Wetsuits

Vanquish


Not many suits live up to the hype but Zone3 has really hit the bull's eye with the Vanquish. Our testers were blown away by the look and performance of this suit.

As close to perfection as you can get with a wetsuit. There really is nothing to fault.

Triathlon Plus Magazine - 5/5 

Aspire


Possibly the most comfortable wetsuit we’ve ever worn. It feels like a second skin in the water, and because the arm material doesn’t go thinner than 1.5mm, no warmth is lost in order to gain flexibility in the shoulder panels.

Vision


It's no exaggeration to say that, once on, this suit blew our swimmers away. The fit was perfect – and water-tight – while pro speed silicon coated cuffs on the wrists and ankles meant it slipped on and off. Our testers particularly loved the single panel across the shoulders which gave unrivalled flexibility and tireless movement in the arms.

Flexible, comfortable and buoyant. Unbelievable quality at a bargain price.

Vanquish - Nicki Marsh


I absolutely LOVE this wetsuit!!! I have been wearing my current vanquish for a year now and honestly didn’t think it could get much more flexible! It also felt just as buoyant as the old vanquish and for such a thin flexible material the warmth was amazing, I wore this in a heated outdoor pool, the air temperature was only 5 degrees but I was super warm (and I am always cold!!!)

Triwear

Lava Tri Suit


Designed for long-course tri, this rear-zipped suit is the best all-rounder on test, outperforming the others in each discipline.

A fine-looking and top-performing suit.

Activate Suit


The silky, drag-less fabric of this suit makes it a joy to swim in and there is good built in support for the bike and run. Silicon grips on the inside of the knees were perfect at keeping the legs in place and our testers loved the shorter length of the shorts.

Triathlon Plus Magazine - 4.5/5

Aquaflo+ Suit


The Aquaflo+ has plenty of performance-orientated features for a sub-£100 suit... It fits the bill for longer races; with a comfortable 14.5cm wide chamois, wide leg grippers and plenty of ventilation across the back.

Swimwear

Prism 2.0 Jammers


We've found after numerous swims and washes that the fabric has completely held its shape and quality, with no hint of fade in the geometric pattern, which is just the right amount of busy without being too exuberant.

Quality jammers that are made to last.

Prism Strapback


The fit was comfortable and managed to exactly perfect the delicate balance of good looks with just enough coverage. The fabric felt good quality, with a strap-back design allowing full range of movement without digging into the shoulders.

Quality suit that just fits perfectly and performs in the water, plus we like the print! 86%

Buoyancy Shorts


These shorts place you into a position similar to wearing a wetsuit — just as a pool buoy might — but without the restriction of holding something between your legs. You wouldn't want to wear them for the whole session but to put them on for a pull set will encourage you to relax and improve your kick the wetsuit way.

Great idea and a useful addition to your swim-toy bag.

Goggles & Accessories

Volare Goggles


While you could be forgiven for thinking goggles might be an afterthought for a brand best known for wetsuits and tri apparel, that definitely isn't the case here: the Volares received universal acclaim from us and everyone else who tried them during testing.

A mightily impressive set of goggles that tick all the performance boxes.

Vapour Goggles


These shiny lenses don't just look cool – they're actually incredibly comfortable and functional, with super soft silicone gaskets and great visibility through the polarised lenses. The small knobs on each side make adjustments a cinch.

Triathlete Magazine

Attack Goggles


The grey tint works well on sunny days and isn't too murky on cloudy ones, while we like the mirrored effect for looking mean in races... The main thing with these is the comfort they offer though – the gaskets are super-soft and they don’t let a single drop of water in, even when pulled on in a hurry mid-ÖtillÖ race. 

Comfortable and reliable goggles, with a no fuss spec that just works.

Transition Backpack


The Brit brand have refined the traditional design in this 40L version, including a fleeced MP3 pocket with lead outlet and an internal waterproof and removable wallet for race licences - two brilliant touches. We've used this for years for pool runs with the kids and it provides some calm in the chaos, while the waterproof bottom compartment has yet to leak.

Some great tri-friendly upgrades make this a brilliant and affordable racing companion.
