Very cool. Just not sure where to try. My lake is probably in the low 50’s to upper 40’s so no way am I getting in.

Take if for a swim in then ocean or if you really want to laugh, take it for a swim in the pool.
Warning: be careful doing flip turns in a pool. You will glide so much you may hit your heels or calves on the pool deck!
the arms are thicker but the body is thinner than most… moving the bouyancy to the fast moving parts… why did you choose for that over a thicker body ?
We designed it like this for a numer of reasons, all of which are explain on my website.
I invite you to read the two links for details!

I am not able to do flip turns well no matter what I have on.

I read the material at the links you provided. I am curious if the primary thinking with the suit was to benefit FOP, MOP or BOP swimmers? I believe they do have different needs. A BOP or MOP swimmer is going to need help with body position over anything else. A FOP is going to have good body position but it would help to sit higher on top of the water. It would seem these different needs would drive where/how you place the panels.
You would think that, but that is not the case. I invite you to read our guarantee and you will see if you do not find it to work as you hope, you may return it for a complete refund.
Ahhh, CA 70.3 and SuperFrog just got significantly warmer.
Thanks Emilio!!!
“…and thus the world’s fastest triathlon wetsuit”
Emilio- Do you have any empirical data you can share with us? I’d like to see at least some sample test numbers before I throw my T1 First Wave (which I love) on the Slowtwitch classifieds.

I know Emilio has done his own tests, but I should have mine up here in a week or two…And don’t worry, I know how to test wetsuits, been doing it ever since I tested Dans first QR in 1986…
Perfect…can’t wait for your results Monty!
I predict that thread stays on the front page of the Forum for more than a week;)

I do, but they are not independent tests therefore they are not going to be shared, as they will just appear as biased. But as I have stated in previous posts, why not form your own opinion? You are welcome to buy any of our T1 Wetsuits and test it for yourself. If you do not find it to live up to your expections, you may return it for a complete refund.
Below is our guarantee:

There has been a significant amount of interest in them here at TriSports.com. I’m looking forward to swimming in one. We’ll have to turn up the current in the endless pool!

Even if you’re the one swimming in it, man they must be fast. 
Just kidding Tom, have you been up Mt Lemmon yet, one of the prettiest rides I’ve ever done.

Sucks that they are not allowed in some European tri’s though.
Some, but not all!
I would say so sir. Trisports is the first store to buy off on the Water Rover Concept. Congrats on the move. You will be happy there. It is a warm place in more ways than one. Keep in touch.

In that case, I don’t think you should be claiming or marketing it as “the world’s fastest,” even with the guarantee.
Also not New Zealand or Australia.
