TECHNICAL INFORMATION

How do I choose the right wetsuit size?

Choosing the right neoprene wetsuit size is just as important as choosing the right wetsuit.
A neoprene wetsuit should feel like a second skin, with no feeling of oppression. And it should give you freedom of movement.
We've deliberately designed this Aptonia SD wetsuit with slightly shortened sleeves and legs, to make it easier to unthread.

Why wear a neoprene wetsuit in triathlon?

In triathlon, depending on the water temperature, neoprene wetsuits must be worn:
- Mandatory if the water temperature is below 16°C
- Permitted if the water temperature is between 16 and 24°C
- Forbidden if the water temperature is greater than or equal to 24°C

Should I wear my neoprene wetsuit if it's not compulsory?

Yes, yes and yes! The neoprene wetsuit not only provides thermal protection, but also helps you to float and glide better.
Depending on your swimming level, you'll generally see a gain of between 1min30 and 3 minutes over a distance of 1000m.
Even over short distances, this is a valuable aid!

What kind of swimming can I do with my neoprene suit?

In triathlon, the most commonly used stroke is the crawl for reasons of efficiency and also to preserve the legs for the bike and run sections.
However, particularly when you are a beginner, it is common to want to swim the breaststroke for reassurance.
The Aptonia SD wetsuit, thanks to its flexibility and controlled horizontality, allows you to swim the 2 strokes for maximum peace of mind.

Why an inverted zip for this combination?

We've chosen an inverted zip to simplify unzipping the neoprene suit during your first transition. By allowing you to move more naturally from bottom to top, unzipping is much easier.
What's more, this zipper direction will prevent "unintentional" opening by other competitors during the swimming part.
