Anyone used Promotion wetsuits and what are your impressions?
Wow, its been a long time since I even looked at a Promotion suit. They used to make a suit called the 3/2/1 Blaster that was an early version of a tri-specific wetsuit. At the time, it was pretty state of the art.
I haven’t looked at their suits. With the four brands we sell that we like (AR, Orca, Aquaman and Desoto T1) we don;t see the need for much else.
There are too many wetsuit brands already.
I have several ProMotion wetsuits–the oldest has worked well for over 10 years. In the past, I could recommend them highly: made in USA and very well designed. Now the design is not as good as previously and they are made in Asia (of course so are many, many other brands like Orca). Now they are fairly run of the mill.
I have one thats a few years old. Its a good suite, not a great one. If generic will work for you get one, the price cannot be beat.
These are great wetsuits! I used the sleeveless suit last summer with awesome results. I was very impressed by the quality and price. I improved my transitions by :30-:45. I recently added the 2004 Fuild Drive full suit to my triathlon specific gear for IM CDA! I tested these suit last summer and found them to have some unique features. I feel for the price and quality you won’t find anything better. Check out www.wetsuit.com. In addition, they added a flashy, highly visible neon green suit for 2004!
Best of luck!
