KIT REVIEW: Lomo Nuotare 3/2mm Ladies Swimming Wetsuit
#AD – Product for review
Reviewed by Kumbi
This wetsuit from Lomo is designed for outdoor swimming – while not quite as technical as some triathlon suits, it’s much more durable and resilient to tears, and so suitable for most outdoor swimmers. It’s designed with inclusivity in mind, offering an impressive range of 16 women’s sizes. As someone who often struggles to find wetsuits that fit comfortably, I was thrilled to discover a brand that caters to a broader spectrum of body shapes.
SIZE AND FIT
The Nuotare wetsuit features a super-stretchy neoprene material that was so much easier to put on than other wetsuits. The generous sizing allowed me to find a good fit as I have curvy hips, thighs and a generous chest and bum. The wetsuit also has some nice features, such as a long zipper with a cord for easy on and off, a smooth skin collar to prevent chafing, and a small pocket on the leg for storing keys or other essentials.
PERFORMANCE
Once in the water, I noticed that compared to my more traditional triathlon style wetsuit, more water found its way inside the wetsuit. However, the combination of 2/3mm neoprene did an excellent job of keeping the cooler temperatures of the late autumn and early spring at bay. Yes, the suit might not be as fast as a smooth skin wetsuit, but the trade-off was worth it for the comfort of a wetsuit that actually fits my body. It is suitable for a wide range of water sports activities, including swimming, open water swimming, triathlon, paddle boarding, kayaking, and bodyboarding. The wetsuit is also easy to care for, as it dries quickly and can be rinsed with fresh water after each use.
PRICE AND VALUE
At £125, the Nuotare wetsuit is a great option for people who don’t want to spend too much on a wetsuit. For those of us who aren’t aiming for high-speed swimming, this wetsuit offers an affordable and comfortable solution.
In summary, the Nuotare 3/2mm Ladies Swimming Wetsuit by Lomo is perfect for curvier swimmers who want both comfort and performance. Lomo’s commitment to inclusivity shines through and should be applauded.
RRP £125
