Review on ๐Ÿฉณ Zone3 2019 Buoyancy Shorts 'Originals': Enhanced Performance with 5/3mm Thickness by Brian Garrett

Revainrating 1 out of 5

the belt quickly discolours and becomes unusable

light, they work perfectly as floating shorts. VERY tight at the beginning especially around the waist and crotch for a man. (They are unisex - they look like a woman's haircut). But it fits well (I have a 34" waist and pretty big quads from cycling, but the big one was the right choice). However, after about 10 swims (mostly in the pool, once in open water), the belt, which is made of a different material than the rest of the suit, has turned mustard brown and is pilling. He seems to be deteriorating quickly. I always rinse thoroughly in fresh water for a few minutes after every swim. So I will not buy your product again. The Xterra and Tyr buoyancy shorts have proven to be much more durable (and you can often find Tyr a lot cheaper than other brands, including Zone 3) I'd be less dissatisfied if I paid half the price, which is probably all they're worth.

Pros
  • delivery was very fast
Cons
  • crumpled
