As autumn comes in, the thing that ends a swim stops being fitness and becomes body temperature: get cold and the stroke shortens, the hands stop gripping the water and you are out well before you meant to be. This suit exists to push that point further back. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen water swimmers carrying the season through autumn and winter \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTriathletes training outdoors outside the race season \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwimmers who have found thermal suits too stiff to swim properly in \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone whose swim length is decided by warmth rather than fitness \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHERE IT SITS IN THE RANGE\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Thermal Advance is the cold-water option alongside the Advance, with a fleece lining, longer arms and legs and a rolled collar added for warmth. It runs thicker throughout, 2mm to 5mm against the standard Advance's 1.5mm to 4mm. If you swim mostly through spring and summer, the standard Advance is the lighter suit and the better choice; the Thermal Advance earns its place once the water drops and swim length starts being decided by how warm you stay. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKEY BENEFITS\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1. You stay warm where it counts. \u003c\/strong\u003eA Heat-Tech plush fleece lining is positioned around the key organs and core muscle groups, trapping a layer of air against the skin so body heat stays close to where it is produced. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2. The swim lasts longer. \u003c\/strong\u003eExtended arm and leg lengths carry coverage further towards the hands and feet, the first places to lose heat and the first to make you stop. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3. Less cold water gets in. \u003c\/strong\u003eA double-sided SCS rolled collar sits closer at the neck than the standard Advance, reducing the flush of cold water that cools you from the inside. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4. Your stroke stays free. \u003c\/strong\u003eYamamoto #39 SCS neoprene through the shoulders and arms keeps stroke mechanics intact, so the warmth is not paid for in movement. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5. You still move cleanly through the water. \u003c\/strong\u003eSCS coating on the shoulder and arm panels reduces drag to a friction coefficient of 0.021, so the extra material does not cost you speed. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHAT YOU'LL FEEL\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe inside is the first thing you notice: soft against the skin rather than slick, and warm before you have even reached the water. Once you are swimming, the cold arrives more slowly and never quite settles at your core. Your hands and feet stay useful for longer, which is usually what decides when a winter swim ends. Your arms move the way they do in July, so it feels like swimming rather than enduring. Getting out, you are warmer than you expected to be. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBUOYANCY AND BODY POSITION\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5mm torso and upper leg panels: \u003c\/strong\u003ethe thickest zones in the suit run through the core and upper legs, supporting body position through the water as well as warmth. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSTROKE MECHANICS\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYamamoto #39 SCS shoulder and arm panels: \u003c\/strong\u003epremium neoprene through the shoulders and arms for unrestricted stroke movement. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPEED AND DRAG\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSCS coating: \u003c\/strong\u003edrag-reducing surface treatment with a friction coefficient of 0.021. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCOMFORT AND LINING\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeat-Tech Plush Fleece Lining: \u003c\/strong\u003esoft internal lining positioned around the key organs and core muscle groups, trapping air to hold body heat. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDouble-Sided SCS Rolled Collar: \u003c\/strong\u003erolled neck construction that reduces water entry compared with the standard Advance. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExtended arm and leg lengths: \u003c\/strong\u003eadditional coverage towards the hands and feet. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCONSTRUCTION AND MATERIALS\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMulti-thickness build: \u003c\/strong\u003efour thickness zones from 2mm to 5mm, thicker than the standard Advance throughout. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSCS upper back and cuff panels: \u003c\/strong\u003ecoated panels across the upper back and at the cuffs. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ZONE3","offers":[{"title":"S","offer_id":57753932104061,"sku":"WS26MTADV101\/S","price":474.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"ST","offer_id":57753948619133,"sku":"WS26MTADV101\/ST","price":474.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"SM","offer_id":57753948651901,"sku":"WS26MTADV101\/SM","price":474.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"M","offer_id":57753932136829,"sku":"WS26MTADV101\/M","price":474.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"MT","offer_id":57753948684669,"sku":"WS26MTADV101\/MT","price":474.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"ML","offer_id":57753948717437,"sku":"WS26MTADV101\/ML","price":474.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"L","offer_id":57753932169597,"sku":"WS26MTADV101\/L","price":474.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"XL","offer_id":57753932202365,"sku":"WS26MTADV101\/XL","price":474.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"XXL","offer_id":57753932235133,"sku":"WS26MTADV101\/XXL","price":474.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0039\/0434\/0032\/files\/thermal_advance_mens_wetsuit_front.webp?v=1788787097","url":"https:\/\/zone3.com\/en-row\/products\/mens-thermal-advance-wetsuit","provider":"ZONE3","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
