No experience with the Zoot but familiar with the B70 and the Zone3. If it were me, I’d go with the Aspire. I tried one when I was buying (ended up going with the Zone3 Vanquish). It has the same one piece shoulder/chest piece that their top end Vanquish does, just with a slightly less flexible rubber than the Vanquish. Basically it’s 90% of their top end suit for 50% of the price. Based on your budget, I think it will be the most flexible and fastest suit from your list

Your speed matters a lot, sometimes you need to be very fast, where sometimes you need to breakdown your speed.

I don't have experience with any of the suits but I have been using some version of the BlueSeventy Helix for many years now and they make great suits.

Specifically, the Fusion has some nice trickle-down technology built into the suit like 1.5mm neoprene in the upper chest, shoulders, and arms giving you maximum comfort and range of motion. I think Dan should write a piece on these mid to low-end suits because they seem to be incorporating a lot more of what is in the high-end suits. Regardless if you are ordering direct from BlueSeventy and want to save 25% you can find the discount here.

Thanks for the code... I too am on the cusp of a new wetsuit purchase. I know the Helix has big love from both personal experience and some actual performance tests done by forum members. I have also seen a few posts that say the fastest suits for regular people (above average, but far from FoP) may be the 2nd tier products. So, I am super curious which ones could be the best between suits like the Aspire/Pro II/Reaction/Wave 3/etc.

So, I am curious which of the penultimate suits folks deem as best and why. I have a Zone 3 now, so the Aspire is a strong candidate. But, I have seen big love for the Reaction and Pro II that could sway me.

Just replaced a Zoot prophet that tore before/during a race with a blue seventy... Quality in the blue seventy is far above the Zoot... Stiching and seams are much better

Those of you that had the Zone3, how did you find sizing?

Currently looking at the aspire size MT. Height is up to 6,3, and i'm 6,4, but im guessing its better to stretch it there than in the lbs category?

that would depent on the lenght of your upper body if that is on the longer side it likely wont work to well. overall I would say the upper body lenght of zone 3 is shorter ( not much but i can see it and feel it ) than roka and B70 .

I swim in the B70 Helix... I'd definitely err on the side of tight fitting. I swim in a small tall and a medium tall is "off season" for me while small tall is "in season". I'm over both the height and the weight for the small tall.

make sure you know your body and the wetsuit company's sizing chart. One brand will probably fit you best, not because that brand is better but because of sizing differences between each company's like sizes.
