The Lomo Prime wetsuit has long been our pick to recommend to swimmers who fall outside of the usual size range of wetsuit brands. And here, the new Nuotare makes wetsuit-wearing even more accessible. Borrowing the same fit as the Prime and coming in an impressive 16 (women’s only) sizes, the suit can accommodate swimmers of most heights and weights. So what makes the Nuotare different? Put simply, it has lost the smoothskin coating found on most swimming wetsuits and replaced it with a super-flexible stretchy outer material that makes it ridiculously easy to pull on and very comfortable to swim in. Sizing is generous, with this UK14 tester testing and still finding it too big (sizes start at XXS). Other swimmers told us they tried a few sizes before getting the perfect fit, but that Lomo was very helpful and quick to replace suits. Once in the water, the suit did behave differently to a normal swimming/triathlon one as, without the smoothskin, the suit did allow water to creep in. So a good option for shorter or less chilly swims, with great size options.
