A look at the wetsuit brands worn by the top-10 swimmers at the 70.3 Worlds in Taupo

Want float and flexibility? This might be your suit.

The top of the line sailfish is very nice. But the third from the top, half the price, is very compelling.

This brand’s new wetsuits are underpinned by two revolutionary ideas: unisex sizing, and fair pricing.

Just like vacation rentals, refrigerators and spouses, your best wetsuit is out there. Finding it is the problem. (It might be a T1 by De Soto.)

Three or four companies made tri wetsuits in the 80s. First among the next generation was Orca, making wetsuits for a quarter century now.

Let’s talk about wetsuits, the one you might buy or the one you now own. Wetsuits’ll make you faster, More comfortable, and safer. Or not.

It takes a lot for a wetsuit to surprise me (good or bad). I usually know the score. Here’s ROKA’s Maverick Pro II.

There are 20, maybe 30 wetsuit companies all making their suits the same way. Here’s an outlier that certainly deserves your consideration.

The cold waters of Sweden in April were the perfect testing ground for the blueseventy Thermal Helix and Markus Roessel put the suit and various accessories to the test.

The case is lower (small b), but the quality is high. blueseventy is one of the top 3 or 4 wetsuit brands that matter most in triathlon.

A number of wetsuit makers rediscovered the art of glue & blindstitch patternmaking, and went further in neck and back design. ROKA is a case in point.
