Review on REALON Neoprene Snorkeling Swimming Triathlon by Alberto Brewster

I like it! - Wetsuits

I bought the triathlon version. I haven't used it for a race yet, I was injured. I used it for practice swimming at Boy Scout camp. I felt like I was going much faster than usual when wearing this. I actually swam with a friend who is usually faster than me. The suit traps a bit of air and I think it helped flexing my legs a little so my technique was more efficient. I found it kept me warm while swimming in 70 degree water with 55 degree air temp, I was still well wet to walk the half mile in the fresh air to my tent. I'm 6ft 4in, 215lbs and chose XXXL for the right fit. I have another O'Neil wetsuit in size XL that I can also fit into. The O'Neil is short sleeved and only goes to the knee so is a much warmer suit. I was referring to this wetsuit mainly for size comparison.

Pros
  • Ergonomic cutouts for a good fit
Cons
  • No weapon
