220 Triathlon Best Value Womens Wetsuit
£ 119 The Prime stands out in this test thanks to its inclusive sizing range, with additional ‘ wide ‘ options to appeal to a larger variation of body shapes. The suit is made to provide ‘ warmth, flexibility and buoyancy ‘ and it’s one of the warmest on test. The 4/3/2 buoyancy profile is ideal for sinky – leg swimmers and those looking to save energy . The 4mm smooth skin neoprene along the legs provides a huge amount of lift, while the 2mm neoprene along the arms allows for plenty of flex during the swim stroke. As with all the suits on test, the YKK zipper is smooth to use and the suit is fairly quick to whip off. The Prime’s geometry isn’t best – suited for breaststroke swimming, as the back zip and garage ride high and dig into the back of the neck when lifting the head. There is no degeneration along the seams, making up a well-rounded
thought-out, budget suit.
