large part due to the fact that the company specializes in niche bodysuits for various endurance based competitions.

Its final feature worth mentioning is its form-fitting wrist cuffs. These are designed to support your arm stroke and prevent water from seeping into your wetsuit.

In this case, the Orca Core is actually a swim-run wetsuit. This provides some benefits, but one of the more interesting features in that it has a built-in whistle. While this is a requirement for swim-run competitions, it actually still serves as an excellent safety device for triathletes-especially those who are new to the sport. Design As we can see, there is no single product available that will be the best triathlon wetsuit for all competitors. Aside from the fact that the different triathletes have different personal preferences and areas that they need more assistance with than others, different triathlons may actually require you to use one type of wetsuit over another.

Features On top of helping you keep an optimal body position and technique, the wetsuit was created with wrist and ankle cut off patterns to ensure an easy transition to the bike.

It is actually a bit surprising to find, but the ROKA has arguably the most durable seams out of any product that we reviewed this is especially surprising how reasonably priced it is. First, this wetsuit actually features two different types of seams to ensure that they are extra durable. First, this wetsuit uses blind stitches to provide a sleek design that helps reduce drag. Then the seams are bonded to make sure that they do not come undone. The leg exits are also bonded to prevent over-compression. neoprene on the upper chest and shoulder area of the wetsuit to give your arms more flexibility and comfort. For the Arms Up technology, the wetsuit was made with the model’s arm up instead of their sides. This ensures that you can get the most mobility while you swim and the shoulder designed is supposed to help you save energy. Though it may not necessarily sit at the head of the class, Zone3 is no slouch when it comes to triathlon wetsuits. In fact, this brand is just as highly regarded as many of the other top brands, and this is likely in part due to the value that it provides. This entry-level suit has extra buoyancy to its already buoyant AQUAlift technology for those who really struggle with the swim.

Ideal for those new to triathlon, the additional buoyancy of this wetsuit aids stability and boosts confidence in the water.
