The ZONE3 Performance Speed race suits have been designed with speed in mind – offering the highest performance, whilst maintaining an affordable price point. We worked hard to ensure every piece offers supreme fit, constructed from our hydrodynamic Aquaflo fabric that creates a super close second skin.
We believe that speed shouldn’t always empty the wallet. We set about creating a range that merges our technical expertise with years of experience in the water at an affordable price point. The result, the FINA approved ZONE3 MF-Xlite collection.
As the original inventors of buoyancy shorts back in 2007, we are proud that our first design is still going strong and are now called the 'Originals' to recognise their heritage. With over a decade of fantastic customer reviews behind them, they have helped thousands of swimmers to improve both their body position in the water and swim technique.
The 'Originals' are made from top Yamamoto Smoothskin neoprene and are stitched and bonded the same way as a triathlon wetsuit. The shorts are designed using 3mm neoprene down the centre for buoyancy and 5mm neoprene down the sides to promote hip rotation through each stroke.
HERE is a guide to choosing the right buoyancy shorts for you.
We invented buoyancy shorts back in 2007 to help improve our swim technique in a natural an efficient way. The original product was made using a 5/3mm thickness smoothskin material but due to their overwhelming popularity, we have now released a more buoyant and lower drag focused design called 'The Premium Option'.
Using 3mm Yamamoto #39 SCS on the front and back panels we have been able to produce a softer, lighter and more flexible fit, while the 5mm Aerodome side panels offer 30% more buoyancy than standard neoprene.
HERE is a guide to choosing the right buoyancy shorts for you.
