Advance Wetsuit
Key Features
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.

"Looks good, slightly expensive but not awful value. I would expect a slightly more durable product that has a better tailored fit for the cost. Overall I used it for my open water swim and it worked well. You will need to buy good chafe protection though because it can leave very painful rashes, especially on your neck. Repairs."
"Only worn it once so far, found it to be comfortable, non restrictive, didn’t chafe and kept me warm so couldn’t be better."
"Love the fit and flexibility when out swimming"
"Compré este neopreno para renovar el antiguo, lo mejor? La extremada facilidad para ponérselo, es espectacular. En seco y solo con la ayuda de una bolsa queda como un guante. Guía de tallaje correcta y la recomendación del modelo por parte de Zone3 ideal. Transporte rápido. En resumen 10 de 10 en producto y en atención y servicio"
