Description
The Zone3 Advance Mens Wetsuit has long been recognised as the undisputed best entry-level wetsuit on the market. After winning the ‘Best on Test’ 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 YAMAMOTO neoprene 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 or simply exploring the open water.
Key features
- Brand New 1.5mm Yamamoto #39 SCS Free-Flex : shoulder panel design provides high levels of flexibility, comfort and efficiency with each stroke.
- 16% weight reduction: versus the 2020 model whilst still maintaining the same levels of buoyancy and warmth.
- 10 different materials: used to ensure maximum performance, comfort and durability whilst still maintaining a low price point.
- No nylon panels or external flatlock stitching: to prevent water entry and improve speed and comfort.
- AQUA-X coatings : used to minimise drag and increase speed through the water.
- Smoothskin fabric : used to prevent water from permeating the suit and weighing it down.
- 4mm core support buoyancy panels: on the upper legs help to keep the legs towards the surface of the water and therefore significantly reducing drag and fatigue.
- High Visibility: prints to help stand-out when in the water
- Slimline Pro-Speed cuffs: offer superior removal speed.
- Laser Precision collar: provides a comfortable ‘soft-close’ fit around the neck.
- Raglan sleeve panel: layout offers increased flexibility to allow for greater stroke efficiency.
- Eco-Friendly Neoprene: is derived from naturally occurring limestone and utilizes scrap rubber tyres as part of the production process to significantly reduces energy consumption and CO2 emissions. The majority of neoprene production waste is recycled back into the suits, helping to minimise landfill waste and help protect the environment we train in.
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.
