| How to choose the right size of suit |
It's just as important to choose the right size of neoprene suit as it is too choose the right model.
The neoprene suit should be worn just like a second skin without feeling oppressive, and should provide you with freedom of movement.
We designed this Aptonia SD suit with slightly shortened cuffs to make it easier to take off. |
| Why wear a neoprene suit for a triathlon? |
Depending on the water temperature, wearing a neoprene suit for a triathlon is:
- Obligatory if the water temperature is under 16°C
- Authorised if the water temperature is between 16 and 24°C
- Forbidden if the water temperature is 24°C or above |
| Is there any point in wearing my neoprene suit if it's not obligatory? |
Yes, yes and yes! A neoprene suit provides more buoyancy and helps you glide, as well as keeping you warm.
Depending on your swimming level, you can generally expect to reduce your time by between 1 min 30 and 3 minutes over a distance of 1,000 m.
So it will be a precious help even over short distances! |
| What about the zip direction?It is reversed, is this normal? |
We chose to add a zip that opens "normally" (i.e. opens from top to bottom and closes from bottom to top) to facilitate dressing unaided, particularly during training. |
