Main Material

It's just as important to choose the right size of neoprene suit as it is to 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.

How to choose the right sized suit

Depending on the water temperature, wearing a neoprene suit for a triathlon is:
- Obligatory if the water temperature is under 16°C
- Authorized if the water temperature is between 16 and 24°C
- Forbidden if the water temperature is 24°C or above

Why wear a neoprene suit for a triathlon?

Yes, yes and yes! A neoprene suit provides more buoyancy, helps you glide, and keeps 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!

Is there any point in wearing my neoprene suit if it's not obligatory?

In the triathlon, the most-used swimming stroke is the front crawl because it is the most effective, but also the most efficient for saving your legs for the cycling and running portions.
However, particularly when you start out, athletes often choose the breaststroke for more reassurance. 
The Aptonia SD suit has the flexibility and horizontality to allow you to swim both strokes and thus provide you with complete serenity

Which swimming stroke can you use with the neoprene suit?

The inverted zipper helps get out of your trifunction suit for your first transition. Easy to take off with a natural upward movement.
The inverted direction also prevents your zipper being unintentionally opened during the swim phase.
