Vanquish Wetsuit

$739.00

The Vanquish has built the reputation as the fastest and most comfortable wetsuit on the market and is loved around the world by thousands of amateur and professional triathletes. Ironman athlete Tim Don loves the suit for its high levels of comfort and flexibility around the shoulders, and Sprint/Olympic distance athlete Non Stanford praises its speed and mega-buoyancy.

Don’t just take our word for it, the largest triathlon magazine in the US, Triathlete^TM, awarded the Vanquish ‘BEST IN CLASS’ award, followed by the ‘Best on Test’ award from the UK based 220 Triathlon in 2017. Triathlon Plus magazine stated the suit was ‘as close to perfection as you can get with a wetsuit and there really is nothing to fault’. With two of the top awards in the world, it’s easy to see why so many athletes have made the switch to the Vanquish to help get their performance to the next level.

Increased visibility in the water.

The Vanquish is something we are extremely passionate and excited about, we put everything we know and love into the design to make it the fastest wetsuit possible. It makes use of some of the world’s highest performance materials combined with a thoroughly researched panel design for maximum flexibility and balanced buoyancy.

Key Features Include:

1.5mm thick Yamamoto Premium #40 SCS used in the shoulder panel is one of the lightest and highest stretch materials available

Ultra-thin 0.3mm Yamamoto BRS SCS is the world’s thinnest SCS neoprene and reduces the weight and buoyancy of the arms. This allows a quicker stroke recovery after the catch phase and reduces arm fatigue during the swim, perfect for swims of 1.5km or more.

NBR is a buoyant material which is commonly used in life jackets. This material is sandwiched between two layers of neoprene to give extra support in the water when the hips start to drop.

Aerodome materials used on the front legs to help support the core leg muscles is designed with air bubbles built between the fabric layers to make it lighter and more buoyant, producing up to 30% more buoyancy than conventional neoprene.

39 cell SCS neoprene used on the glutes.

We work on new developments with Yamamoto as a chosen supplier because the neoprene offers fantastic performance features such as:

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.
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: Keeping the body warm in cold waters helps to reduce body fatigue and improve performance.
Environmentally friendly and buoyant: Derived from limestone rather than oil, the neoprene has a 23% higher closed-cell structure, increasing the buoyancy levels for the swimmer.

How To Measure

An ill-fitting wetsuit can cause discomfort and reduce the effectiveness of the suit. This guide will provide some tips and tricks on how to get the perfect fit for your wetsuit, so you can enjoy your time in the water to the fullest.

Getting the right size wetsuit is important as a suit that is too loose will let too much water into it and a suit that is too tight will make for an uncomfortable swim. We normally say if the suit feels tight on dry land, but you can move your arms comfortably then it’s a good overall fit.

Where body measurements can put you into a number of different sizes we use the weight as the deciding factor and although the height is significant, it is secondary to the weight.

More info on how our suits compare in fit can be found here

When putting on your wetsuit, undo the zip and crease the suit in half so you can step into the legs of the suit. Pull the suit on using the inside, fabric-side, of the suit to avoid damaging the outside smooth neoprene with your fingernails. Try instead to use the pads of your fingers. Also avoid rushing to put on as this will get you hot and the suit will be harder to get in to.

The seam on leg of the suit should run of the inside of the leg. The longer end of the leg holes should be aligned to the front and the shorter sides to the back. Be sure you move the neoprene in the legs up towards your crotch. Pull the neoprene in the arms of the suit towards your shoulders. Make sure not to use your fingernails at any point.

Hold the base of the zipper with one hand while using the pull cord to do the zipper up. Be sure the inner zipper panel sits flat underneath the zipper. If possible have someone help you do the zipper up. It is important to push your shoulder blades together so it is easier to pull the zip up.

The suit should fit snugly but not uncomfortably. If the collar feels too tight, be sure the suit is high enough in the hips and have someone help pull the back of the suit up through the zipper towards your shoulders.

When removing the suit undo the zipper before undoing the collar. Make sure you are holding the shoulder or body of the suit when you remove it.

You can follow these simple guidelines to ensure that your wetsuit stays in the optimum condition:

Rinse well in fresh water after every use.
Minimise time left in direct sunlight and aim to dry in the shade.
Dry inside out first and then dry outside.
Best kept flat and folded behind the knees and then in half, best stored in a cool place.
Only use a hanger for short periods of time and use as wide a hanger as possible.
Do not allow others to use your wetsuit. It has been fitted for your body shape and no body larger.
Avoid contacting the velcro with the inside lining of the wetsuit as this pull on the sensitive fibres. Keep the velcro covered with the fabric patch.
Ensure you do not damage the wetsuit material with fingernails.
Avoid use in chlorinated swimming pools.
Always use a plastic bag to help put the legs and arms on. The smooth surface of the plastic makes the suit go on easier. This results in less adjustments needed and less contact with the material to achieve the correct position.
The Zone3 triathlon wetsuit range has been designed to optimise performance during racing. Its use should be restricted to swimming or triathlon racing.
Don't put it in the washing machine or tumble dryer.
Don't iron.
Don't wash with detergent or bleach.
