Review on NeoSport Podium and Jane Sleeveless Triathlon ๐ŸŠ Wetsuits for Men and Women: Unleash the Champion Within by Mark Sutovsky

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Pleased with my purchase. The fit is great, the lift is great, the launch is fast

The fit was as expected. I found the wetsuit comfortable in my first triathlon. It didn't restrict my movements at all and provided great lift. The wetsuit provided the warmth I needed to race and the buoyancy I was looking for. Getting in and out was hassle-free during the transition. I stripped off my suit in less than 10 seconds after watching the post race footage and timing. I like that it closes (compared to a zipper). This makes it very easy to put on and take off. The 3/4 ankle length looks ridiculous but helps avoid snagging on the time chip (usually around the ankle) when undressing. My swim times were faster than expected so I'm not sure if this wetsuit deserves all the credit or if it was my training and diet (or probably everything) but I was happy with it. The neck isn't too tight, I really felt the shape and fit was great! A final word to clarify other reviews here: It's a wetsuit. no dry suit. Many other reviews mention that the wetsuit "leaks" and water gets in. Of course yes, because it is a WETSUIT! In a wetsuit you will get wet. Wetsuits work by letting water through, your body heats the water and that warm layer of water keeps you warm. That's how they work, so people who think they'll stay dry have never used a wetsuit before. However, a wetsuit that lets water through or lets through too quickly is problematic. This suit didn't let the water through too quickly. Anyway, I was up to my chest in the water before I felt it start dripping and it's amazing! This is the speed at which the wetsuit must pass through water. But letting water through is part of the design! So don't listen to people who say it "leaks". You don't know how wetsuits work.

Pros
  • nice thing
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
