Like any other sport, engaging into triathlon also entails good techniques in the game. Endurance and speed are important factors of the competition thus, it is important to find good equipment and gear for the sport that will enhance your endurance or your speed.

When it comes to wetsuit choices for your triathlon competition, it is always wise to find a brand that makes wetsuits exclusive for the sport, as it is often focused to the needs of the sport. Because there are too many brands in the market, it could also help to identify which of these brands are for triathlon and which among the triathlon wetsuit brands are the best.

Ironman, now called Blue Seventy wetsuits, is one of the popular lines of triathlon wetsuit in the market. Blue Seventy’s Helix model was also hailed as 2009’s Best Triathlon Wetsuit of the Year.

Blue Seventy’s Helix wetsuit features separated panels of neoprene on the arms that allow greater movement without pulling against the rest of the neoprene panels of the suit. This technological advancement in Blue Seventy’s Helix wetsuit is called the torsional stretch technology (TST). The Helix wetsuit also has reverse zippers, quick exit legs, which is just ideal for triathlon, and multi-stretch cuffs. This wetsuit is indeed made to achieve good triathlon performance.

Another big brand in the market when it comes to triathlon wetsuits is Xterra. They take pride in their latest line of triathlon wetsuits and their high-quality Japanese neoprene material that allows maximum flexibility for the user. Vendetta, their new model of triathlon wetsuit, also features individually cut panels to allow greater flexibility for the triathlon athlete. Their latest line of triathlon wetsuit also claims to be the fastest in the market as it contains more buoyancy panels and air pockets for increased buoyancy, thus increasing speed during open water swimming.

The best triathlon wetsuits indeed are those that are products of extensive research and careful studies about the demands of the triathlon athlete when it comes to the perfect wetsuit for the winning performance.
