Review on 🏊 Synergy Men's EpicSpeed Neoprene Sleeveless Top: Optimized Triathlon Wetsuit for Open Water Swimming by Aaron Franklin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Best of all, DOESN'T BLOW

This is my first wetsuit vest (I use it with TYR pants) for triathlon. I became addicted. I no longer have to fight in full wetsuits. The arm and neck openings are padded for full freedom of movement. And most importantly: NO SHAKES. I swam 5 miles with a vest in my first training session and never injured myself. Wow! Going to the bathroom nervously before the race is also not a problem once you've put it on. My swim splits are the same with the vest + wetsuit and with my full wetsuit. It pulls up a bit when you start swimming and some water hit the back of my head, but none of those things affected its performance. It fits snugly on the butt to keep the water from splashing around your butt. I would like to mention that I am 6ft 1in and 152lbs and received a size large even though the size chart says medium. I've had bad experiences in the past where the averages from several different companies have been too short/narrow. I'm glad I did as the Large works great and suits my long torso. The flash works perfectly. When it's dry it goes like any shirt, no problem. When wet, it rolls off easily like any wetsuit. I can even sell my whole wetsuit now, I like the vest and button idea better.

Pros
  • SUITABLE FOR ALL LEVELS - USAT, WTC, Xterra and Ironman approved. The athlete supports.
Cons
  • Legacy model
