Hi All

I’m a sinky legged swimmer ( much quicker with pull buoy than without ) so  looking for best wetsuit buoyancy and flexibility Vs price. I’ve narrowed it down to a Zone 3 Aspire or a Huub Aegis 3:5 -  I appreciate the Aspire has higher RRP but I have an option on some discount which would bring it in line with the Aegis.  Given that choice can anyone advise on which they think is best?

Many thanks

    Hi jht,

    Where are you buying from? If you're torn between two, is there anywhere you can get to that will let you test them both? A lot of it will come down to fit/flexibility and how well the suit fits you.

    I'm a sinky-legged swimmer too and I'd definitely recommend choosing a suit with more buoyancy in the legs, it does make a difference.

    Anyone else on here tested either of these suits?

    I'd follow the Lots of excellent advice above. EBay can also be a great place to get a bargain. I snaffled a 2xu x:2 for silly money given it had an RRP of '650'.
