Agile Wetsuit

Independently tested by Loughborough University Sport, the Agile triathlon wetsuit made swimmers' strokes 2% more efficient than swimming without a wetsuit, at the same effort. Buoyancy panels on the upper legs lift your hips and legs, and a Speedflo coating over the whole suit keeps drag down. Over 750m that added up to a 2.5% faster swim and a 9% lower physiological load. Zone3's starting point for performance, built for open water swimming and triathlon.

Agile Wetsuit

WHO IT'S FOR 

Open water swimming and triathlon, across any race distance. 

  • Open water training through the season, in wetsuit-legal water 
  • Triathlon and swim events at every distance 
  • Swimmers whose legs sit low in the water and pay for it in effort 
  • Anyone who wants the suit off fast in transition 

WHERE IT SITS IN THE RANGE 

The Agile is Zone3's starting point for performance. Before it, the Glide is the first open-water wetsuit, built around easy entry and a gentler swim. After it, the Advance is the accessible performance wetsuit, moving to Yamamoto neoprene and an SCS coating for more stretch and lower drag again. The Agile takes the Glide's approachability and adds core-support buoyancy on the legs and a Speedflo coating across the whole suit, with no nylon panels on the outside. 

KEY BENEFITS 

1. You work less for the same pace. Core-support buoyancy panels on the upper legs lift your hips and legs, so you hold a flatter line without kicking to stay there. In independent testing by Loughborough University Sport, swimmers' strokes were 2% more efficient than without a wetsuit, with a 9% lower physiological load. 

2. Measurably faster. The same testing recorded a 2.5% faster 750m swim at the same perceived effort. A Speedflo coating over the whole suit, with no nylon panels on the outside, gives the water a smooth surface to pass over. 

3. Your stroke stays your stroke. The neoprene thins to 2mm at the shoulders, so the suit moves with your arms rather than resisting them. 

4. Out fast in T1. Slimline Pro speed cuffs let the suit come off over your wrists and ankles while your hands still work. 

5. Tougher where your hands grab. A Talon-resistant coating on the front of the legs takes the fingernail tears that usually happen when you pull a suit on. 

WHAT YOU'LL FEEL 

Pull the Agile on and the first thing you notice is that it is tight. That is correct. A triathlon wetsuit is cut for swimming, not for standing on a riverbank, and it will feel closer than anything else you own. Get horizontal and it changes. Your hips come up. Your legs stop hunting for the surface, and the effort you were spending on staying flat goes back into moving forward. Over the first few swims the neoprene softens to your shape.

YOUR LEGS STOP SINKING

Core-support buoyancy panels lift your hips and legs into a flatter line, so less effort goes into staying level. Loughborough University Sport measured 2% more efficient strokes than swimming without a wetsuit. Tech behind it: 4mm core-support buoyancy panels on the upper legs.

NOTHING FOR THE WATER TO HOLD

A Speedflo coating covers the whole suit, with no nylon panels on the outside to add drag. In the same testing, swimmers covered 750m 2.5% faster at the same effort. Tech behind it: ThermaLux 100 neoprene with a Speedflo coating over the full outer surface.

THE SHOULDERS STAY FREE

The neoprene thins to 2mm across the shoulders, so your arms move the way they do without a suit on. Tech behind it: Neoprene graded from 4mm at the legs to 2mm at the shoulders.

Key Features

INDEPENDENT TESTING 

  • Loughborough University Sport: Independently tested over controlled 750m swims with and without a wetsuit, at the same perceived effort, by three swimmers, with results averaged across all three. 

BUOYANCY AND BODY POSITION 

  • Core-support buoyancy panels: 4mm panels on the upper legs raise the hips and legs to hold a flatter body position. 
  • Graded thickness: Neoprene graded from 4mm to 2mm, putting buoyancy where the body sinks and flexibility where it moves. 

MATERIALS AND COATING 

  • ThermaLux 100 neoprene: Used across the suit, with no nylon panels on the outside. 
  • Speedflo coating: Covers the full outer surface for lower drag and added durability. 
  • HydroFlex lining: A soft next-to-skin feel that makes the suit easier to get on and off. 
  • Talon-resistant coating: On the front of the legs to reduce accidental fingernail tears. 

CONSTRUCTION 

  • Glued and blindstitched seams: Waterproof seam construction throughout the suit. 
  • 2mm shoulder panels: Range of movement through the catch and the recovery. 

FIT AND FINISH 

  • YKK back zip: With a pull cord you can reach behind you. 
  • Slimline Pro speed cuffs: At the wrists and ankles for fast removal in transition.

TEST RESULTS FOR THE Agile Wetsuit

Proven performance. Confidence from the first stroke. 

Independent testing at Loughborough University assessed how different wetsuit designs influence swim performance. Across a case study of three athletes — beginner, intermediate, and advanced — the Agile demonstrated measurable gains in speed and efficiency at the same perceived effort. 

Key Findings (Averaged Across 3 Athletes) 

+2.5 % faster over 750 m 

+2.0 % improvement in stroke efficiency 

–9 % reduction in physiological load (blood lactate) 

Interpretation:

As the entry-level suit in the Zone3 range, the Agile improved body position and reduced drag — helping swimmers move more efficiently through the water. The results, averaged across three athletes, show clear performance benefits at a consistent effort level.

FIT GUIDANCE

Snug everywhere, restrictive nowhere. You should feel the suit holding your body without pinching at the shoulders or compressing your chest to the point where breathing feels laboured. If you can't take a full breath on land, size up. If there's loose material across the shoulders or chest, size down. Air pockets at the lower back usually mean you need a longer suit, such as an MT (Medium Tall), not a smaller size. 

Size down if you're racing — a tighter fit gives you more from the suit's buoyancy and reduces water flushing. Size up if you're prioritising comfort for longer open water swims or training sessions where you'll be in the suit for extended periods.

Take your time the first time. Undo the zip fully and fold the top half of the wetsuit down, zip on the back. Start at the ankles and slowly work the neoprene up your legs in sections —don't try to pull from the top. Smooth out any air pockets as you go, particularly around the lower legs and crotch, before pulling the suit up over your torso. Reaching your hands towards the sky and helps to slide the arm sleeves into place. Use the pads of your fingers throughout, never your fingernails. The Silk-X lining will make this easier than most suits, but neoprene always requires patience on the first few wears. It will get easier as the suit breaks in.

Reviews

Muy buen servicio, y muy

"Muy buen servicio, y muy buena calidad del neopreno. Se ajusta a la perfeccion"

— Sergi F. (5/5)

Good for entry level, but struggled with durabilit

"Agile works well as a starting wetsuit if you are getting into open-water swimming, but long-term durability fell short for me. The material tore quite easily, particularly around the armpit and buttocks area. After just two summer seasons, the suit was essentially done and had to be replaced. To be fair, since this was my first wetsuit of this kind, some of the tears may have been down to my own learning curve in handling and putting on delicate neoprene. Still, replacing a suit after only two seasons wasn't ideal. It gets the job done as a accessible starter option, but you will need to handle it with extreme care to get good longevity out of it."

— Matas (3/5)

Entry Wetsuit great for beginner 70.3

"I bought the wetsuit to do my first triathlon (IM70.3). Wetsuit keeps warmth great and provided the right amount of buoyancy. I felt much more comfortable in open water wearing it. Size is comfortable, but not “pro race tight”. I’m 6’3”, 205lbs. The L was too tight to get over the shoulders. XL fits comfortable and is great for me. Could be tighter, but I’m in between sizes."

— Thomas B. (4/5)

Brilliant

"Im 5ft 2 and size 10-12 so ordered a small medium. Fitted really well. Helps so much with buoyancy and it has so far kept me warm!! Would recommend it especially if you are on the short side!"

— Tracie B. (5/5)

Agile women’s SM wet suit

"Good fit . Snug but but not restrictive when you start swimming. Kept me warm although water temperature still 18 degrees currently in October."

— Tamsin V. (5/5)

Impressed

"Haven't used it in water yet but the whole buying process with zone 3 has been excellent. Ordered an xl and it was too big so returned and exchanged for a large. The suit itself is excellent and fits perfectly."

— Iain M. (5/5)

Great quality

"Great quality, bit smaller than I would have expected. Recommend ordering big"

— Scott (5/5)

Very comfortable, flexible, and buoyant.

"Very comfortable, flexible, and buoyant. A bit snug even on a lean body, and sleeves are slightly short, so I'd recommend going for a tall size even if your height is on the lower end of the tall sizing guide."

— Ulziikhutag E. (5/5)

Tolle Produkte und ein top Kundenservice.

"Nur gute Erfahrungen mit Zone3. Der Neo ist fantastisch als Einstieg. Habe ihn mir für meine erste Mitteldistanz und zum regelmäßigen Freiwasser Training dafür gekauft. Macht gleich viel mehr Spaß - fast wie ein Cheatcode zum schwimmen."

— Tom H. (5/5)

Todo perfecto

"Envío super rápido, buena atención para seleccionar el neopreno que se ajusta a a lo que buscaba. Recomendable 100%"

— David S. (5/5)
