\u00a3120<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>
The Hydron 2.0 is a budget suit that\u2019s very hard to fault. <\/span>The construction is durable, the fit true to size and the visual design \u2013 for a circa \u00a3100 suit \u2013 is decent enough. Into the 36m-deep waters of Vobster Quay in Somerset, and the buoyancy is surprisingly moderate for an entry-level suit thanks to the 3mm thickness on the hips and 2.5mm on the thighs (usually this thickness can be up to 5mm). <\/span><\/p>\n
We\u2019re a leg sinker but still managed <\/span>our second fastest lake splits in the Hydron,<\/span> even if the 2mm back\/arms thickness and flexibility understandably felt less flexible than the \u00a3215 2XU. The zip\u2019s a standard bottom-up affair, while removal is swift thanks to the calf panels. Water ingress, <\/span>meanwhile, was minimal.<\/p>\n
Verdict: <\/b><\/span>A sequel that easily <\/b>betters the original and is hard to <\/b>fault for triathlon beginners <\/b><\/p>\n
Score: 87%<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a3264.50<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>
Aqua Sphere\u2019s 2021 wetsuits have blown us away so far, and the Pursuit V3 continues to impress. The recipe is just right with the \u2018Aqua Drive\u2019 core panel consisting of 4mm 38-cell Yamamoto neoprene, the 3.5mm legs holding us up just enough for a streamlined position, and the 2mm thickness \u2018Bio-Stretch Zone\u2019 across the arms and back allowing for a silkysmooth arm stroke. There\u2019s no chafing thanks to the Aqua-Flex collar seal, though we did endure some water ingress via the back zip. It certainly kept us warm for an hour in 10\u00b0C waters and was second only to the Zone3 Advance in terms of removal speed.<\/p>\n
Verdict: With top-quality tech, this is a clear winner for entry-level triathletes\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
Score: 90%<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a3199<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>
Updated for the 2021 season, this latest version of the Advance is claimed to be 16% lighter and more buoyant than its predecessor. The 4mm buoyancy panels along the legs certainly helped our form in the water and we had a decent range of movement in the arms. We like the stylish design with reflective detailing, while the wide silicone arm and leg cuffs made the suit the fastest to take off on test. It ticks the sustainability box, too, being made from limestone-derived 39-cell Yamamoto neoprene, rather than from petroleum. There was no chafing, but the neck and legs felt a little short for our cold springtime test waters. Though fast to do up, the zip did allow water ingress, which isn\u2019t ideal in colder temperatures.<\/p>\n
Verdict: A comfy and stylish suit with adequate buoyancy, but a little short on the legs\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
Score: 86%\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
Blueseventy Sprint ~~\u00a3199<\/del> \u00a3150<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n~~Buy now<\/strong> from Wiggle (\u00a3150)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>

\u00a3199<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>
The Sprint was among the snugger size medium suits on test and, after an hour in the water, we found it pulled our lower back a little, so watch sizing.<\/p>\n
Those stretchy blue jersey panels under the arms feel a touch basic compared to the full neoprene construction of others on test but, coupled with thin 1.5mm neoprene on the outer arms, allow a wide range of movement. You also get stretchy calf panels for quick removal and the 3-4-4mm buoyancy pattern gave us a good body position. The bottom-up zipper and rolled neck, although bulky and high at the back, prevented water ingress, as did the cuffed sleeves.<\/p>\n
Verdict:<\/strong> <\/span>Some nice features, but <\/b>the sprint now feels dated\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
Score: 72%<\/b><\/p>\n
