I’m on the market for a new wetsuit, any opinion/suggestion about the zone3 aspire? fit, sizing, etc.?
me:
male
45 y/o
height 6ft (183cm)
chest 38" (98cm)
weight 160 (68kg)
IM swim ~55’
current w/s Aquasphere Racer size M (lots of races and training, so it has to go)
thanks!
I’m sure the folks who sell the suit will likely have a better grasp on sizing then myself, but I’m 5’10" 160 lbs and I’m in a size ML.
I have owned the suit for three years now and it’s been fantastic. It’s easy to get on and off, it’s comfortable and has been relatively durable (I have around 40 open water swims and around 12-15 races in it and there are not cuts, tears, or signs of wear). I’m an adult on-set swimmer but a decent one (1:25 pace for 1500). My form is not great, but not terrible and the suit doesn’t feel like it changes my form at all…kind of disappears on me but I am a fair bit faster with it on. As noted, mine is 3 years old, and the enclosure in the back has been improved from mine, and that was the only complaint I have. The rear isn’t terribly comfortable on a small portion of the back of my neck…but if that’s the only complaint you have for a suit at this cost, then you’re doing damn well.
