Surely many of you who start in triathlon and you are going to participate in a competition that requires Neoprene to swim you have had many doubts when choosing yours.

En Triathlon News We wanted to try one of the first-price models indicated especially for what you start in this sport and that, on the one hand, you don't want to make a lot of outlay, but If you are demanding and want to have a good product, backed by a reference brand that confirms the high performance of it.

TRY: Zoot Z Force 1.0 WOMAN

Nothing else out of the bag, we were surprised by its careful design. It is true that it is something usual in Zoot, but not only at the level of external image, but we were surprised to see the perfection of its internal finishes, taken care of in detail with each seam sealed with reinforcements to guarantee its durability.

Once reviewed to the millimeter: we're going to try it! Perhaps the only thing I missed was a long handle in the bag to be able to carry it on the shoulder, instead of being held in the hand, but something punctual that is solved simply by sewing an additional ribbon.

Despite the heat, it was very easy to put on the neoprene, interior textile it slides easily through the body and, after throwing a little petroleum jelly to avoid chafing The water!

La Unbeatable feelingThe water was quite cold but this was not a problem, my body quickly balanced the temperature.

At the beginning of the swim, I could see that the neoprene was it slid perfectly echoing one of their main arguments, and that is that Zoot's wetsuits have a minimal friction 0,032 with a coating that improves the slip in the water.

Then I decided to try to swim without moving my legs, to check the buoyancy system Aqualift that provides maximum buoyancy by raising the legs and torso in the water in order to increase power and speed and effectively! he could swim calmly without moving his lower body! which gave me great peace of mind, since it is common for tendons to mount on the sole of one of my feet

Ready to go swimming alone in open waters!

Once this was done, I only had to prove that the system OKD "Optimal Kick Design" it was effective in ensuring greater kick effectiveness, flexibility, and efficiency. The truth is that at first, my legs felt “strange”, as if the neoprene was wrong. Then I remembered this, what happened is that the neoprene is designed in an anatomical way to facilitate swimming. I only needed a 100-meter swim to get used to this shape and start swimming easily in the water.

After swimming 2.000 meters I ended the adventure of the premiere, I just had to look for a shore to get out of the water and take off the neoprene. Pull the zipper and go!

In summary, my first sensations with Zoot Z FORCE 1.0 have been very good, a model totally recommended for anyone who wants to start in Triathlon or Swimming Crossings. If you scratch every second in competition or go swimming more than 3 times a week with wetsuit, it is possible that the choice of your wetsuit is a superior range from Zoot, but if you belong to 80% of triathletes, that we use it 1 or Twice a week and at most we do 2 or 3 competitions a yearZoot Z FORCE 4 WOMAN or… MEN! It is a great choice as it combines a good price with quality and high performance.
