Chaussettes en néoprène

If you’ve ever worn ill fitting socks, you are part way towards understanding the discomfort and frustration faced by many owners of swim socks, which fill with water and easily slip off. By increasing the length of the sock, so it could be tucked into the wetsuit, ensuring there was no exposed skin and adding hook and loop fastening to keep the sock in place we solved the problem, a simple solution, but an industry first!

Gants en néoprène

The body’s extremities always feel the cold the most, so the primary function of the ZONE3 open water Swimming Gloves is to keep your hands insulated from the cold making off season and chilly swims more manageable.

After testing most swimming gloves on the market, we found that they nearly all started ballooning with water during swimming and started to slip off the hands. A design solution was found by increasing the length of the gloves, so they can be tucked over or under the wetsuit, ensuring there was no exposed skin and adding a hook and loop fastening to keep the glove in place.
